fox_up_north Posted 31 October 2023 Share Posted 31 October 2023 Fundamentally, I just want to see innocent people able to just crack on with their lives in peace. Most will adapt to wherever they live. Unfortunately, there's lots and lots of people who don't want this to happen. That could be down to greed, ideology or they're just w@nkers. Sadly, I don't see a way that this ends unless you remove those people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain King Posted 31 October 2023 Share Posted 31 October 2023 1 hour ago, MPH said: With regards to Hamza,I think he thought the song was just meaning he wanted Palestinians to be free.verywhere. yes it’s true some people.. a lot of people have used the song to mean more sinister things than just that.. but let’s take the British flag for example.. for me it’s just a flag. I’m proud to be British. I like it. I take one with me on holidays, ect. But for other people it takes on a sinister meaning.. it’ can be held by racists.. those supporting anti immigration policies… its even been waived after racist murders, ect.. Is the flag inherently racist? No it isn’t. And I shouldn’t be stopped from displaying one just because of the racist actions of others. I see it as the same for this song. Why do you take a flag on holiday? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CosbehFox Posted 31 October 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 31 October 2023 Hamza is representative of many. Supportive of a cause at a base level appropriately but doesn't have a clue at the nuance of the whole situation. So you like things which have further meaning that you don't understand. You've got a complex, historical conflict here thrown into a popularist era of buzz phrases and hot takes via social media. Thank f**k social media didn't exist during the troubles. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgtuk Posted 31 October 2023 Share Posted 31 October 2023 4 hours ago, st albans fox said: As I said yesterday - I never had a huge issue with the phrase but it has taken on a more sinister meaning in some circles. There are lots of phrases that do this over time - nuances and situations change somewhat. Those who use it now, knowing that it’s offensive to many, do so deliberately. the link you gave is full of historical context but also opinion masquerading as historical context. I appreciate what you say in your last sentence but opinion is what I’m seeing all over this debate. I chose that link deliberately as it’s from a major American-Jewish publication, not a Hamas statement, not Aljazeera or other Palestinian sympathy group. Unfortunately, the western media are almost exclusively pro Israel so the Palestinian story is seldom held up to the light. Any criticism of the Israeli state is deemed antisemitic and the powers that be have used that to cloud the issue, which then reignites the awful atrocities that Jews have endured for centuries. Anyhow, I’m going back to read the Leeds thread, it’s marginally better for my mental health… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hankey Posted 31 October 2023 Share Posted 31 October 2023 So, Bojo stated Covid was "nature's way" and he "was obsessed with older people accepting their fate and letting the young get on with life". What a despicable individual, no wonder he contracted it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re read what I said - I don't see this, or any conflict, ending until you remove the people that don't want others to just get on with their lives. To reiterate - vast majority of people would be happy to turn up to work, have enough to live on, raise a family and die somewhere between 70-85. Sadly, there are too many people in the world who don't want them to have that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not able to work properly right now for health reasons - surgery on Monday so i just have a lot more time on my hands.

Guesty Posted 31 October 2023 Share Posted 31 October 2023 This Covid inquiry really is something. Cummings seems like the type of person who's an expert at seeing things coming after they've already happened. So infuriating seeing the amount of incompetence and just how shambolic everything was.
