It's probably Israel's way of not being there without being seen to back out

Israel is threatening to pull out of this year's Eurovision Song Contest after Eurovison have told them that the song they have submitted breaks the rules as is references the Hamas attacks in the lyrics of the song.

I never watch it, but isn't it a rule that songs have to be politically neutral?

Yes. Always has been.

The Court of Appeal is to rule on Shamima Begum's bid to overturn the government's decision to strip her of her British citizenship.

Personally I think it would be wrong to strip her of her citizenship but hopefully she gets a lengthy prison sentence for her terrorist activities

The far and extreme Right don't have much faith in British people and our love of our values and traditions do they? They seem a very, mentally, fragile and scared lot TBH. Obviously there is money to be grifted stoking fear and encouraging division and we've always had rabble-rousers wanting to enrich themselves and/or garnish influence, will GBnews ever be a vehicle for either?

Hector was talking about the British.

Wasn't Waterloo using Napoleon surrendering (he didn't surrender at Waterloo) as a metaphor for a woman surrendering to a man and promising to love him? It also referred to an event 150 years prior in a none political way.

If Israel entered a song referring to Otto Van Bismarck and the Franco-Prussian war in the 1870s, in some metaphor for a love story; I don't think we'd be having this discussion.

Could be because you're special and noteworthy

Could be because your postings standout as full of tosh

Since you were raised to incorrectly believe the former, there's no point trying to convince you of the latter

Some have imaginary friends

Others have imaginary far right enemies

Christianity is widely criticised by atheists and agnostics.

If you point out the only religion to be on the rise is backwards and bad for society you get accused of some kind of phobia though.

As for the speaker, he has to go. Today. To not even show up to deal with the ramifications of his bad decision speaks volumes for the type of man he is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

That's ridiculously harsh. I agree with much of your post before this point but many of those MPs calling for him to resign are stressing that they consider him a good man who made an honest mistake, but that his position is untenable.

The type of man he is?! One that made a mistake. And it will probably cost him his role. But he apologised yesterday, apologised again today.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


The comment was less about the decision he made a d more about his abdication of duty when he failed to return to the chamber to deal with the fallout, instead sending a deputy (who was unsupported by any clerk).

I think if you're making a decision like he did then he should show leadership and be present for the criticism that was always going to come his way. I'm appalled by that and I think his shirking of responsibility shows the type of man he is.

I'm sure he's lovely though.

Exactly.

And these guys have recency bias. Christianity been causing wars for millennia and responsible for far worse than Islam.

I don't remember the Muslims leaving their continent to fight crusades over the "holy land" in Europe. It was christians doing that in the name of their God. All the way to the Levant in the year 1100 to die in the name of God. They must have been very committed, even though the Muslims eventually whooped their asses back to Europe to lick their wounds.

Fast forward to today and we are still doing the crusades. Christianity is still all up in that land trying to take it over.

Then they run a propaganda campaign in the west that allows simpletons like Oscar and Clapfree to blame Islam for everything.

Use your brain, going by your logic, the bigger and longer running problem is Christianity.

Screw that. The government here actually owns the pot shops as well as the liquor stores. And it's pretty well destroyed the illicit pot business(which was a profitable little cottage industry). 21 to buy it and just last week was the first time I didn't have to produce picture I.D. I'm 68 and have never been asked for I.D. before the weed was legalised. Anyway, get on to your M.P. as Peter Tosh sang "Legalise It". Good little tax grab for govs.

ALL religion is backwards imo, living your life today based on books, rules and ideas from millennia ago is bad for society.
Each to their own though.

UK Special Forces blocked Afghan troops they had fought alongside from relocating to the UK after the Taliban seized power, BBC Panorama can reveal.

Leaked documents show special forces rejected applications despite some containing compelling evidence of service alongside the British military.

Afghan commandos accompanied British special forces on some of the most dangerous missions of the conflict.
