To be fair it is a problem but whether it's a big problem is just a point of view. I often read that we need to work with the EU but the EU hasn't been able to address their own problem in Europe either. Basically there's no solution other than to ask whether it is actually a priority? It is...

None of these policies make sense at all whichever way we do it. They're costly schemes that go to attack an issue that actually is not really an issue, we're talking about less than 50,000 people per year, less than 10% of total immigration. It has been made into an issue purely because of the...

I suppose this requires the question to be rephrased. Are more people in favour of stopping the boats or are more people in favour of stopping the people who are on them? If it's the former then that can easily be solved by safe and legal routes for asylum, I doubt any majority wants this. If...

Maybe Corbyn preferred this flag which definitely is not a flag of oppression...

There's obviously a funding problem indeed but there will always be a limit on funding eventually. The excuse of lack of funding doesn't mean that other things aren't also at fault, extra funding just masks these problems. The public sector in many respects still operates like it's the 1970's...

Wtf? Can't even tell!

This game is showing why the treble last year was such a mental achievement.

Jesus christ, it's a matter of time until they score from these breaks.

Ukraine is a completely different situation. Most Russian long range attacks come from cruise missiles which are more or less impossible to shoot down by a plane because they're fast and you'd have to know first that they're coming. You'd therefore have to patrol an area constantly and that...

I think the issue is that at heart people are well intentioned when they criticise the west because it actually makes sense in a lot of ways because what the CIA and others have done over many years has been in places abhorrent. However, the naivety of people is they believe that the west is...

Western ships are being attacked by Iran, just yesterday a Portuguese flagged ship was illegally seized in international waters by Iran. It's inevitable that we're going to get involved whether that's to play a protective role of an ally or to protect our own interests because both are part and...

What would the UK look like if Israel had been levelled last night and we did nothing? We knew an attack was coming and we were involved to prevent loss of life, nobody can argue it didn't work. Jordan has been a big critic of Israel and even Jordan participated in shooting down Iranian drones...

Do you criticise the attack by Israel on that embassy? I guess you're going to say yes so do you also criticise the attack by Iran last night? My guess is the answer is no. With that in mind I don't think there is anything left to say.

How do you know that they didn't target civilians given 98%+ of the missiles were destroyed, many before they even arrived in Israeli airspace? This is a pointless discussion. Iran attacked Israel and that's all we know and so we can only assume that civilians could of been targeted or killed...

On one thread we're talking about genocide and war crimes however on this one we're saying that it was just an attempt which resulted in nothing so let's move on? I really do give up on this forum. The Israeli response will not be nothing regardless of the damage done. It could of been really...

If the UK or even Manchester was attacked by hundreds of missiles targeted at the civilian population then would you expect our response to be well the damage was 'nugatory' so let's move on? I'm not saying that Israel should respond but it'd be utterly moronic to expect and somehow justify...

So 7 legitimate military targets die and a proportionate self-defence response is for Iran to attempt to kill thousands of innocent civilians.... And now Israel should just accept that and move on? Honestly mate, you cannot understate just how serious this escalation is and how grave the attack...

How has Iran, Syria and their biggest friend Russia abided by international law over the last 10 years? All three of them stand accused of genocide, war crimes, anti-democracy etc etc. These are not the good guys either mate.

This has nothing to do with what's happening in Gaza. The Iranians retaliated last night because several of their most high profile military leaders were killed by Israel. Israel killed them because they were plotting and directing attacks against Israel. Those leaders have not been plotting...

So killing thousands of Israeli's is fair game then? I know this forum likes to mention war crimes but last night would of been a war crime had it succeeded. Either way do you think that Iran has helped the people of Gaza through this action? As I said I don't know what people expect Israel to...
