Interesting in the Evening Standard that a judge has asked for tougher charges. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/hull-yorkshire-hull-crown-court-chester-crown-court-south-yorkshire-police-b1176473.html

Maybe not for Iran, though. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/21/biden-says-hamas-attacks-aimed-to-halt-israel-saudi-arabia-agreement-00122880

At the time, many were saying that they did it to stir things up, because Iran was worried there was going to be some sort of accord between Israel and various Arab states in the region.

That is also true.

Can they circle around and attack the Russians in the south from behind? Reports that Ukraine are using Challenger 2 tanks inside Russia.

Why? Hardly anyone else does.

I would imagine Lucy Connolly is having sleepless nights. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz6x105wgz5o

Everyone knows Netanyahu is only continuing the war/annihilation to avoid being sacked and facing criminal trials. Everyone knows Trump is only standing for re-election to avoid prison. It's all so sad.

You don't seem to be much of a big picture person when it comes to economics!

Weren't those figures from the period before Labour came to power?

It's not useful to look at a couple of quarters. I said exactly the same when growth was negative. Over the past nine quarters growth has averaged about 0.14%

These record temperatures are caused by a strong El Nino. That presents a danger to those who want faster action on climate change. The last time records were broken like this, in the late 1990s, it gave the climate change sceptics an opportunity. Because that late 90s spike in temperatures was...

I don't know this guy but, TBH, I found the interview very disappointing. He momentarily mentions that his support for Israel is partly a gut feeling. But the main reason Douglas Murray gives for supporting Israel seems to be that they are fighting against Muslims. And then lots of nonsense...

IMO, this guy has totally misunderstood why it's funny. If Trump really had a speech impediment, then people wouldn't be making fun of him. It's funny because of the way that Twitter distorts his voice and makes him sound like a cartoon. A bit like when someone inhales helium and then talks...

Do you mean that the machine doesn't give out tickets or that you chose not to receive one?

I'm sure there's lots more groups to add. I was really thinking about the sort of attackers who might have caused a resurgence of the far right riots. But speaking of anti-semitism, I found this yesterday when looking into the crimes of stirring up racial hatred. It's a quote by a prominent far...
