Popular Post Daggers Posted 7 February Popular Post Share Posted 7 February I believe Sunak has managed to carry on digging and come out the other side of Hell with that PMQs. Absolutely vile performance; laughing as he invoked his gender culture war in front of Brianna Ghey’s mother, refusing twice to apologise. An absolute cvnt. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 7 February Share Posted 7 February (edited) 7 minutes ago, st albans fox said: There are various angles on this and the two you mention are also relevant. but Egypt can justify based on the ones I posted about because it will play better in their public opinion I see the much mooted new ceasefire/pause has had a response from Hamas. Unlikely to be accepted by Israel but it’s a start at least and it’s encouraging that there is at least dialogue. Israel will probably respond with some changes and then Hamas will do the same. Hopefully some kind of agreement next week Edited 7 February by MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 7 February Share Posted 7 February I will just add though that as thoroughly evil as I see Netanyahu is, he is under extreme pressure from the far right part of his coalition to NOT make any concessions to Hamas as they have threatened to leave the coalition and force an election should he do so..

Perhaps someone should tell Flick to give her head a wobble, but if she did she'd just end up looking more like their Mum Lynne. She was like a nodding dog taped to the dashboard of a land rover with broken suspension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lionator Posted 7 February Popular Post Share Posted 7 February Hopefully this acts as a tipping point that just because you don't like the idea of a person going against gender norms (and may even have credible reasons to not), that does not make it acceptable to punch down, shame them and use them to feed your own immoral ego. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy G Posted 7 February Share Posted 7 February 17 hours ago, MPH said: Boeing catching a lot of flack for this. Same plane with issues before wasn’t it? they have an order from Emirates for £56bn that might get cancelled! Unlikely, Emirates have a long standing row with Rolls over their engine performance in the middle east conditions, so they won't order a chunky amount of A350s which is clearly the front runner for widebody aircraft. Boeing are falling behind in market share every month vs Airbus, mainly due to their own issues but also Airbus' ability to deliver quality aircraft with the A350 being their widebody jewl. It's more like 65/35 market share favour for Airbus now. ''If it ain't Boeing we're not going'' are gradually falling behind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy G Posted 7 February Share Posted 7 February Just now, MPH said: feel like Boeing are going to have to start putting some Sale tags on their planes if they don’t get these issues ironed out! Somewhat, they have a decent order backlog but aren't producing at a rate that Airbus are on either narrow or widebody. There aren't any planes kicking around to be picked up by leasing companies that would be stupid, they are just slowing production to match what they have an orderbook for.

I do suspect that there will still be some concern within Leicester that he hasn't accurately portrayed what brought this simmering feud to its boiling point. On a different point... I do remember reading that Soulsby blocked several counselors ( 17!) from standing and i didnt know why. i found this quote very interesting too: .he blocked councillors were from different religious backgrounds, but most of them had voted that same year to abolish the elected mayor post, going against Soulsby in a high-stakes vote.

The first scandal with the baby milk was in the 70's so I would imagine they have already had many leadership changes since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
