Trump recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel won’t go down very well. He essentially legitimises so many of the illegal settlements that exist.
In an ideal world Jerusalem would be divided between a newly established state of Palestine and Israel.
But it isn’t an ideal world and too many of the extremists on both side seem hell bent on annihilation.
That’s some pretty fucking severe levels of incompetence. Why not just do what they did with the woman?
Guy sounded like a cunt from the off, and anyone who has “you’re fucked” etched on the barrel of his rifle sounds like a fucking trigger happy psycho who should be in an institution.
Man refuses threesome, woman gets pissed off and starts smashing shit up, guy comes at her to get her to stop, she bites his testicle off, gets off with a £500 compensation fine and 6 months house arrest between 10pm and 6am.
He’s blaming an increase in the workforce for skewing productivity “measurements” (rather than productivity), then he throws in a textbook government politicians brag about how many disabled people they’re getting into work.
I think the problem is that it reads like he is scapegoating disabled people, it is bound to to some people in the context of the truly appalling way that the Tories have treated thousands of disabled people since 2010. I’m sure that I don’t need to elaborate on the disgraceful benefits reassessments that have caused significant harm to the disabled community, because you’re very tuned in to current affairs. If you treat thousands of disabled people with contempt and disdain then of course people are going to have a problem with comments in which you in part blame disabled people for a lack of productivity in our economy, because the comments will appear to fit in with a pattern of treating disabled people like shit.
I wasn’t hugely bothered by these comments, if it’s accurate then there’s not much wrong with saying it, what bothers me more is that they are seemingly unable to offer any sort of evidence to actually back up the claims. They have been asked to in parliament and have nothing to offer. If the comments have no basis in reality then it is a problem, and he should answer for it.
I wonder if this will be replicated in other countries, and what will be the impact of this vote in the US, it’s also shocking that 5 people can take a major decision like this one, on behalf of the US citizens.
So Bob Geldof gave back his freedom of Dublin in objection to Aung San Suu Kyi maintaining the same honour.
Today the council voted to revoke her freedom of the city and to effectively revoke his too on account of it being disrespectful to give it back. Apparently he’s not happy.
