  1. The two ethnic Pakistani men who attacked police offers at Manchester airport still haven't been charged.

  2. There's more free speech in Russia than in Britain. And vastly more respect for Christianity.

  3.  @alanmarr3323  Because she has ethnic loyalties other than to the British people. How can that not be obvious?

  4.  @davidsuber8756  Iraq was a war for their benefit in the first place.

  5. You're probably right but would you be surprised if you're wrong? I wouldn't. One thing the recent pandemic has taught us is that when we're told something is safe by pharmaceutical companies, we should run.

  8.  @jimjones-bk2is  Another example of how we can't trust the police anymore.
    16
  9.  @FredScuttle456  That's pretty typical when a country gets occupied. You could say the same for Ukraine or Yugoslavia or Belgium or Netherlands or Norway. The SS recruited divisions from all of them but also in all of them there were partisans fighting the Germans. Just the reality of war.
    13
  10. 40,000+ killed in Gaza because of a few hundred Israelis killed on October 7, a third of whom were killed by their own military and half of whom were military personnel. Think about that before you talk about hypocrisy.
    13
  11. Tens of thousands of French civilians especially in the north were killed by Allied, mainly British bombing in 1944.

  12.  @incurableromantic4006  So did the ancestors of the modern Palestinians.

  13. Guy I know who got bombed in Port Glasgow as an eight year old in 1941 is saying the same.

  14. Cool. so how do you explain the Israeli discussions about expelling the population of Gaza and taking over the land? How do you explain the hundreds killed in the West Bank over the past year even though Hamas is not there? And why are you shilling for this foreign country which regards the rest of us with contempt?

  15.  @simonh6371  Part of the reason is the US likes it that way.

  16. In all seriousness, the best outcome by far would have been to stay out of it. The Germans would have fought the Soviet Union and they would have exhausted each other. A lot of the reason Britain fought Germany was the fear that Hitler wanted the colonies lost at Versailles back. But without a huge navy which he didn't have, he had no means of getting them. We lost our empire anyway so it wouldn't have mattered if we'd given him some bits of Africa.

  17. You do know that the British fleet attacked the French fleet and killed thousands soon after the Vichy surrender right?
    6
  18. You could turn the same argument on Israel.
    6
  19.  @alanmarr3323  Why do you believe Navalny was murdered? There's literally zero evidence. Obviously Siberian prisons are very tough, unhealthy places where your life expectancy can expect to be shortened but that's not the same as murder. Then again, what about Peter Lynch?
    6
  20. He has a long way to go
    6
  21.  @demonshelby1311  Collective punishment against a civilian population for the actions of political leaders is a war crime. Also, you can only argue Hamas "started it" if you start your history in 2023. Obviously there are grievances on both sides going back to 1947.
    6
  22.  @silversurfer640  When the Germans attacked the Soviet Union in 1941, there's pretty strong evidence the Soviet army was deployed to attack Germany, part of the reason for the high Soviet losses in the first month. e.g. European gauge tracks laid, large supply dumps close to the front line, forward airbases full of aircraft. A defensive deployment would have been quite different. From the archives the Soviet thinking in 1939 was that the West and the Germans would exhaust each other in prolongued First World War style attrition.

  23.  @demonshelby1311  Yeah anyone who goes back thousands of years to justify genocide in the modern world deserves contempt.

  24.  @jonathansimmons5353  That's ridiculous. You can learn a language in a few weeks if you're in total immersion. Two years is enough to learn a language to a very high level if you're studying it in addition to merely speaking it. But twenty years living somewhere might not be enough if you speak to eveyrone in Englisha and you make no effort. Look at how the Jehovah Witnesses train young Americans for their prosoletysing in different countries: intense immersion but quite short. Even for hard languages for an English speaker like Korean.

  25. We didn't drag the French into war in 1939. Most of the French cabinet (except Georges Bonnet) wanted the war as much as the British cabinet. Obviously they wanted the Poles to do the fighting rather than to do it themselves but they had the opportunity to tell the Poles they planned to keep out of it in the days before the war started just as Mussolini told Hitler he planned to keep Italy out. The French had a military commitment to launch a major attack on Germany by day 15 of the war - which they obviously didn't do. No country (including the USA) comes out of this without blame.

  26. @ Yeah Russian prisons are brutal for sure but that's a separate issue. I'm specifically talking about freedom of speech.

  27. Ceaucescu

  28.  @demonshelby1311  Just because mass killings of civilians and other atrocities happen in war doesn't make it excusable. In the case of Gaza, much of this is quite deliberate. There is a vast amount of footage of unnecessary targeting of civilians and also, there is footage of IDF personnel admitting to committing atrocities. If this scale of atrocities were happening in Ukraine (a much, much larger war), there'd be outrage and the media would be full of it.

  29. The AI system was rejecting 90% of claims which forced people to appeal to get the money they're entitled to. This CEO's greed destroyed countless lives.

  31. @ No it's not, it's censored so people like you only ever get one side of the story. In reality BOTH sides tell outrageous lies and spread propaganda but this site in particular censors on behalf of one side. Even so there are plenty of places you can look even on YT to find the other side of the story. If you want to understand what's really happening you have to seek out both sides and compare them. On this topic you'll find there's plenty of substance to the complaints of the other side.

  32. Delusional. Israel is attacking neighbours without provocation to drag in America to fight Iran. Israelis occupying Syrian territory by force, something we criticise Russia for in Ukraine. And it has murdered tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaza.

  33. Yes they are, it's just that we've already lost most of both in Britain.

  37.  @allthatjazz-7  Not free speech in Russia, just freer speech than in Britain

  38.  @abigailkannai484  Israel didn't even allow Gaza to have a seaport and open access to world trade. Hardly an independent country.
    3
  39.  @harry130747  What you're claiming is not only irrelevant but also illogical. Do you think the Palestinian people just sprouted from the ground? Obviously their ancestors also existed 4000 years ago. A hundred years ago they were a large majority of the people in modern Israel. Jews were there too but they were a minority. The Palestinians were expelled by terror. Read Israeli historians like Benny Morris and Ilan Pappe.
    3
  40.  @demonshelby1311  I agree with you on Ukraine too. The problem is, it's too late. There's no going back now, the war will just have to be fought out.
    3
  41.  @candy-le4nh  The point is, the French did nothing. Maurice Gamelin had a commitment to the Poles to launch an invasion of Germany with the majority of his forces on day 15 of a war. He obviously lied, hoping the Poles would take the brunt of the German effort and wear the Germans down. Obviously things didn't work out like that, the Germans were stronger and the Poles were weaker than anyone (Poles, French or German) expected - but that was the plan. Also the Poles expected heavy bombing of the Ruhr from the start of the war. Instead the RAF and the pretty large French airforce dropped a few propaganda leaflets.
    3
  42.  @simonmilligan7497  We could have just stayed out of it. In the days before the war, Britain wrote a blank cheque for Poland much like Germany did for Austria-Hungary in 1914. As a result the Poles wouldn't negotiate at all with the Germans even when they knew the Germans had a non agression pact with the Soviet Union obivously aimed at Poland. In fact, Britain actually sabotated any Polish/German negotiations (see Schulze-Rhonof the War with Many Fathers). Britain had good reasons for this of course but it wasn't the only option and in retrospect wasn't the best option.
    3
  43. SOME people are obviously well food but likewise, there's plenty of footage of genuine starvation from Gaza too even though Israel has killed a couple of hundred journalists, deliberately wiped out internet connectivity and most Western social media censors footage. Obviously it can be true that some people can be starving while other people are well fed in fact there's probably never been a famine where this did not happen.

  44.  @shaunpatrick8345  Yeah shadow banning on YT is ridiculous especially on this topic, I should not even bother commenting
    2
  45. ​ @wblake-j4g  This logic is embarrassing. That country is far from a civilised democracy and just because people vaguely related to the Palestinians are causing problems over here doesn't excuse them being subject to mass murder, torture and expropriation over there.
    2
  46. I'm Scottish and speak French (badly) from what I experienced, people were really friendly in the north (Normandy, Brittany and Picardly), more hostile around Nice and in Paris. I wasn't long in the far east (the annexed Germany bits) but people there seemed pretty friendly too. Might depend a lot where you are.
    2
  47.  @crowbar_the_skull  So it's obvious the system is not working in the interests of normal people. The Middle Class is getting crushed. Do you really want a society like the Roman Empire where there are a few plutocrats and millions of slaves?
    2
  48. Unlikely because Israel has left not a single functioning hospital in Gaza.
    2
  49.  @simongarthwaite7695  Sure but it was obvious to everyone good relations between Germany and the Soviet Union were temporary. Even if they never gone to war, they were balancing each other. As in forcing each other to keep large forces dedicated to defending against an attack by the other. This would have held German expansion in check without the necessity for Britain to go to war.
    2
  50.  @careytitan9097  Both sides have released criminals from prison to fight at the front. Actually Britain did that in the First World War (not sure about the Second) and America did that in Vietnam.

  51.  @vincekerrigan8300  The point is it explains why a lot of French people aren't going to thank Britain for kicking the Germans out.

  54. Pakistan would keep out of it but it wouldn't be surprising if Iran suddenly acquired nuclear tipped Kinzhals and Iskandars overnight.

  55. Yet on any issue to do with Israel's interests, our political leadership, security services and most of the media agree they support Israel.

  56.  @frankielov  The war between Israelis and Palestinians didn't start on 7th October.
    2
  57. What should have happened instead? Millions of Jews arriving in Palestine was a disaster for the Palestinians. Britain had obligations to them too.
    2
  58.  @simonh6371  Aye maybe - hard to say what the world would have looked like if Germany had just defeated France, Belgium and Russia. With German air and naval bases just across the Channel. I don't think there were easy options. Anyway, too late now!

  62.  @forthfarean  The Israelis literally committed genocide in Palestine. Blaming the victims is outrageous

  63. Long term, Israel can't win. They haven't defeated Hamas in a year now they've taken on the much more powerful Hezbollah. Their treatment of Palestinians has antagonised the entire Muslim world and much of the rest of the world too. Their economy is held up only by American aid and most of the smarter people are leaving. Doesn't look good long term. America is obviously declining as a global hegemon and without US backing Israel is badly outnumbered. Long term too, they'll lose their stranglehold over US politicians.

  64. Zero chance the Russians would agree to this, they're quite willing to fight NATO now.
    1
  65. Israel has actually executed and tortured tens of thousands of Palestinians over the past decades, often on trivial pretexts.
    1
  66. It's worse than disingenuous, it's an outright lie. Israel was built on expelling the existing population from the territory which now makes up the country. Only someone who knows nothing about it could think otherwise.
    1
  67.  @HistoryDebunkedsimonwebb  You should really look into these wars you accuse Russia of. The narrative that Russia attacked Georgia for example is completely wrong. The war started when Georgia attacked Russian peacekeepers. Putin was taken completely by surprise. Only takes a couple of hours to look into.
    1
  68. No because the Palestinians have a higher birth-rate, the Zionists in America are gradually losing credibility and the most productive people in Israel have packed up and left in large numbers. Israel has made an enemy of all of its neighbours in a tough neighbourhood. Its future looks pretty bleak. All it takes is for a future US government to say ok we're sick of this country dragging us into wars, sick of its brutality and land grabs and its neighbours will have many decades of scores to pay back.
    1
  69.  @Bobby-LeeChanning  Yes, without provocation. Hamas started a war with Israel so Israel turns around and attacks Syria, Hezbollah and Iran.

  70. People in Britain often have an unrealistic understanding of Indians because the Indians in Britain tend to be from the intellectual elite. As for the over a billion of them in India, the average IQ is about 85 which is about a standard deviation lower than in Britain.

  71.  @formica.  Pretty much every country except China, North Korea and Ukraine have elections, doesn't mean they're actually democracies. Watch what you say or the police will take you away - that applies to Britain and Germany and Canada.
    1
  72.  @felicitysparrowhawk  The mainly territorial 51st Highland division wasn't taken off at Dunkirk, they fought until destroyed further south. There was massive resentment in Scotland about it because Churchill sacrificed them to try to convince the French to stay in the war.
    1
  73.  @jonathansimmons5353  That's ridiculous and I can prove it. Intelligence agencies train operatives to be good enough to impersonate a native speaker in a foreign language through study, immersion and tutoring. It might take as long as a year but you're claiming five years. You're massively overestimating how long it takes at least some people to learn a language. I speak French and have dabbled in Italian and Spanish. I went on holiday to Portugal without speaking any Portuguese but over a week I read Teach Yourself Portuguese and by the end of the week I could have a pretty decent conversation with people. That's not even immersion, that's just pretty casual. Likewise I picked up Afrikaans over a month to the point where I could have a decent conversation, my starting point was Dutch. If you're actually getting lessons you can make rapid progress. If you're getting 8 hours per day immersion you're going to learn in no time if you're of at least average intelligence. Yes a lot will depend on the language. Learning Russian is harder than Portuguese and Chinese is going to much harder still.
    1
  74.  @28pbtkh23  Yeah that's how it looks from the British point of view. If you were French, you'd see it differently., You'd find such an ultimatum from your so called ally outrageous and you'd know that if you just handed your fleet over, the Germans would take reprisals on the remaining parts of France.
    1
  75. @ The Israeli population is behind the war. By the OP's logic (not mine) that makes the Israeli population responsible for each woman, child and non combatant man killed in Gaza, for every civilian building destroyed and for the starvation and lack of medical care there. In fact the same argument has been made by both sides in most major wars.

  76. Yep Simon is decades behind on the science on this. Upbringing makes much less difference than people assume.

  81.  @011258stooie  Roosevelt and his ambassadors got leaked the secret clause of the Ribbentrop/Molotov Pact and deliberately didn't tell Poland - the only explanation can be Roosevelt wanted to prevent the Poles from backing down i.e. he wanted to bait Germany into a war.
    1
  82. Why? So Israel can just steal more land? The people who live in Gaza now for the most part are the descendants of people the Zionists expelled from their ancestral homes in the 40s through to the 60s. Why do you make excuses for ethnic cleansing by the Israeli state>?

  84.  @bernardedwards8461  I was in the infantry too but never at war so I don't mean to criticise your record and certainly don't question your patriotism but the fact is, the last war Britain fought for British interests was the Falklands War. Everything since has been to lick American boots and the American foreign policy is run on behalf of Israel anyway,

  89. It's not Iran who is picking a fight here, it's Israel. Look at the evidence. Attacked Iranian consulate in Syria, assassinations in Tehran - that's what kicked all this off. I'm not defending Iran, it's just everything Iran has done here has been a response if you look past the propaganda.

  90. Russian soldiers tend to me much younger and the pace of territorial captures has sped up a lot. The Russians have taken more land in the last two months than they did all of last year. As the Ukrainian army weakens, we'll get back to manoeuvre warfare.

  91.  @careytitan9097  Not Russia, Kiev. Since Russia mobilised over a year ago they've been growing their army with volunteers only.

  98. It's not just him, it's millions of people in Britain. The logic is we don't like these kind of people in our country (for good reasons BTW) so we're going to give a free pass to Israel to do their worst over there even if that involves mass murder, deliberately killing journalists and medical staff, torture and seizing huge amounts of land. It does seem pretty dim
    1
  99.  @gijgij4541  No it's actually true but you'd never know from our media. You're statistically almost ten times more likely to be arrested in Britain for speech/media post related "crimes" than in Russia. And even though the Russian state has generally good relations with its Muslim population the state is explicitly pro-Christian.
    1
  100.  @user-xd9yo3le7o  Yeah they're at war what do you expect? What do you think is going to happen to you if you went waving a Russian flag around in Britain? You obviously have no idea what's been happening in Britain. People have had more than a year prison just for attending a demonstration -not attacking the police, not for throwing stones, just being there. On woman got 18 months for just saying there'd be trouble if the Southport murderer turned out to be Muslim. Not inciting violence just saying that there would be violence.

  101.  @djscoah8037  No, the majority of British people are pretty craven if we're honest. Look at how there's no opposition to mass immigration and how people were banging pots for the NHS and calling to be locked down harder.

  108.  @FredScuttle456  I regard people like him as much worse. The Vichy police were trying to protect traditional French society from the left. France before 1939 had similar but milder problems to Spain, there was poltiical violence and extremism. Modern British police are the left.

  111.  @demonshelby1311  I totally agree with that. What really object to is the hypocrisy. So much of the Western media the Western political elite (especially in America but in Britain too) is giving Israel a free pass for the kind of behaviour nobody else would get away with. Personally I'm politically to the right and I find it outrageous commentators I agree with on most issues spout such ignorant (or disingenuous) nonsense about what's happening in the West Bank and Gaza which is objectively worse than anything Serbia did in Kosovo or Russia did in Donbas or even anything the old regime in South Africa did.
    1
  112.  @rewdwarf123  Impossible to know exact numbers but from the identities of those known to be killed, almost half of the Gazans killed are female. Almost half are children. Does that sound like accidental collateral damage to you? The Israelis themselves admit they'll destroy an entire apartment block full of people if they expect they're going to kill an enemy commander. We know for a fact they have targeted areas where refugees were ordered to move to. The IDF just doesn't care because they know Western media and Western politicians will make excuses for them no matter what happens.

  120. I doubt that's the real reason. It's more just geopolitics. The Common Market was a joint project dominated by France and Germany by which Germany subsidised France. Once Britain joined, French influence was heavily diluted. De Gaulle also saw Britain as too closely aligned with the Americans - one of biggested economic and financial rivals of France.

  126.  @forthfarean  That's irrelevant. You would never argue the 1940s Germans never committed genocide just because their target populations were later able to replenish their numbers would you? Look up the UN definition of genocide. The Israelis have committed massacres at various times. Read Benny Morris and Ilan Pappe, both Israeli historians. The fact is in this conflict, there are murderous genocidal people on both sides so be very careful before you take a side at all.
