Sadly I think both the media and the politicians determine which atrocities matter more based on the impact it'd have on ourselves. Genocide is genocide whether it's Israeli, Palestinian, Rwandan, German, Yugoslavian, Russian, Ukrainian, etc.

Those are some of the most criminal trousers I’ve ever seen that’s before you pair it with the Geordie Dancer shoes and sock combo

Yeah, I’ve seen them, which is why my position changed from where I was after October 7, where I could see why Israel needed to retaliate, to where it is today after the assault on Gaza intensified. I’m not here to defend what Israel is doing. I’ve also seen similar harrowing videos coming out of Ukraine, the forgotten genocide. Maybe it’s my Jewish paranoia but it appears to me that some genocides matter more than others

I think a lot of what people struggle with is that they're seeing images of children being shot dead coming from Israel's situation. I've not seen anything like that from Ukraine for a long time. I know a girl living out in Ukraine atm and life sounds horrendous but at the same time they're just about hanging on. I send her some money each month to try to help, my own personal attempt to alleviate just a little of the agony. I don't do that with anyone in Gaza as I don't know anyone personally, so I would contend that I'm more invested in that conflict than this one. For what it's worth, I see Russia as a greater issue than Israel. But Gloom, for real man, idk if you see the videos that do the rounds coming out of Gaza... they're all over reddit, and they are beyond harrowing, sometimes involving IDF servicemen calling for all Palestinians to be murdered like animals etc. Maybe the Palestinians are just better at social media, maybe the videos are faked, dunno. But that's the context for a lot of this.

Yeah it was the imperial version and someone pointed out Koreans find it offensive.

obviously things have moved on since the 80s - that’s progress. The point is, were you to call for the death of someone - or some group of people - on stage today, you’re getting nicked.

Was probably the imperial version of the flag but I wish it had've been Bruce Jr moaning about the bacon quip.

I’ll say it again. I thought Kneecap were class. I like their music and have zero problem with their solidarity with Palestinian people. I found the number of Palestinian flags in their crowd and the chants of “free Palestine” quite moving. It did make me think about your comment about how we picked sides however, @Rayvin. Trump is with Russia, not Ukraine, but Europe is supposed to be on Ukraine’s side too. I’m always struck by how that particular genocide doesn’t inspire the same level of solidarity here in the UK. I didn’t spot a single Ukraine flag during any performance at Glastonbury. Nor did I hear any artists lead any rousing chants of “Slava Ukraine”, despite Netanyahu’s tactics of siege and starvation coming straight out of Putin’s playbook.

Keyth: "Alright marras, I'm Keyth, FTM?" Everyone: "Alright Keyth, FTM" Keyth: "I like to make unbelievable yet still somehow dull stories up about the mags anaarl..... God it feyls grayat getting it off me chest." Chair Marra: "dinna worry about it Keyth, wa'al bullshitters ere at massive lads fans and massive tales anonymous, like."

I’m utterly convinced that there’s a secret selection process at the end of training where they put the sexy wenches in to the most embarrassing department’s and the plain Jane’s and boilers get put in the dept’s where you can keep your dignity. “ Oh, Mr. PL, your face looks like a badly topped meat feast pizza, and I see you need a prostate exam too? Follow Nurse Trixie Fox and she’ll utterly destroy any self esteem you once had. “ You need a foot x-Ray? Gunhilde here will be glad to take care of you, just try not to look at her face for too long.”

They probably didn’t want to air it in other Asian countries.

I guess where Gloom is coming from here is a lot of the IDF are conscripted and some of them are members of his own family. Which is totally understandable of course

Why on earth did a Japanese flag cause offence...

You know, I'm pretty sure such sentiment was quite common at gigs in the 80s. I don't know if technically then it was a hate crime but no-one was getting arrested for it.

Soldiers from any country's army are usually exclusively from that country.

It’s about the Japanese flag apparently, that’s probably why I couldn’t get into the Irish centre fir the filming being dressed like Colonel Klink.

'Sorry Pet, Tha's gonna have to gan, there's some stoner cunt I can smell near me'

Was probably just ordering a takeaway after the McDonalds at asda was temporarily shut for the afternoon.

I haven’t googled the definition of the law but IDF soldiers are almost exclusively Jewish

Did the bacon muncher throw a hissy fit, or what’s that about?

Yep that does seem to be a part of it. But still though, it's an Islamic theocracy that supports trans existence on some level It's just wild to me. Maybe we really should regime change them tbh, their government is an anachronism relative to their people.

I thought it had to be based on non-changeable characteristics, identity stuff - that's what google says anyway. My bad though, it's a hate crime then. I suppose I've probably committed a few hate crimes in my time with comments about the Tories... maybe I really should go back and purge my comment history tbh..

Standard Thursday night 7 a side at goals in Boro underneath the A19 flyover

If you got up on stage and incited a crowd to chant “kill Thatcher” while she was still alive, you’d be getting nicked sharpish. Why are we debating this?
