Howay, Iran has been fighting proxy wars and supporting terrorist groups for decades. They are a brutal authoritarian state that oppress their own people mercilessly. They also supply Russia with drones to kill Ukrainian civilians. Israel has never used nuclear weapons when they probably could have. Iran might be responsible custodians of a nuclear arsenal but erm, no thanks, I'd rather not have that risk. Not to say what has happened is right. It's not, and as you say is counterproductive.

Well, there's only 2 instances of their use of course, both morally and ethically debatable and both from the US when they were "the good guys". I don't think any theocracy has successfully developed nukes before so your point is moot. None of Pakistan, India or Israel are outright theocracies, although the influence of religion is still a concern with these countries. But I know enough about Iran's government of Ayatollahs and Karmenai that I'd be very concerned were they to have the power to preemptively use fission bombs on Israel. Their stated unambiguous aim is the destruction of the zion state. Their Houthi allies which the mackems think are great lads literally have this written on their flag.

Erm, no. A nuclear armed Iran would be an existential threat for all of us with their connections with the Houthi, Hezbollah, and Hamas etc. WMD and religious zealotry are a bad combination. And yes, I am certainly including the US rapture crew in this, but we're a bit late there. The answer surprisingly was diplomacy. But now that has well and truly been shown to be a sham where Trump and the US are concerned, not to mention Israel who are now brazen liars not to be trusted. So Iran will be hell bent on getting nukes now regardless of the consequences.

I do find the Iranian theocratic government abhorrent but I don't disagree with what you say here. Iran is not at fault here. Definitely getting shades of this.

Uh oh, Wykiki is riled again.... "So I decided to treat t'missus, Brenda, to a fancy night away. You know, break the routine. So I booked us into this swanky hotel, cost me a princely £360 for one night! Three hundred and sixty quid! I nearly had a heart attack just typing in me card details. Brenda, mind, she was buzzing, all excited about the 'luxury experience,' as she called it. I was just hoping they had decent tea bags, not them flimsy ones that tear as soon as you look at 'em. T'room was grand, I'll give 'em that. Plush carpets, a bed you could get lost in, and even tiny bottles of shampoo that smelled like a French perfume shop. We had a decent enough evening, even if I felt a bit out of place even in me best trousers. Come morning, we head down for breakfast. Now, I'm a full English man, me. Bacon, sausages, black pudding, the lot. You can keep your English tapas muck Fish. Brenda, though, she gets all high and mighty. "Oh, I'll just have a latte, darling," she says, all prim and proper to the waitress. I just grunted, thinking, 'it's just a coffee, Brenda, not a royal decree.' We finished up, and I was just about to head off to find me car when the waitress comes over with a little slip of paper. "Your invoice, sir," she says, all smiles. I took it, thinking it was just a confirmation of the room, you know. Then I saw it. Right there, staring me in the face, plain as day: "Latte: £4.50." Four pounds fifty pence! For a bleeding cup of milky coffee! I tell you what, me blood pressure shot up faster than Wiggins on steroids. My feathers were properly spiraling, I can tell you. I felt like I'd been mugged in broad daylight, but with a silver spoon and a polite smile. I paid it, of course, because Brenda was giving me the 'don't make a scene' look. But as soon as we were in the car, I let rip. "Four pounds fifty! For a latte! I could buy a whole sack of t'Yorkshire Tea for that! It's an absolute disgrace, Brenda, a robbery in plain sight!" Four pounds fifty though. I'll never get over it. Never. CUNTS.

Good luck mate whatever you do. Moving house is a massive upheaval. Done it 5 times myself, fucked myself financially in the process through fees, moving costs and taxes. Could have all been avoided if I had pushed myself and bought the right house first or second time!

Some people really believe religion has no role in wars. All of this middle Eastern shit is intrinsically tied with religion. The irony being they all believe in the same OT God of Jehovah, but then like a tree it all branches out and even the religions are split into sects who inevitably hate each other. Christians, Muslims, Jews, protestants, catholics, Shia, Sunni, orthodox.... You can all get fucked.

Why aye.

Their main problem is the contracts new players are expected to sign. 1) will you sign a disclaimer for ignoring racist abuse in person and online? 2) will you agree to playing in a steydium with more crisp packets blowing in the wind than supporters? 3) Do you hate the mags n'arl? Gerrin. FTM

I agree with this economics Prof.

Israel furious that a missile hitting a hospital is a war crime? Hello? How the fuck can they say this with a straight face?

Absolutely bizarre the amount of threads on " Mag tops" that appear on there. As soon as on is locked another one pops up whackamole style. This one is 120 posts since starting this afternoon, same old shit on repeat. And yet. They swell with pride when they see MLFs wearing deck chair tops. Strange bunch.

Fucking County Durham Mackems man. Lowest of the low

I was gonna but couldn't be arsed. What is it?

Maybe the person on the phone just didn't start applauding him? I mean that's surely a hate crime right there.

Talking of mental gymnastics, well, just mental really.....

Only beat us 3-0 at home without breaking sweat. 😂 This bloke really is a walking brain donor. Oh, I forgot, he's not. He uses a mobility scooter.

The fucking brass neck of them saying we believe in this conspiracy nonsense. 😆

Why do they hate our country so much?

Both can be true.

Amen. One thing this board has taught me over the years is this truism. "if we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back".

Fucking hell Blastronaut. Sounds like the start of a novel explaining the origins of a serial killer.

Was a really nice gig. Absolutely loads of toon shirts, undoubtedly. Zero chants of toon toon etc. He played his stuff, I cried during " Spit of you", like I always do. During the encore of " Hypersonic missiles*" he said sing so even Sunderland can hear you, the sportwashed cunt. Great evening all round, kind of proud this kid grew up 2 miles from me. 9/10. * Those daft mackem twats always go on about how hypersonic missiles proves SF is a hypocrite. Apart from the absurdity of it, the song is actually a brilliantly crafted nihilistic love song where the protagonist admits he is ignorant and impotent. Sam Fender isn't remotely hypocritical iyam. Mackem cunts.

Cos we're not classy and popular like the mackems it's up to us to applaud mate. I'm off to the gig later and I expect to be exhausted the amount of applauding I'll be doing. 👍
