Johnson simply going to ignore any scrutiny until after the election.

What a fucking coward. What a fucking shambles of an election, and a country. 

It certainly does not paint him in a very good light if he doesn't do the Andrew Neil interview. I thought Neil's closing statement was cutting.

And the SNP loyal will keep repeating this. He’s racist. He shat it. He is a joke etc.

The real answer is - he will hold a majority on the 13th. Democracy wins.

 

Could you not at least keep your repetitive trolling to one thread rather than ruining every thread please?

Shoosh.  The Snippers have no capacity for contrary views.  You're a troll, mate.

He actually makes you look subtle. As hard as that is to imagine.

I’m trolling.

 

One only has to be au fait with the championship forum to have a nostril of the flavour of tragic attention seeking that has no outcome other than pity and reactive opprobrium for wise counsel.

Given that my starting position is that Yessers are empty-headed grievance jockeys spurred on by xenophobia then that's hardly a stretch.

Aye but you at least vomit different nonsense in your attempts to troll rather than saying the same three things in multiple posts across multiple threads.

Another seething disaster of a post from you.

#BackSNP #WarNicola

Haha please I'm not the one currently doing a parody version of myself because someone pointed out how dull your schtick was.

The Mizrahi Jews were driven out or had to flee Arab countries where they had been present for millennia, and for the most part they have no right of return. Presenting Israel as only being a settler colonial project driven by 19th century Zionism is a gross over-simplification of what has happened. Israel can also be viewed as being part of a process similar to what happened in Europe in the previous 100 years and up to as recently as the 90s in Yugoslavia where ethnically homogeneous nation states have been carved out in areas that had previously been highly multiethnic.

Also not sure where this white bit is coming into the equation given what happened with the Falasha Jews from Ethiopia back in the 1980s, and given many/most people would tend to view most Palestinians as being white as well. It's very much forced as an analogy because a lot of Palestinians are actually relatively recent Ottoman era arrivals from the Balkans or the Caucasus in ancestral terms.  This image, for example, looks a wee bit different from Soweto in the 1970s and a lot more like Pristina in the 1990s:

Nobody in the international community is seriously suggesting a one-state solution is the way to go for Serbs and Albanians, so not sure why it has become so trendy to suggest it would be viable or sensible with Israel and Palestine. Hopefully it all gets sorted out eventually in an even-handed way that provides peace, prosperity and democracy to everybody in that part of the world. Long term I doubt Israel will be able to use military force alone to prevail in that part of the world given how little strategic depth they have. At some point they are going to need something like the failed Oslo peace process to work.

Have yet to read the preceding posts but the Palestinians and Jews are essentially the same people. Both are Semites - a reference to their shared linguistic heritage. One says 'shalom' the other 'salaam'. Somewhat akin to Scottish/ Irish Gaelic or Spanish/ Italian.

As to recent public discussions, surely folk can easily hold the Israeli govt to account w/o aiming at all 'Jews'?
