@mike805 @Lassielmr @freemo he was indeed. Every single freedom fighter in history has been called a terrorist by those they are trying to break away from. Their actions may be abhorrent to us not involved, but when that freedom is eventually achieved and history looks back there is a trail of evidence that it was never once sided. My own maternal grandparents fought for Irish Independence. My father a German Jewish holocaust survivor. Oppression runs deep in my family.

@freemo @mike805 indeed. As it is unsurprising South Africa are leading the world in calling for justice. Israel is an apartheid state and with lack of rights and suppression it was inevitable that tinderbox would alight. Remember Mandela was once considered a terrorist. What Hamas did was deplorable but the response is beyond acceptable.

@freemo @alanferrier whose history?

@Roadwarrior29 @Geri @CloudyMrs bingo. Everything he’s ever touched has been a failure. Saw him on telly last week he was still spewing verbal diarrhoea based on nothing but his self inflated ego.

@JackTheCat @CloudyMrs my money is on Dubai

@FiveSeventeen @CloudyMrs @JackTheCat but they are not part on the ‘in crowd’. They are two folk who have grifted all their lives with a trail of failed businesses behind them. Like two street traders from the Barras that have accumulated wealth and live flashy lives. The ‘elite’ wouldn’t be seen dead with them and will bury them alive.

@CloudyMrs @JackTheCat given the Spanish tax authority is also investigating him I suggest the odds are not in their favour

@CloudyMrs @InkySchwartz @MadeyeTheCarnaptious @Snoweider bingo

@CloudyMrs true

@CloudyMrs @adrianfry I agree. I am in that transition period of giving up. I realised I had only filled up once this year, in Jan. I drive a hybrid and have not used my car for nearly 12 weeks. I decided to see if I could do what I needed to do using public transport and it not only has been easy, but got me exercising more. The car is due a MOT at beginning of the year and after that I’m selling.

@CloudyMrs do councils actually have anyone to enforce this? I think that’s going to be the issue - almost every residential street in Glasgow has cars parked either side and both sides using the pavement to let vehicles through. Drives me nuts.

@HistoPol @dw indeed. There doesn’t appear to be a country immune to this and I believe this is only the tip of the iceberg. In top of vulnerable children, how many postulants or young nuns have been abused? And what will happen? Hee haw.

@therobburgessshow nazi ideology didn’t appear out of thin air. They studied the USA, in particular the Jim Crow era and nationality laws and developed them to meet their own end. Hitler himself, in Mein Kampf described the US as ‘the one state’ that had made progress toward the creation of a healthy racist society. The USA today is not learning from the Nazis as the USA has always been a troubled nation and a hot bed of the far right who just went underground in the mid 60s.
