    Hostages ? What sort of vile scum holds innocent women and children hostage ? And you want to give them credit because the scum are not starving them to death ? Jesus fecking wept. Your moral compass is more than slightly askew mon ami, shame on you.

    It begins.................

    "A major new factory from one of the American tech giants perhaps? Or a new lab from one of the pharmaceutical giants? Or, best of all, a huge new green energy fund. The newly appointed Chancellor Rachel Reeves was probably hoping for some positive investment news for her first week in office, especially as she has decided, in an unprecedented move, to make ‘growth’ a ‘national mission’. Instead, one of the UK’s best businesses has cut almost a third of its UK workforce – and that will just be the start of the corporate exodus from Labour’s Britain.

    Dyson will argue that its decision to axe 1,000 jobs in the UK, announced today had nothing to do with the election of a new government. It had been planned for months. Well, perhaps. In fact this is a company that racked up record revenues of more than £7 billion last year, up 9 per cent year-on-year. It is hardly in trouble. It would have known Labour was about to take power and planned accordingly. The timing, to put it politely, seems designed to make a point."


    Last to leave, please turn out the lights.

    Dyson is a tax dodging tw@t. Incidentally, your pro-Brexit founder, Sir James Dyson, moved the group’s corporate headquarters to Singapore in 2019, pointing to the growing importance of supply chains and customers in Asia. But go ahead and blame Labour.

    Oh I will mon ami, I will, you can rest assured about that. Labour is now the government, anything that happens on their watch is their responsibility. C'est la vie.

    Yes let's all forgive and forget the bloody awful legacy of 14 years of Tory corruption and mismanagement. Not!

    Labour lunatics have taken over the asylum.

    Millaband has banned any future exploration licenses for North Sea oil, in his personal journey to bring the country to it's knees in his pursuit of Net Zero.

    This lot are crack pots and are out to destroy what little is left of British manufacturing

    If you think hostages are well treated because they haven't been starved, you don't feckin have a moral compass.

    I think your moral compass has been hit with a sledgehammer mon ami. The New York Times reports, "More than 9,000 Palestinians imprisoned under Israel’s military and national security laws are being held in Israeli detention facilities, the highest figure in more than a decade, according to rights groups, who say that many of the detainees are being held without charges and have been abused while in custody."

    What truly amazes me is how Israel and its allies with all of their sophisticated surveillance techniques can't locate what's left of the Israeli hostages. I think the Israel/US media is having us over.

    IN other words, Israel is keeping 9000 Palestinians in safe surroundings while they continue to hunt for Hamas who use Palestinians as human shields in large areas which they know that the Israelis will continue to search and destroy. The rights groups should realise this, however, it does not suit their Anti-Israeli agenda.
    Innocent Palestinians, innocent Isaelis etc. are all suffering because Hamas overstepped the mark some nine months ago and started something which may never be resolved.

    The Israelis have been doing arbitrary detention for the last 35 years and it's pretty well documented only Pontins can offer worse accommodation and treatment. It will be resolved because soon there will be no live Palestinians left in Gaza.
