Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Lack of a moral compass has never worried Royalty or the vast majority of politicians mon ami. It's not going to change anytime soon.

That statement is truly sad mon ami, true but sad.

A serious question for you Balan, how do the Zionists regard kibbutz living?

Not all people in towns know about kibbutz life. Many may not think highly about it because all ''Kibbutzniks'' are basically on the same wage, You can drive a tractor and basically see that the kibbutz waste is collected and 'dumbed in the correct place, or be a manager of a kibbutz factory, and have the same wage. Plus you may be asked to fill in a work position, if one is needed? Then how many jobs are available on the Kibbutz? A person ,or family may come to a kibbutz but I think only if they are supported by some Kibbutz member. The Kibbutz is village life ,not all wish for such a way of living?
By Zionists I am taking it you mean the Jewish people living in towns and cities? The Kibbutzim have a common Dining Room where all go to eat lunch, but not all kibbutzim are the same, a Kibbutz is agricultural, but to succeed it must have some industry My Kibbutz has a factory making cardboard, we make the cardboard and out it goes from the factory and is sold all over Israel, ( I am not sure if some is sold to Jordan too ?) Depending on its industry a Kibutz may be ? Rich or poor? We also have fish farming ,mainly Carp Tilapida, a cotton fields, a plant nursery, about 80-90 milking cows, a health clinic, the cardboard factory is are chief earner it runs 24/7,so we may be regarded as a rich kibbutz. From time to time we have chickens ,thousands!! And orchards oranges ,pears. Plus a garage for repairs, all welcome !

Kibutz living sounds like the only way communism has ever worked, because it is run within a thriving capitalist country.

Food for thought BT ?

Watch the TV at 11 o'clock ballcock you will see everything that is wrong with this country. Billionaires laying wreaths in "honour" of over one million British soldiers killed for serving King and country.

Meanwhile thousands of British military veterans are homeless and living on our streets.

It's the billionaires tax that support public services and pay the housing for the parasites who enter our country illegally, and take housing from British military veterans

I reckon if some of those veterans could grab hold of you they would put you in front of a firing squad. Just imagine fighting 2 world wars to support someone with anti British views as extreme as yours

The billionaires are all tax dodging skiving ratbags ballcock, that's why our society is so inequitable.

'' Kibbutz living sounds like the only way communism has ever worked, because it is run within a thriving capitalist country.''

BUT :
Kibbutzim are changing significantly, moving away from their traditional communist-style model toward a more privatized, individualistic system with differentiated salaries. While many have adopted a privatized model, they often maintain a cooperative spirit, communal services, and a focus on shared values and a rural lifestyle.

Dream on mon ami, the Dems had these files for four years and sat on them, if there was anything incriminating Trump they'd have had it front page news quicker than a rat can run up a drain. As you well know.

If so that's worrying mon ami, the only world leader and politician of any stature since St Margaret. I like the cut of Vance's jib, he's probably the best there is, but can he emulate our Donald, tall order.

Do you support the practice of putting the US army on the streets of cities held by Democrats mon ami? I find the militarisation of US politics beyond disturbing.

Do you support the governement of this country stopping farmers from protesting and bringing tractors into London to aid their protest. Police having to lay down the letter of the law and all because they are trying to protect their livelihood and their families.
They missed a trick reallly because, had they adorned their tractors with flags of a certain nation, they would have had many others joining them and not a word said.
In any case, the way this government is treating Veterans, we won't have enough military to maintain security in this country before long, never mind putting them on the streets.

Blinking heck mein freund that post is way off topic. I had properties in Cumbria in the 80's & 90's and I greatly sympathise with the plight of British farmers. I lived in the Eden Valley and lived amongst the very people who help to feed us. The thanks they get is heartbreaking.

The British Labour party has had a long standing conflict with Tory landowners which unfortunately drags working farmers into this political malaise.

Also successive governments of either hue have shown nothing but disdain for our military veterans, the eejits who salute each while adorned in high ranking military uniforms, displaying pomp and splendour make me feel physically sick on Remembrance Day. It's time they got their $hit together and start ensuring our ex-servicemen & women who need help - get it.

Whatever your cause, whatever your protest Sir Kid Starver and his cronies are supressing it. Three years in jail for holding up a placard. WTF!

Is it way off topic because I referred to politics and problems in this country rather than the USA, Israel or wherever else?
People with a political bent, such as yourself BT, could do something about events in this country, however, nothing is done.

The Veterans, their families and also those still serving are given more help by charities, such as the one that I do voluntary work for, than by any government and it is getting harder to help because less is being donated to charity.

Putting the miltary on the streets of the USA does not bother me one bit, I don't live there and it is their problem.
