Because it is possible to make your point without being so aggressively antagonistic.

I’m not questioning the legitimacy of the party or equating them with Hamas. You understand that right?

I honestly doubt that for most people. Yes it is a simplistic view. Actually I think the essence of this war is justified, which puts me in the minority. But that hasn’t stopped me attempting to be objective. Something you’re apparently lacking.

The prevailing narrative in this thread hasn’t been lost on me. Indeed we’ve both been banned from it temporarily. Sadly the level you’re at in this debate (if you want to be generous enough to call it that) is very low. And to your second point, give me a break. ‘Can Likud be trusted?’ Is a...

Lest I made the mistake of interacting with an obvious troll, @Voodoo you are trying to make out posters here are anti-Israeli state and I don’t think that is true. People are very naturally anti-WAR that is costing the lives of innocents. Now how we interact with that doesn’t have to involve...

Labour know Reform voters are basically a lost cause at this point, especially when they can pick off the softer side of 2019 Cons. The Tories haven’t yet realised this, judging by the policy announcements today. The most interesting thing to watch will be how Don’t Knows break, and also the...

Caught up with this one, and I found it okay. I liked the gimmick, but it kind of falls apart a bit toward the end. I would’ve liked a ratcheting up of the creepiness of the situation rather than effects (however satisfyingly lo-fi). Occult horror is one of my favourite genres, and one of things...

Yes that is stupid. Yes a lot of people eat up the Hamas propaganda. But read the room .. you’re not covering yourself in glory here (much like the Israeli government tbh). It’s just coming across as trolling. Take a step back for a minute and solidly back up what you actually want to say…

Speaking as somebody who does actually think the talk of this as a genocide is completely ridiculous, CAN WE PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR A MINUTE AND CHILL OUT.

Lock this thread temporarily. This is just abysmal.

Correcting myself: Labour has committed to immediately end the deportations. They haven’t committed to repealing the act itself (which would be a lengthier process).

Labour have committed to repeal it on day one.

It’s complex, but ultimately the Commons has the upper hand and can essentially force the Lords to stand down … it’s the politics of the situation (or precedence) that will rule. The Lords delaying something indefinitely is just not in their interests, or, they’ll say, the country’s

The periods between the ‘ping pong’ would get shorter and shorter, the gov control the timetable after all. Theoretically the Lords could keep pushing it until the end of the year, but it would become existential eventually, taking up every minute of the day, week after week. It’s HIGHLY...

The Lords cannot stop the bill, it cannot override the Commons. The best it has is to delay. The press conference today is Sunak saying they will not drop it (the only hope to actually kill it). So essentially the Lords can either delay further into the night, angering the elected chamber, or...
