Hebrew media - 4 soldiers killed in Jabalia in Jabalia:

the forces entered a house to comb it, and when they went up to the second floor of the house, it was completely booby-trapped and exploded on the forces, killing 4 soldiers immediately and wounding others

Grate news, but like I said. Donkeys on the ground.

Facking hell, Arab. Those are probably conscripts, following orders, with families back home.

Are you expecting me to feel sorry for the genocidal IDF Rosso? What about the families they’ve been torturing for the last 75 years?

There's a difference between 'feeling sorry for the IDF' and showing some humanity mate.

I think you know how I feel about the IDF as an organisation and its leadership. But there's more than a fair chance that at least some of those four were kids who really didn't want to be there, or believe in what they were doing.

It isn't 'grate news' when anyone dies in unneccesary conflict - soldier, civilian or child.

Who cares if they were ‘kids’. They still are part of this genocide and hope they burn in the deepest pits of hell

Minimum wages will rise in April, with the National Living Wage set to go up to £12.21 an hour, the chancellor has confirmed ahead Wednesday's Budget.

Rachel Reeves said that the pay boost marked a "significant step" towards achieving its promise of a "genuine living wage" for workers.

Good news, but that’s still about £23.4k a year which is crap if you live in certain parts of the country.

Finkelstein made his comments last week about how the IDF are very good at "video games" , meaning planes and drones, but that ultimately if they want their "buffer zone" they'll have to go in on foot they'll be up against proper fighters. Those figures back him up

We can all be proud of those F-15 bombers we’re keeping in the air for them…

In the interest of keeping on-topic and adhering to the title of this thread: the F-15 is not a bomber.

And prices will increase to cover it. Don’t disagree with the intention of it but there’s always a price to pay

That's the choice greedy directors decide. Rather than showing a bit of humility, graciously accept this fairly modest hit as way of thank you to the hard working tax payers for the fact they have a business at all, but that's all yesterday's news I suppose.

Why would you class directors as greedy? Many businesses are struggling and they will have to pass on any increases they suffer from.

People talk about raising minimum wages, adding 2% onto insurance costs, making it far more difficult to fire employees who can’t make the grade as if it’s just something they can absorb and pay out of some imagined gross profit taking.

It’s a ridiculous notion and bears absolutely no relationship to reality. Sure many will be able to take these hits but far more won’t without passing on these costs.

And nothing gets paid for unless private industry is encouraged to play its part.

I think I’d be waiting to see the markets reaction if all of these things come to pass as confidence it at its lowest ebb. Hardly being positive towards business as they seek to think.

Do you honestly think the Directors of Sainsbury's give a hoot? What about the Directors of the local grocery store that you don't visit?

If they want to hit greedy directors they'd raise corp tax on big businesses, but they won't do that because they don't want to alienate their big business chums. Instead they throw out a token of appeasement to people who still think they're left wing which doesn't change much for anyone except a load of struggling small businesses that are going to go under.

I buy things from my local independent grocer every day but thanks for telling me that I don't.

If a business that already employs minimum wage staff cannot afford less than a pound an hour increase, it's not really a business is it.

13 people killed by flooding in Spain

13 dead in southern Spain yesterday due to flash floods, and still you’ve got folk thinking climate change is a hoax. This is the new norm now.
