I shall be wearing a white poppy.
Interesting to learn that they were first shown in 1933.

Yes, especially those thousands of children, dead now!
Or those seeking shelter in supposedly protected United Nations facilities, but bombed regardless.

The only way it could be stopped is if the government declared it a threat to national security, which it obviously isn't.
Are you going?

On this forum that behaviour is very odd.


It probably explains the reduction in posts recently

There's a certain amount of truth in this - I've started to give Twitter a miss recently as it's just relentless and I think damaging to your mental health. Far too many just intent on a split second gotcha moment and point scoring. The idea that you can find wrong on both sides of this conflict is just lost on so many.

Saturday is obviously going to be an awful battleground now - Suella and her ilk have created exactly what they wanted. Another divisive culture war that diverts attention away from the skip-fire government we're lumbered with.
And all the usual suspects have reliably taken the bait. Thankfully, although they make a lot of noise, there isn't actually that many of them.

There was already peace and a ceasefire until Hamas broke it

I'm sure the death and destruction is a high number, but I dont trust any figures the Hamas health ministry publish.

This is correct - but only if you consider the events of the last 4 weeks have happened in a complete vaccuum.

Which of course, it hasn't. Making your comment rather silly.
