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

I don't need a dictionary to see ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza for what it is sinkov.

Killing and displacing an unharmed civilian population is barbaric and beyond words.

Netanyahu is a monster.

You can have your own opinion on what's happened in Gaza, but whatever you say about it doesn't make it genocide, not even close. There'd hardly be anyone left in the ****-hole if it was genocide, but there they are in their countless thousands, traipsing back up north and their number still totals well over two million.

I would agree with you B T but ,''unharmed?''
After Palestinian militant groups led by Hamas launched an attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 which saw a minimum of 1,139 largely non-combatant individuals killed, Israel declared war against Hamas. Oh yes, its true killing an unharmed civilian population is barbaric.

"The Foreign Office is to open talks on slavery reparations with Caribbean officials demanding trillions of pounds from the UK, sources have claimed. Members of the Reparations Commission of the Caribbean Community (Caricom), a political grouping of 15 states that has long demanded compensation from former colonial powers, are planning to come to Britain in April. According to Caribbean sources, a meeting has been planned as part of a Caricom delegation of officials and political leaders who will restate demands that Britain pay for its role in the slave trade."

I have decided to donate my winter fuel payment to this worthy cause because you have to remember that Labour has a 22 billion pound black hole to fuel in order that they can get us to Net Zero very quickly before they can pay out large amounts of money for things that happened two hundred years ago.
I hope that the French and Spanish are also coughing up, actually, no I don't because I don't care about anything that I can't influence and this is certainly in that category!

Known slavery goes back 8000 years and was world wide as well as being common practice. As well as different countries taking slaves different tribes in the same country did so too. Historically virtually everyone is guilty.

Who opened this can of worms?

Can you imagine the response if these Reparation grifters tried pulling this stunt in Trump's America, the best they could hope for would be an impolite two word answer.

North African Arab slave traders, local African tribesmen, Belgians, Germans, French, Portuguese, Dutch, US colonialists were all at it. Lammy needs to grow a pair and tell them to pfhuck right off.
