If the latter, can't blame that as apparently there are no charging stations in that terminal. Charging cars are obvs a bigger risk but the likelihood of an ev vehicle battery spontaneously combusting is way higher than a petrol/diesel car catching fire sitting idle. And putting an ev battery fire out is apparently a much larger task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellend Sebastian Posted 11 October 2023 Share Posted 11 October 2023 Preemptive maybe? I didn't see anything getting out of hand when I last looked at it. The levels of toxicity and crazy misinformation where it's being debated elsewhere might have caused concerns that it was a matter of time before it went pear-shaped and leave an actual mess to sort out. If that's the case it's a shame but I can sort of understand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case it's a shame but I can sort of understand it I mean I do understand it I just think it's a shame and too quick. One discussion was maybe a bit close to going over the top but they'd discontinued it. I think this is a great place to be able to speak to people with diverse perspectives but who have something in common which means most conversations are respectful. Bit frustrating 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionator Posted 11 October 2023 Share Posted 11 October 2023 Yep agree with all above. There was a general concensus of Hamas bad, Israeli government bad, and massive sympathy with civilians on both sides. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's disappointing, there didn't seem anything hostile or contentious, and I was certainly finding it informative. I'm off to the Middle East in 3 weeks and was gleaning useful information to pass on to my fellow travellers who have gone into panic mode. We are scheduled for Alexandria, Egypt, Suez Canal more Egypt, Jordan and Oman. Yesterday some believed the trip would be cancelled as the whole Middle East was at war and the Suez Canal would be closed. I was able to provide background and context, all info obtained from the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jattdogg Posted 11 October 2023 Share Posted 11 October 2023 Likely was going to eventually turn into a shite show so did the usual. I dont own the forum so if needed we can find another one to discuss this specifically with people in different countries who arent necessarily football fans. That could get hairy quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarmy Posted 11 October 2023 Share Posted 11 October 2023 International skeptics (used to be James Randi educational foundation) forums are good for such discussions - however they can be pretty full on. Shame we can’t discuss here though - I keep out of things I don’t know much about but was finding the thread enlightening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovril Posted 11 October 2023 Share Posted 11 October 2023 To be fair last time I checked that thread someone was questioning someone else's true intentions who then responded by calling the poster a dick or something along those lines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyblueeyes Posted 11 October 2023 Share Posted 11 October 2023 If ever there wasn’t a thread to delete it was the Israel Palestine one. The odd argument. Nothing ridiculous. Fact checking. History. Debates. It was ok. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exposure of batteries to the fire and them subsequently setting on fire making it worse and harder to fight. And tbh, having been in that car park a couple of times in recent months - there are a fair few EVs usually (probably many of them company cars of people on business for a couple of days). But ofc in this situation the EVs were fine if it hadn’t been for a diesel car. So the agenda driven analysis of some folk this morning means applying the logic we must now advocate for a ban on diesel ICE pretty sharpish, surely?

You're assuming that those who advocate for continued use of ICE cars for any length of time are in any way logical. That may be a mistake.

I mean given in the same interview he was suggesting countries have the right to violate the Geneva convention, and he's already abandoned every pledge he made in the leadership election without facing a general election, hard to say he has either of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hejammy Posted 11 October 2023 Share Posted 11 October 2023 Perhaps they closed it as there was actual debates for both sides - not just as the media portrays it, mayyybee the MODS really just wanted to be inline with Western Media and not allow people to actually recognise what is going on.....just maybeee.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, ok. Honestly couldn't give a flying fvck about how many pledges he breaks to self-important Labour members (and I say that as one of them) as long as he gets in with a whacking great majority and starts changing the lives of the poor folk across this country who desperately need their help. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
