India v China :drool:



https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/16/india-says-soldiers-killed-on-disputed-himalayan-border-with-china

20 Indian soldiers confirmed dead.... zero shots fired (nobody was carrying guns due to a long-standing agreement).



The hand-to-hand combat lasted hours, on steep, jagged terrain, with iron bars, rocks and fists. Neither side carried guns. Most of the soldiers killed in the worst fighting between India and China in 60 years lost their footing or were knocked from the narrow Himalayan ridge, plunging to their deaths.


Up-to 50 Chinese could be dead.

Yep.



Deforestation is a major threat to the Daintree Rainforest. Trees are getting cut down every single day! Animals and their habitats are getting affected by this condition. They are cutting down trees and opening up roads leading right through the forest, that is a threat to animals being hit by cars. This could lead to the population of animals in Daintree decreasing faster and quicker. Logging is made so that there is room for sugarcane farming, this should not be allowed because we are slowly losing the Daintree Rainforest, why should we increase the possibilities of destroying it? Think of all the work, effort and money that is being wasted on logging and deforestation in the Daintree Rainforest, which could be used into rehabilitating it! This is outrageous and it needs to stop, if you vote for us we get the three million dollars to save the Daintree Rainforest. You can too, help us save the Daintree Rainforest!

Harry Potter is a work of near-genius, with a really tight and engrossing story that - if you read it at a book a year - expands in intrigue and complexity and subjects touched upon as the reader goes through their own childhood (even if the protagonist is bit of a pain in the arse). Not sure I'd read it again now but I have fond memories of doing so the first time round, starting age 10 and finishing at 18 or whatever.

It's not even anti-Semitic anyway. Israeli police have worked with their American counterparts (why wouldn't they?), and their response that the Independent quotes doesn't deny it. The meltier tendencies are either objecting to 'secret service' being a bit hidden hand, but that would be reaching, or the implication that Israeli law enforcement is particularly shithouse. That one might have some legs, but again you're setting yourself up for a fall if you're going to hitch your wagon to them.

Possibly so. But when you have a reputation as a party with an antisemitism problem, anything critical of Israel is just giving ammunition to your 'enemies'.

In this case it's idiotic and unecessary to mention Israel when discussing American Police Officers killing American Citizens.

I always thought Wor Jezza was more of a massive retard than an anti-Semite. You could explain most of his scrapes away with him just being too dense to know what was going on, or that anti-Semitism comes in forms other than 1933-45, but obviously nobody could ever excuse him with that, so they got themselves into all sorts of stupid explanations.

It's difficult because as a state Israel do some pretty heinous shit and it's not antisemitic to say so, but there's some hefty grey ground between saying that and chucking about Nazi salutes so most people just stay schtum.

Lewis

Provided you didn't have previous as an anti-Israeli obsessive, I think you could argue that making the Israeli 'secret service' connection was to allude to American police being unnecessarily militarised.

Love, you didn't get stopped because you are black or you and your husband look like hoodrats (which going off your BBC interview you probably did), you got stopped because you were driving like a cock and then reacting like a cock to it. Let Scotland Yard release the footage and shame them.

She was big manning it about suing them initially, but then the police put their statement out and now 'Somebody’s got to take it further'.

Linford Christie is on shaky ground dismissing the sweet science of racial profiling as well with his massive cock and illegal drug use.

Do feminists read literally every object that is longer/taller than it is wide to be a phallic metaphor? I think they might, you know.

Not sure when something on Twitter last made me laugh that hard. It could be never.

Every other face is brilliant, the awkward disappointment of the boy and the male onlooker, the bored indifference of the girls and the sneering disgust of the other adult who may or may not be a woman.

Is this Johnny Depp libel case getting strangely in-depth media coverage or is it just me? BBC news have been giving play-by-play accounts on a daily basis as if it's OJ Simpson and the world isn't melting around us.

Edit: I fully take that back.

Actors are always more famous than I think they are, half the country (women I never meet) are probably glued to it.

My wife does it to me all the time.

'Have you heard about Glen Glenson?'
Who?
'He's going out with the woman on Stricly Come Stir-fry!'
...........

I don't know if I'm out of touch or she's too in touch but celebrity culture is baffling to me.

Well at least you'll be able to talk to her about Amber Turd.

There is something about Johnny Depp that made is easy to believe that he fills women in, but also easy to believe that it was actually him getting his head henpecked in by a lesbo nobody. I think it was that Rolling Stone profile that did it, making him out to be trying too hard personified, knocking about an empty house with his bum-licking lawyer and a chef. What an absolute whopper.
