  1. Think I'd like to see Roofe come on. Could be his type of game. Remember that goal in Belgium when the conditions were similar?
  2. Not just in Scotland; a college lecturer was dismissed in England for refusing to refer to a boy who wanted to change his sex as 'she'. Further, he counselled the student against having an operation he might later regret. For this he was tried for 'misgenderism.' He had given a lifetime of service to education.
  3. If your definition of genocide is that every single member of a race has been made extinct, then the only example I can think of is that of the Tasmanian aborigine; I can even name the last survivor - Truganini.
  4. And this...? https://www.npr.org/2024/01/26/1227078791/icj-israel-genocide-gaza-palestinians-south-africa
  5. I suppose I mean the 1% who control 80% of the world's wealth - you know that word you don't like me to use...
  6. You're becoming as bad as Mr Syntax; asking questions to which you know the answer. But truthfully, I don't know know why the atrocities in Yemen are not higher profile.
  7. What do you call this then?
  8. Well, Israel is outraging opinion everywhere because of the genocide it is perpetrating in the name of 'defending itself' and Ukraine was previously garnering the lion's share of the media; but certainly there are many other regimes which should be attracting condemnation e.g. Saudi who are waging similar atrocities in Yemen. Why no demos v them I have no idea.
  9. With the global corporations who pay the piper; not with politicians.
  10. Perhaps because our country's masters give support to these countries in terms of arms exports? Money which could be better spent in rebuilding resources here.
  11. Well I think we know where real power lies, but it's all about the optics.
  12. Is it true that Trump has said he will not send a penny to Ukraine, thus ending the war? If so, then I sincerely hope he is elected.
  13. Ah, the old idea chestnut that socialism is opposed to human nature. Nature is not smooth and regular; it is full of variants and mutants which cannot always be explained.
  14. I wouldn't dare claim to be an expert but I'm circumspect as opposed to cynical.
  15. Because the writings describe an ongoing process and method which is mutable like nature.
  16. Disagree. Science is constantly evolving and theories are forever being modified.
  17. The only leftists worth listening to are those who have read and understood the works of Marx, Lenin and Trotsky and apply their methods of dialectical materialism which has its origins in Hegel; that is a scientific method of analysing society. All others distract and prevent unity. Not for nothing did Lenin write a pamphlet called, "Left-wing communism: an infantile disorder."
  18. I was jesting 26th but thanks anyway!
  19. Maybe he is the long lost grandson of Sam English?
  20. Interesting. What would they replace it with?
  21. You only have to look at what the interference of the private sector had done/is doing to the NHS to see that capitalism does not always improve our lives. It is being destroyed for doctrinal reasons, nothing else. Untrammelled private enterprise has resulted in a hoovering up of wealth into fewer and fewer hands. Capitalism was a stage we had to go through to develop (Marx recognised that it was a necessary stage in history, but economic systems are not set in stone and can change e.g. feudalism, slavery, capitalism etc.). You surely are not in favour of private ownership of everything? You don't think there is a place for the mixed economy? Public transport for instance is best served by state ownership as Japan and other countries would testify.
