Luke Edwards with THE FACTS

I'm aware of where the 9/11 bombers & bin laden were from, I'm also aware of how Saudi Wahabbism informed their beliefs. Jihadists still exist under different or no names. Al Qaeda as a functioning group don't. With hindsight it wasn't worth the 20 year occupation but I'm unsure what other choice the US had in 2001 though. If you're suggesting the US should've targeted the Saudi state then I expect your carer will be in soon...

Largely yes. Isis was something different, it was largely Saddam’s B’ath party Generals and militant Sunni militias who’d all been banged up together by the US..

Nobody mentioned Iraq but yeah that was bollocks. Afghanistan wasn’t…..but mission creep, the needs of industrial/military complex, failure to truly understand the tribal nature of the country and how democracy is virtually impossible in such a society, the duality of Pakistan and the abysmally chaotic exit all added to the the utter futility of the 20 year campaign. Going in was in 2001 was required, appropriate and justified though. Pity they didn’t find Bin Laden at that point. Things could’ve been very different if they had…

Al Qaeada were being hosted by the Taliban in Aghanistan. If you'd had any military experience you'd understand this

I'm not aware that I'm blocked by anyone important tbh

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/aug/25/blame-afghanistan-war-media-intervention?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other there’s no mention of 9/11 in this piece which appears to me to be Monbiot just screeching “LOOK AT ME, I WAS RIGHT AND THE REST OF YOU ARE WANKERS!!” I tweeted him these precise words and he promptly blocked me

Lee Scratch Perry, 85… https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/aug/29/lee-scratch-perry-visionary-master-of-reggae-dies-aged-85?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Just been watching MOTD and the London stadium looked packed to the gunnels full of glory seeking cockneys who’s issues with the err “new” ground seem to have miraculously disappeared during lockdown/ because they’ve won 2 from 3…thought I’d look up what sort of crowd they got and can’t find a result service that will tell me…not bbc, sky or daily mail anyway… is this now a thing? I’d appreciate a link to a site that gives attendances if anyone knows of one? cheers

You mean the sixth string? No need to patronise us. We do have feelings you know

Some fucker walked just behind myself amd my entire family as we were going into the kirk at my father's funeral. It was literally like a long lost son had appeared from fuckin nowhere... I resisted the temptation to front up to the cunt before the minister kicked off just as word came through from my brother that it was his mate Simon from Edinburgh who I'd actually met myself at least twice before (in my defence I think I was pissed a couple of times) in the preceeding three decades or so...and the fucker had shades on ...

Well go on then Hendrix, wtf does that mean?

13 dead, US servicemen injured 😓

I usually sit on either hand for 10 mins before till it goes numb so it feels like someone else is doing it anyway

Am all over this shit, am very much a pro vaxxer... interesting choice though...

Dennis Law and now Terry Mac announce in the same week that they have Alzheimer’s 😪 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-9915403/Liverpool-legend-Terry-McDermott-latest-football-great-diagnosed-dementia.html

Looks like there's a tracksuit top in this style too... would the over 50s get away with wearing one? Asking for a friend

Yeah..the men in grey suits will decide this time...up till now the only qualification they need to sit in the cabinet is blind unswerving loyalty to Johnson...in return they've been unsackabke. As Tugenhadt said the other day though this is the worst defence/foreign policy disaster since Suez and it looks like this useless twat just couldn't be arsed to help...

Why would someone of the nature of Steve Bruce keep two home grown brothers that he personally can't make any money out of unless he moves them on? This isn't about the needs of the squad if you ask me, this is about £££££££

Stand down Dave, all is forgiven...
