Balan, it doesn't surprise me at all, however, I buck this trend because I waken up in the morning and I am always happy. The day that I don't waken up in the morning ---it won't be my problem!

I am very happy tonight Balan, just had a very nice bottle of Israeli red wine, Segal Levant, from the Argaman grape, not one I've heard of before. Says it's a single vineyard wine from the Judean foothills, a real bargain at less than twelve quid. I've got a white from the same vineyard, I'll be trying that soon.

Buying goods from Occupied Palestinian Territories is horrible, international law requires all countries to ban goods and services from illegal Israeli settlements. Any chance this wine might choke you?

I am surprised we are as high as 23rd Balan. Everyone I talk to these days thinks the country is a freaking mess.

We have a government that is deliberately targeting the weakest and most vulnerable in our society. Starmer is playing right out of the Cameron and Trump playbook.

You are not wrong Sir Outwood.

Which bit of detention and expulsion without trial and cutting disability allowances are you fond of ballcock?

I have no interest in what you call 'international law', I won't be told what to do by some arsewipe, lefty, activist judges in Strasbourg or wherever, I'll make my own mind up whose goods and services I buy, and I quite deliberately seek out Israeli products whenever and wherever I can, especially Israeli Medjool dates, the best in the world and happily readily available in UK supermarkets.

This afternoon, on my way home from my regular Flat White and Croissant in Holmes Mill, I'll be nipping into Byrnes to see what else they have available from Israel. They're usually stacked right next to the Lebanese wines, I'll have a couple of those, they are excellent as well.

I gave up on any notion that you are a moral man a long time ago sinkov.
