    Always instantly triggered by any argument on this that begins 3,000 years ago. 

    Another point was that he said "In 1967 there was an attack in Israel. But the debate has always been whether Israel was acting first in self defence or was the aggressor. That Israel struck first is not for debate. They did. At Egypt

    Another issue is he says that Israel handed over Gaza to Palestinian control. Now that implies that they didn't still have a tight grip on Gaza. Yes, Gaza is still not in Israeli control. Unless you count minor things like travel, trade, water, fuel, electricity etc. If you count those things then Israel with it's navy and air force do control Gaza

    We also talked about 100 enclaves of settlements. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/

    Also, again likes the story to begin with the festival attack but no mention of Jenin refugee raid. https://www.diakonia.se/ihl/news/excessive-force-a-legal-analysis-of-israels-operation-in-jenin-refugee-camp/

    Another interesting insight https://press.un.org/en/2016/sc12657.doc.htm

    He also is very quick to gloss over the first and second intifada. Confirming his bias. 

    As soon as it starts with 3,000 years ago you know. He tried to hide his bias but he's about as neutral as me.

    I'm just dipping my toe in the subject really, so the reading list is much appreciated.  

    It goes without saying that I automatically doubt all words that spring from Alistair Campbells lips.

  2. I've really really really wanted to give Warne the benefit of the doubt. 

    Even after watching that, I was still just about onside, let's face it Collins should have scored at least once today, that's not on the manager.

    His Radio Derby interview has tipped me over the edge.

    Giving up midfield as a deliberate ploy when facing the 24th best team in the league, without a single goal to their name all season, how on earth do the squad take confidence in their abilities when that's the managers mindset?

    Even if that attitude was successful over a season, what happens beyond?  

    Ipswich are running wild in the division above, having been promoted last season, can anyone honestly see a PW led Derby County doing the same if we somehow squeaked promotion this year? 

    He talks a good game, but plays a pretty poor one.

    Don't believe so, he was gay. 

    Started out with him being asked who he's been shagging in the village this week and he replied her son.

    Something along those lines.

    This was pretty much his set that night, bit more edgy being a live performance rather than recorded.
