But, but NATO is a defensive organisation so is it not a bit ridiculous they have carried out offensive attacks and indiscriminate bombing in Belgrade, Iraq and Libya?

I'm not sensationalising my point. Indiscriminate bombing of urban areas kills innocent men, women and children. Whether you think that is sensational or not is completely irrelevant.

Did they avoid bombing the women and children then?
Yes. But unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the buildings that they did bomb then collapsed on top of the women and children who happened to be inside. An enquiry is needed to determine the link between the two events but, until then, I'd suggest we avoid any speculation.
Does the fact that Belgrade was bombed 78 days in a row help with your enquiries at all?
Too soon to tell. Let's not jump to any conclusions.

But you put your argument across in specific terms: " NATO were otherwise involved bombing Women and children in Belgrade". Bombed Belgrade, yes, but they didn't go there for the sole purpose of bombing / killing Women and children.
One things for sure, you would make a very good minister of propaganda..

Seems that the only thing more predictable than left wingers falling out with each other is right wingers falling out.

Rupert Lowe criticises Farage's leadership and is immediately suspended by the company for bullying.

"Mr Hartley said he thought it was "fair enough" that Reform UK had suspended him over the posts."

No, he's doing it all wrong! Double down, mate. Double down.

Farage, and his private company masquerading as a political party, is a politician for hire. In UKIP, he effectively tapped in to public unease with the way the political establishment had implemented mass immigration policies, without proper mandate, as an economic measure to satisfy corporate and private capital interests. And without any care or consideration of the impact it would have on society. He did this because it was a means to an end in delivering outcomes his paymasters desired (namely, Brexit).

He never really cared about reducing immigration. His paymasters wanted to increase immigration. They just wanted to replace regulated EU migrants with cheaper and more exploitable migrants from the developing world. And this is exactly what has come to pass, especially with the so-called "Boriswave."

Recently, his paymasters appear to have changed, and this has coincided with a change in rhetoric from Farage. He's hardly mentioning immigration anymore but is trying to use the topic of Net Zero as his replacement political device. Any Reform subscribers or MPs that have not read this memo are being given the boot.

The problem for him is that, while there is plenty of cynicism of Net Zero, it is just not as intrinsically unpopular and opposed by a large-enough swathe of voters as immigration. And his switch is revealing him as the grifter that he is to more and more people. Hence why we are now witnessing the hard/radical right turn on him (the far right had always had him sussed).
