  4. See what happens? If every Palestinian renounced violence and handed over every last weapon in Gaza and the West Bank, Israel would continue it's blockade of Gaza, it would continue to bulldoze homes and build illegal settlements in the West Bank, it would continue to indefinitely detain Palestinians without trial, as they always have. While it's right to point out that Hamas are a vile organisation who have committed war crimes, Israel can't hide behind that. Criticising Israel does not equate to supporting Hamas and the fact Hamas are run by anti-semitic zealots does not excuse Israel's own war crimes. Netanyahu and Likud don't want peace, they never have wanted it and they've never acted in a way which suggests they want it. They know fine well that their actions only serve to radicalise ordinary Palestinians and drive more towards violence, they know fine well that the only way there'll ever be a lasting peace is if Israel withdraws and lifts the blockade, demonstrating that there is a genuine willingness to compromise and work towards peace on their part, but the likes of Netanyahu, Livni and the bigots at the grassroots of their party are as repulsed by the idea of a sovereign Palestinian state as the bigots in Hamas are by the existence of an Israeli state. Fair point, but the extent to which Western governments so openly lend support - diplomatically, financially and militarily - to Israel where they don't with other conflicts naturally leads to the public of those states focusing more attention on Israel due to the contribution of their own governments to the situation.

  8. A few days back I discovered that the shouts of "guilty!" on Erasure's wonderful Drama! single were performed by none other than The Jesus And Mary Chain. This newfound knowledge has not only made me a happier man but, I would argue, also a better one. Here's the video, although, regrettably, neither Jim or William Reid make an appearance... Anyway, fascinating music trivia, you must share some for pity's sake.

  9. No bother. Now it's eniterly possible that Lex, the generally intelligent, forward thinking and not at all prone to making a total arse of himself guy that he is, is not using the word "nationalist" to mean supporter of Scottish Independence. Perhaps he's making a general point about the nature of national identity and wasn't jumping on the comments of one slightly ignorant guy to try and relate it to a whole group of people he disagrees with. We'll never know. LOL. You're a weird guy man. A weird, slightly racist guy.

  13. I've asked this in a few places and had no response so maybe someone here can help. I'm wondering what the threshold of people who make the 'but Hamas were hiding fighters/weapons there' justification is. A house with rockets allegedly hidden underneath it with children inside - tough shit, they shouldn't have been in their home, their deaths are collateral damage, blame Hamas for making us bomb it A hospital with rockets allegedly stored nearby, filled with those already wounded by the conflict - tough shit, shouldn't have been in hospital, five deaths and hundreds of injuries are collateral damage, blame Hamas for making us bomb it A shelter for those made homeless by the conflict, with rockets allegedly stored nearby - tough shit, the civilians shouldn't have been in a shelter, 15 deaths and hundreds of injuries are collateral damage, blame Hamas for making us bomb it What's next? Does it progress to bombs killing hundreds at a time, always saying tough shit, they shouldn't have been there, it's their own fault? I'm wondering where the proponents of this argument draw the line on how many civilians is too many before you say 'we can't attack this target with that number of civilians in the area.' Hamas hiding rockets in a building with 500 civilians in the vicinity? 1000? 5000? Or do we take that argument to it's logical conclusion of a 139 square mile prison camp with 1.8 million people in it who aren't allowed to leave, with Hamas storing rockets amongst them - tough shit, shouldn't have been there, killing every last one of them is collateral damage, blame Hamas for making us bomb it? There is a right to a proportionate self-defence against attacks. There is no right to indiscriminately kill civilians. There is no right to attack UN shelters. Those are war crimes and they are utterly indefensible.

  15. Scarily close to the words I was away to type. Saved me the bother. 1320 Lichtie is dead wrong with his approach, I'm sorry dude but its a load of shite. I will never ever support a "Team GB" and find it utterly odd that other Scottish people could but I wouldn't decry them for that choice even if I didn't agree with it. I see "Britishness" the same way I see myself as a "European" it's an almost irrelevant part of my identity that I pay no credence to. I'm Scottish through and through, I absolutely fucking love my country and I want it to do as well as it is capable of doing outwith the treaty of union 1707, I firmly believe Scotland has a thousand fold more to offer the world away from the governance of Westminster. I love my country dearly and I'm happy to admit I'm a nationalist but my form of nationalism doesn't mean I view my country as being "better" than others, I just love it the most.

  24. I've only seen Celcer (?) against Clach and he looked dreadful in the first-half. I'm not convinced by him. The midfield is lacking in just about everything, two or three midfielders are really needed. For the time being, I still think Arquin and De Leeuw are the best option for County "up front". Ideally County line up like this on the opening day: Reguero Fenlon Boyd Dreesen left-back Brittain Balk central midfielder Cardle De Leeuw Arquin Fenlon, by all accounts, likes to get forward in a manner akin to Gary Miller - we know how well Brittain works with someone pushing forward either behind him or next to him. Brittain has, IMO, the best delivery of anyone in that team so he needs to start on the right. Balk looks like he will come and collect the ball from the defence, playing like a sort of own brand Paul Lawson. He also strikes me as being a better defensive player than Lawson was. The problem is who plays beside him? Filip Kiss would probably work very well beside him, being allowed to play freely without needing to do all the dirty work - unfortunately we don't have Filip Kiss. Quinn should not be starting. Cardle likes to cut inside a bit too much for my liking. He'll start on the opening day but I'm concerned that County will end up too narrow at times, particularly if Fenlon is pinned back. Mind you, we've seen De Leeuw move all across the park at times, so he could feasibly create the space for Cardle to run into, whilst also offering an "out ball" down the flank should Cardle get stuck. Starting the season with a front "two" familiar with each other is crucial IMO. When was the last time that happened? Arquin and De Leeuw work very well together, and although some will want Boyce to start, it doesn't make sense to sacrifice this partnership so early. These are just my thoughts however and a lot of it might be total nonsense. PS: In an ideal world where we had everyone that we wanted for the available positions, Adams would be going 4-3-3 like this, with De Leeuw and Arquin being "fluid" wingers, drifting all over the place and generally being creative geniuses in the final third: Reguero Fenlon Boyd Dreesen Oikonomou Lawson Brittain Kiss Arquin Boyce De Leeuw I know this isn't happening but don't take my dreams away from me

  26. I have just seen the allocated test grounds for next years fixtures and again a massive kick in the baws for Northern cricket fans. We have the obligatory three tests in London, one in that easily accessible cricketing mecca that is Cardiff, one at Trent Bridge and one at Edgbaston. Only Headingly has a test at the end of May, while Durham misses out for the second year running. It looks like Old Trafford despite being a good venue is only going to get tests every other year, and Durham is getting royally shafted. Why can't they occasionally miss out the Oval, or heavens forbid only give Lords one test per summer (yes I know tourists love to play at Lords), as right now cricketing fans in the North are getting a right royal shafting. The allocation of tests is decidedly unfair, and with the Rose Bowl, getting added to the list we fans in the North will have considerably fewer options in future years to watch Test cricket. Furthermore the ECB are charging clubs an absolute fortune to host tests meaning us the fans are getting hammered at the ticket office, not to mention the recent trend in developing five day make as much cash as you can wickets. It's a dear couple of days at the cricket now. Anyway back to today's play, where the wicket should do something so hopefully Cook will put them in if he wins the toss. Broad should have a big impact on this surface, and hopefully Buttler will have a good debut.

  28. I support all European athletes and sporting teams, as that is my primary national identity. I also consider myself as a world citizen though, so that means I can support pretty much whoever I like. Except the English of course, because they're a bunch of dickheads.

  29. Aye, I'm with you there. Obviously the potential hotness of actresses in GOT deserves some special recognition so let's get into it! As it stands I have no idea who these women are. Having showed the video to a friend though I've now learned they're Oberyn's children? If so that's quality... Nothing better than the offspring of my hero to try and relive some former joys - I'm looking at you Enzo Zidane! Anyway, none of them look like the unbelievably stunning actresses I'm sure book readers would have imagined but they're all in their no make-up and no frills persona eh? Once they've got a bit of shine and outfits on I'm sure they'll be fucking stunning. One of them in particular looked amazing either way. Fucking love burds. Wish they didn't talk.

  32. I enjoyed 5-1 as much as the next hearts man and love a danny dyer effort or similar every now and again. That being said the mongoloids in our support who won't shut up about it do my head in though. They are like a bunch of sad act schoolkids who finally said something funny by mistake and then utterly kick the arse out of it.

Anyway, I came to share my random revelation that I've finally sussed out Kilmarnock: It's basically a wee Dumfries with the worst bits of Cumbernauld dropped on the city centre and a pile of council schemes built around the around the sides to make it look more Ayrshirey for passers by.

  40. Unless the electoral system has suddenly been altered to a national popular vote, that's neither here nor there. Additionally, it is very much the case that the UK will have a conservative government (small c) in either case, given that there isn't a single Labour principle that the current shadow cabinet wouldn't happily shove in front of a speeding train for marginal gains in the Home Counties.

  41. Israel has been at war with Gaza for years, their blockade has turned it into a prison where they decide how much Gazans are allowed to eat*, they've blown up their airport and docks, destroyed their orchards, houses, factories, infrastructure, and closed the borders. They collect the taxes for any exports they permit, and withhold them, so Gazans working for the civil service, hospitals, schools etc aren't paid. Nothing has changed when they don't fire rockets, the siege continues. If you treat people like that for decades it's very unlikely you'll get a rational, pacifist response. * http://www.haaretz.com/resources/Pdf/red-lines.pdf (In the document it is stated that this calories allowed per head document was never put into effect. An Israeli court decided otherwise.)
