GboroRam Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Weren't the British military supposed to be the good guys? Why would they need pardoning? Were the good guys sometimes as bad as the bad guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it a conspiracy theory when it relates to other parties but not when it pertains to accusations against Iran? As I said, patently obvious.

Alph Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I think I'm a Middle East sympathiser but if you accidentally shoot a plane down then you're scarily incompetent or lying. I think I'd rather admit to lying than accidentally shooting planes out the sky that have taken off from my airport moments ago. I mean I think a lot of people were quite sympathetic towards Iran after that insane egotistical control freak blew up a bad guy that fought against Saddam Hussein, Al Qaeda and ISIS. It was nothing short of a declaration of war. It's not hard to be the good guys against the the ginger Hitler but they have managed to make themselves look like the wild barbarians again. And they want to say they did that by accident? Who thought that lie up? Better to say the plane was believed to be carrying some USA VIP!!

King Kevin Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Can't get medium range missiles on target ,and then shoot down a passenger aircraft by mistake you can see why we don't want them to have nukes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegedly the person responsible for shooting it down mistook it for a cruise missile. Gross incompetence. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Keir Starmer currently big odds-on favourite for the next Labour leader. I must admit, I saw an interview with him over the weekend and he comes across as surprisingly sensible, now he's able to present his own ideas. Surprised at his odds, though. Are the membership really likely to vote for him (a relative centrist) rather than RLB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m unfollowing people at a rate of knots and feel like I’m escaping a cult! It’s no secret that I supported Corbyn, but it’s like people have learned nothing from the last 4 years. Good policies count for nothing if you can’t articulate the message in a balanced way, and the mainstream media will destroy you if you try and appear radical. Starmer is the only obvious choice. Much as I’d like to see a female leader, I just think none of them have the charisma to pull it off. Meanwhile Labour twitter is going mad about Starmer not being radical enough and questioning every element of his left wing credentials. God this is depressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an echo chamber for Dunning-Kruger sufferers who think people care about their morale fibre and how amazing they are and how stupid everyone else is. Get back in the real world. The one where Labour has been like this for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
