Massive projection here.Have you ever posted anything but a one sided view.That is clearly nonsense and a one sided viewNetanyahu is scum, but comparing him to Hitler is the mark of an unhinged mind.Or a lateral thinker
You can't classify evil
Evil is evil
Genocide is genocide
Netanyahu right now is as great a threat to the world as Hitler ever was.
Bullies don't like it up em.
Bigots don't like being challenged.
The right never can answer intellectually like the left.
Arrogance is not knowledge.

What is the PB consensus on King Charles visiting the Mad king?Charles should become "seriously ill" and send Andrew in his place.
Apparently if it is cancelled Trump will go ballistic (no change there then)
Should he cancel, or should he go, and do a Love Actually moment on US soil?
EDIT: we have the same idea!
Re: Smoking kills Reform’s chances? – politicalbetting.com
The utter hypocrisy of our ruling class laid bare once again:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0w1jydgdko
"An SNP spokesperson said: "We hope today's verdict brings some justice to those who have bravely come forward and shared their experiences. Their courage in speaking out cannot be overstated. As proceedings remain ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.""
During the trial the court heard this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg4l9m944po
"He told prosecutor Alistair McDermid that he went to police in 2023 to report Linden's conduct because he "did not feel confident" that internal reports he had made within the party from 2022 onwards would be dealt with appropriately.
He said: "Everywhere I went for help in the SNP I was ignored or it was downplayed.""
Today the ST also has a story that charities have received £6bn from the Scottish government conditional on their support (and lack of criticism) for government policy. In many cases nearly 90% of these charities funding comes from public funds.
Scotland has not replicated rules in England which prevent charities spending public money on lobbying. And they have not adopted the rules about not punishing anyone which does not support government policy either.

OT- I’m more interested in building conservation than religion, but walking past the restored Notre-Dame this Palm Sunday and hearing the carillon ring out brought a lump to my throat.

Re: Smoking kills Reform’s chances? – politicalbetting.com
I suspect that with a different candidate Reform may have done better - at least to the extent that the Reform wasn't less than half the Green + Labour vote.I cant put my finger on why exsctly Farage avoided campaigning for this guy until the 59th minute of the 11th hourGoodwin doubling down on his race baiting dishonesty.He claims that everything was peer reviewed and then when asked who peer reviewed it goes - you don't know them they went to another school.
In more than 2,000 schools in England today a majority of children no longer speak English as their main language. My critics might not think that tells us something important about what is happening to our country. But I do. And I will not change my view

Re: Smoking kills Reform’s chances? – politicalbetting.com
What is the purpose of the Tories if they are not completely separate from Reform...To pragmatists Badenoch has one role, and one role only, which is to draw votes away from Farage, who is even more dire. If she doesn't do this, or worse again, goes into bed with Reform, there's no point to her.The serious point about this is the question of which way the non-populist advocates of pragmatism are going to go at the next election.Waitrose Wall is very good!In the posh seats (the Waitrose wall) they are getting their arses kicked by the LibDems.Doing a bit of a further look at the Sky news RefCon battle, Reform clearly ahead in the places youd expect the Tories to do badly - South Yorks industrial, Merseyside, central belt Scotland, inner London, Valleys, the NE. Its not that surprising given the polls. I think the Tories would 'bank' this as a launchpad for the longer term as it were.The Conservatives’ cratering in Red Walll/working class seats, but holding firm in posher/rural seats might be what saves them.
Just for fun - Jenrick and Kruger gone, Braverman and Rosindell toss ups.
They are being hit from both sides.
Both the historic main parties are subject to an impossible to deal with pincer movement - there is a popular party on their extreme side and quietly successfully Lib Dems in the middle.

What is the PB consensus on King Charles visiting the Mad king?I think an uncontroversial reason for postponement should be found .
Apparently if it is cancelled Trump will go ballistic (no change there then)
Should he cancel, or should he go, and do a Love Actually moment on US soil?
