Re: Good News for Israel

Hudswell, I agree that PIRA were loosing support for the numerous atrocities they carried out, we can be thankful for that. Like you, two of my brothers also carried out numerous tours in NI & lost comrades in the process....so you should understand better than most, at what cost peace. I person...

Re: Good News for Israel

Amos, you have misconstrued my meaning, I mentioned NI as an analogy about conflict, it is irrelevant how it starts, the important thing is how it ends. You asked if we would engage with terrorists to end hostilities, clearly we did, it worked. Perhaps Israel & America could learn something from...

Re: Good News for Israel

I’m sorry Amos, whilst I can understand your predicament, ( I was born in Belfast ), I agree with Dominic on this one, it can only be a setback for any peace negotiations to start. The 7 Pacific countries that voted for the US, are reliant on American funding / security, Guatemala purchases it’s arm...

Re: Best Xmas advert

Yes Stelios, I agree, a great Christmas advert, very poignant, I seem to remember that it caused an outcry from some quarters at the time, for reasons I will never understand. :?

The futility of war eh?.

Thanks for posting MM, interesting reading.

Re: Is this the quote of the year?

There are many vocations that use ‘black humour’ in order to alleviate traumatic experiences, that said, it is generally done amongst the group involved. Gove is a Government Minister, & should behave, always, in a manner befitting the office he represents, his comments spoken live on the Today ...

Re: Is the tide finally turning?

The Government have, so far, been a shambolic embarrassment, a laughing stock, consisting of self serving individuals who seem...
