More on the ComRes poll:

[Link]

Tory lead is 12%. Interesting to see UKIP holding firm at 13%, despite all the vilification in the press.

The part I find fascinating is the approval ratings of politicians and whether the public actually know who they are.

Cameron is a decent man?! Was he decent when Israel was bombing the s*** out of Gaza's children, and he refused to condem it? Is he decent for slicing up the NHS? Is he decent for taking benefits away from the desperate people that need them? I see no compassion or human decency in him whatsoever.

Laugh at me all you like, but I can see Corbyn riding this ridiculous wave of filth in the press and becoming the next Prime Minister, despite what all the supposed experts say.

Why would he condemn a retaliatory strike by Israel?... all the Palestinians had to do was stop firing rockets at Israel to avoid their children dying... they weren't specifically not targeting children in Israel were they?


You talk like the fight between the Palestinians and Israel was/is an equal, two-sided affair. Israel has the military capabilities of the West behind it and is chocking the people of Gaza into submission. It's prolonged ethnic cleansing.


Edited by jcreedy (18 Sep 2015 11.08am)


And children continue to die in Gaza at the moment due to the blockade Israel is placing Palestine under, preventing vital medical and humanitarian aid reaching those in need. Bombing is merely the most visible way in which the Israelis are persecuting their neighbours.


The blockade is there to prevent the Palestinians getting their hands on more rockets or worse.. more powerful weapons.

All they have to do is sign up to a peaceful settlement and the blockade will be lifted.


That doesn't explain away similar actions by the Israeli Government towards the Palestinian people in The West Bank though. Nor the hundreds of other state crimes committed before Hamas even existed. Collectively punishing a people for the deeds of a minority is always done by sh1theads.


Oh I get it.... the Palestinians are entirely blameless for this whole affair, like the Scousers at Hillsborough.

Sorry? In what way are the "scousers" guilty


You had to be there..........

We've done that topic to death.


I am not reopening Hillsborough I am sure it was done to death, I want you to tell me why the "scousers are guilty"

And we don't have "had to be there" because we know two things

1. The stadium didn't have a safety certificate and
2. The policeman in charge on the day said he wasn't up to the job and hadn't been briefed. It was him that opened the gates at the lepping lane end

So again why are you having a pop at the families of the bereaved who are entirely innocent.


I am guessing you are not following the inquiry


As usual over-reaction.... You know I wasn't having a go at the families or the victims. I said the Scousers weren't entirely blameless, you said guilty.

Despite what the latest inquiry says, a lot of Scousers turned up without tickets and a lot of them climbed in. They were also drunk too... one local publican testified as such.Palestinians have a part to play in Gaza.

I'm not going over this again - you can "call me out" all you like.


You had a perfectly fair point to make that some people take the attitude that Palestine can do no wrong (the same is true of Israels support but they are a country surrounded by people who don't just want to defeat them but wipe them off the face of the earth. However making that point wasn't enough you had to make the entirely irrelevant link to Hillsborough.

To say they are not "blameless" is to say they are in part to blame. I rather think the family of the victims would feel victimized by what you said.

If you turn up to a game without a ticket why do you get into the stadium? Because the Policeman in charge opened the gates. Similarly it is interesting to note that the people selling the alcohol to drunks are being used as a source of information. This is irrelevant. doubtless the same is true at Selhurst Park every other stadium. So what? On its own it has no impact on the number of people died but smacks of the way the police tried to monster the victims straight after the event. Briefing papers with lies that the Liverpool fans were robbing the dead bodies and other s***. Also more significant was the fact that the stadium had no safety certificate

Maybe I am over-reacting ..but that could have been any one of us that day.


A few things to consider about Hillsborough....

There is video evidence of Scousers climbing walls and turnstiles to get in before the gates were open. Why go to a match without a valid ticket?
The gates were eventually opened to relieve the disorder in the narrow lanes outside the ground which was being fuelled by those who had left it very late to get in to the ground because they had been in the pub getting bladdered and also those without tickets.
Publicans are as much a lawful citizen as you or I and entitled to give information about what they saw that day.

We all know that it has taken decades to get more of the truth that day, but I believe it would give this latest inquiry more credence if it acknowledged that the behaviour of some of the Liverpool fans had a bearing on the outcome. Yes the stadium was badly designed, yes the police were badly briefed and led by Duckenfield, yes the FA should have delayed KO, etc etc., but without the disorder/chaos caused by their own fans the 96 would be alive today.

I believe that linking Hillsborough to Gaza was valid... two situations where most people wrongly absolve the participants of any blame when common sense dictates that they must have played some part in their own downfall.

Err, you wrote that.


No hoof wrote that making a tenuous link to Palestinians being "Guilty", read the thred. I am calling him out on it. That could have been Palace in the Semi Final


I've only just seen this....

Stuk was right.

I did not say the Scousers were guilty, you said that.

It seems to be that at that point it was you that needed to "read the thread".

I hope you apologise to Stuk.

Come on nick... you know as well as I do that the Israel/Palestine conflict isn't that simple. Being flippant with half truths doesn't help.

There have been attacks on Israel ever since it was formed and a full scale war in 1967.
If you weigh it all up I still believe that Israel is the injured party despite them taking liberties with Palestinian "land" (which to me hardly looks worth fighting over).

Both sides need a mediator but how do you mediate when the Arabs have vowed never to accept Israel which has a UN sanction for its existence?

Looks like Palestine had better change its views and get round the table and sort it out, but I cannot really see it happening with Hamas being in the position they are and the continued bombing. Israel has the right to protect its people no matter what way we all look at it.

 


Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

Historically, the Israelis have no business being in the so called promised land. The whole premise is based on a questionable Biblical story written by Jews.

They have systematically stolen land from the Palestinians since the end of WW2. We must all take responsibility for this being allowed to happen.

It is ironic that the Israelis repaid us for our compliance by bombing British citizens in Israel because we wanted to restrict numbers arriving. Perhaps a lesson for the present.

The flip side is that Palestine is aligned with Islamic terrorists. Not a good position if you want help from the West. particularly the U.S who has a strong Jewish lobby.

Lesson over.

What is apparent this week is that the press are s*** scared of a labour revival under Corbyn.

They need to be careful not to use all of their slurs too quickly or they will run out .

I'm no staunch Tory (in fact last time out I voted against them), but I genuinely have yet to meet a Tory (and I know many) who is the least bit frightened of Corbyn's leadership. Why you believe it may frighten the press is beyond me.

If they weren't worried, they wouldn't be doing such a hatchet job on him.

So do you believe they were worried by Farage?

I do. Lets face it, 75% of the media (at least) are tory.
