"It is ironic that [the PM's] suddenly taken such a keen interest in Greek culture when he's clearly become the man with the reverse Midas touch," says Keir Starmer.
"Everything he touches turns to... well maybe the Home Secretary can help us out here."

Peter Andre to join GB news as a presenter in December
As a Les Patterson tribute act?
Javid stating the bleeding obvious, Johnson delegated the running of the country and Conservative party policy to an unelected official Cummings "acted as Prime Minister in all but name".
But but but the EU....
Boris Johnson dismissed the idea of consulting with employees and trade unions, seeming to refer to those not back in the office as "all the malingering work-shy people".
BBC Two's Newsnight is to be cut back and have its format overhauled as part of a plan to save money in the corporation's news department.
The long-running show will lose its dedicated reporters, be shortened by 10 minutes and drop its investigative films to focus on studio-based debates.
-----------
So basically Newsnight is just going to become yet another show where two people argue different points regardless of facts all so they can clip something for social media.

Did the West force the Taliban to destroy those wonderous Buddhist statues in Afghanistan?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The statues had been there for ages and no one ever destroyed them.
The west shows up and all of a sudden the statues need to go? How convenient.
Why did the Taliban destroy then when they did? What had they been doing all their lives? What were the muslims waiting for all those years?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There's plenty of videos of the Taliban blowing them up, they claimed they were 'false idols'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What does that have to do with what I asked?

Pretty odd to blame anyone but the Taliban for blowing them up, the west has to bear responsibility for their idiotic foreign wars but to blame them for the cultural vandalism and stripping Palmyra of its carved treasures is plain wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair enough but is there some logic as to why the Muslims suddenly realise the that the "idols" need to go. What had they been waiting for for centuries? Why when the west shows up do they suddenly realise they need to destroy the idols? Just asking.

It's how politics works these days. Less substance, more Oprah Winfrey type sheet. Don't need people learning about actual facts and situations as they might actually vote wisely if they do.
Henry Kissinger dead. There's no hell big enough

You're asking the wrong person, I'm definitely not a Muslim extremist.
I could hazard a guess, that they're fundamentalists that reject the worship of false gods or idols and wanted to send a message to Afghani Buddhists...if there are any.
The west has nothing to with the behaviour of the narrow-minded lunatics...imo.
The Taliban came to power originally after the Mujahideen had defeated the Russians.
The West may have played a small part in that but to pin any blame for the destruction of the statues on the West is ludicrous.

Have to say, you can't blame the west, and you are correct about those narrow minded idiots tbf. But this fundamentalist ideology that is supposedly a big problem for us has its own history in the decades since WW2.

"If someone is going to blackmail me with advertising or money go F**k yourself."

No doubts events over the span of history has impacts felt decades later but religious extremism (of all religions) has existed forever not just since WW2.
It's arguable that Islamic extremism has existed from its beginning ever since the schism between Sunni and Sh'ia.
The Taliban would be the equivalent of the anabaptists in Germany who believed force was justified against anyone not in their sect.

Yeah, but what about the weaponisation of religious extremism? Especially for political or economic purposes?
Religious extremists are geniuses who demonstrate their propensity to being controlled, taking in and not questioning an agenda, and being used through their religious extremism. Some people look at that situation and see an opportunity to advance their own interests.
Look at the origin and history of the Taliban, for example? Surely you can't absolve the west from all blame there, can you? And it's the Taliban that are now the fundamentalists destroying artefacts and statues and basically ruining everything for their own people and the whole world by extension, keeping their own people oppressed, primitive and disorganised so unable to make something of their immense wealth, necessitating that we fight expensive wars to protect ourselves from them which leave us in unpayable debt owed to mysterious figures and deep in trouble economically and even socially, and that also leads to deaths of hundreds of thousands and puts millions in sufferation, not to mention that "mental torture" we all have to live with knowing that these things are going on even if it's not in your backyard.

Have to say, you can't blame the west, and you are correct about those narrow minded idiots tbf. But this fundamentalist ideology that is supposedly a big problem for us has its own history in the decades since WW2.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No doubts events over the span of history has impacts felt decades later but religious extremism (of all religions) has existed forever not just since WW2.
It's arguable that Islamic extremism has existed from its beginning ever since the schism between Sunni and Sh'ia.
The Taliban would be the equivalent of the anabaptists in Germany who believed force was justified against anyone not in their sect.

Did the West force the Taliban to destroy those wonderous Buddhist statues in Afghanistan?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The statues had been there for ages and no one ever destroyed them.
The west shows up and all of a sudden the statues need to go? How convenient.
Why did the Taliban destroy then when they did? What had they been doing all their lives? What were the muslims waiting for all those years?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There's plenty of videos of the Taliban blowing them up, they claimed they were 'false idols'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty odd to blame anyone but the Taliban for blowing them up, the west has to bear responsibility for their idiotic foreign wars but to blame them for the cultural vandalism and stripping Palmyra of its carved treasures is plain wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair enough but is there some logic as to why the Muslims suddenly realise the that the "idols" need to go. What had they been waiting for for centuries? Why when the west shows up do they suddenly realise they need to destroy the idols? Just asking.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're asking the wrong person, I'm definitely not a Muslim extremist.
I could hazard a guess, that they're fundamentalists that reject the worship of false gods or idols and wanted to send a message to Afghani Buddhists...if there are any.
The west has nothing to with the behaviour of the narrow-minded lunatics...imo.

Yeah, but what about the weaponisation of religious extremism? Especially for political or economic purposes?
Religious extremists are geniuses who demonstrate their propensity to being controlled, taking in and not questioning an agenda, and being used through their religious extremism. Some people look at that situation and see an opportunity to advance their own interests.
Look at the origin and history of the Taliban, for example? Surely you can't absolve the west from all blame there, can you? And it's the Taliban that are now the fundamentalists destroying artefacts and statues and basically ruining everything for their own people and the whole world by extension, keeping their own people oppressed, primitive and disorganised so unable to make something of their immense wealth, necessitating that we fight expensive wars to protect ourselves from them which leave us in unpayable debt owed to mysterious figures and deep in trouble economically and even socially, and that also leads to deaths of hundreds of thousands and puts millions in sufferation, not to mention that "mental torture" we all have to live with knowing that these things are going on even if it's not in your backyard.
