Fuck all there man!

Thats more of a fuckin prison sentence rather than a loan deal…..6 months on remand in Durham is probably more fun

I can’t see it but is it high force?

Do you mean among the public or politicians? …. not sure there was massive support among punters per se, but most people accepted that taking out Bin Laden was as inevitable as it was necessary. Think it’s bizarre to claim otherwise. What were the options?

Don't think it will matter too much mate

Also Luke Edwards....

Luke Edwards with THE FACTS

I'm aware of where the 9/11 bombers & bin laden were from, I'm also aware of how Saudi Wahabbism informed their beliefs. Jihadists still exist under different or no names. Al Qaeda as a functioning group don't. With hindsight it wasn't worth the 20 year occupation but I'm unsure what other choice the US had in 2001 though. If you're suggesting the US should've targeted the Saudi state then I expect your carer will be in soon...

Largely yes. Isis was something different, it was largely Saddam’s B’ath party Generals and militant Sunni militias who’d all been banged up together by the US..

Nobody mentioned Iraq but yeah that was bollocks. Afghanistan wasn’t…..but mission creep, the needs of industrial/military complex, failure to truly understand the tribal nature of the country and how democracy is virtually impossible in such a society, the duality of Pakistan and the abysmally chaotic exit all added to the the utter futility of the 20 year campaign. Going in was in 2001 was required, appropriate and justified though. Pity they didn’t find Bin Laden at that point. Things could’ve been very different if they had…

Al Qaeada were being hosted by the Taliban in Aghanistan. If you'd had any military experience you'd understand this

I'm not aware that I'm blocked by anyone important tbh

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/aug/25/blame-afghanistan-war-media-intervention?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other there’s no mention of 9/11 in this piece which appears to me to be Monbiot just screeching “LOOK AT ME, I WAS RIGHT AND THE REST OF YOU ARE WANKERS!!” I tweeted him these precise words and he promptly blocked me

Lee Scratch Perry, 85… https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/aug/29/lee-scratch-perry-visionary-master-of-reggae-dies-aged-85?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Just been watching MOTD and the London stadium looked packed to the gunnels full of glory seeking cockneys who’s issues with the err “new” ground seem to have miraculously disappeared during lockdown/ because they’ve won 2 from 3…thought I’d look up what sort of crowd they got and can’t find a result service that will tell me…not bbc, sky or daily mail anyway… is this now a thing? I’d appreciate a link to a site that gives attendances if anyone knows of one? cheers

You mean the sixth string? No need to patronise us. We do have feelings you know

Some fucker walked just behind myself amd my entire family as we were going into the kirk at my father's funeral. It was literally like a long lost son had appeared from fuckin nowhere... I resisted the temptation to front up to the cunt before the minister kicked off just as word came through from my brother that it was his mate Simon from Edinburgh who I'd actually met myself at least twice before (in my defence I think I was pissed a couple of times) in the preceeding three decades or so...and the fucker had shades on ...

Well go on then Hendrix, wtf does that mean?

13 dead, US servicemen injured 😓

I usually sit on either hand for 10 mins before till it goes numb so it feels like someone else is doing it anyway

Am all over this shit, am very much a pro vaxxer... interesting choice though...
