Can you give us more details about how long ago you experienced this? Someone just told me they think this is bullshit

Fair play @luke-akehurstmp.bsky.social has shared this. A lightweight opportunist may not apply to Luke but I wouldn't want to focus on weight. But, sorry Luke, you got dropped in because of 'support for communities' (all about Isreal) then moved to Durham. You're a massive opportunist

Sounds like you've only seen him on naked attraction, you freak

That's the most Luke Akehurst campaign yet!

You should not have accepted not being the democratic nominee

Because American politicians allowed themselves to be bought

If the people involved in agreeing to parachute you in originally are still there, you'll be fine. I'm more interested in whether North Durham means enough to you to stay when you're voted out

Scarlets turned up with no government subsidies, doubts over their future, a huge injury list, an emergency loan hooker and a stand in director of rugby. And Leinster still couldn't cope with them for much of that game

😂😂😂😂

But the ref is on Scarlets side, apparently 😂

The US is unwell.

America voted him in... twice

If he wants to though, he can choose to stay in, until he's ready.

Fuck global leverage! In simple terms, the least we can do is not make an Israeli/US war an Isreal/US/UK war. I was a labour party member, who voted for Starmer for party leader, to be clear. Just about resisting pressure to join this disaster so far is literally the best thing he's done

Fair enough, I just feel better having tried. If you feel strongly that I'm wrong, feel free to try change my mind.

Sorry to sound rude, I even took the time to read the whole article and screenshot every word Zack was quoted. It feels like you're uncomfortable presented with clear evidence though and I don't want you to be uncomfortable

Yes, it fkn would, you moron. At the very least, if the UK publicly stated what we all know about the basis for this war and said they were out, UK bases would only be under threat from sinister forces that may seek to drag us in by targeting them themselves

It's performative, not practical, to - had to check where this started - suggest there should be a vote in parliament before getting involved in a war??

I'd go further than a 'policy of disengagement'. I'd come out publicly and say this whole endeavour is fckn nuts

So if nothing we do matters, why are you upset at the suggestion we say 'nah, we're not comfortable with this, and we're not stupid enough to think use of our bases for it don't drag us in'

If sounds like you're saying that whatever the UK does, it won't change anything, so if we can't influence anything we should just go all in with an illegal war.

I dunno man, as much as it would normally be the case, I think trump's administration now just don't give a F.

You're digressing anyway. It's not about who decides, this was about making the right decision

*our bases, not are bases.

What are the facts? Is it a legal war? Is the UK under an imminent threat?

I made up my own mind first, I think most people do. Glad Polanski is expressing my thoughts. As for 'appropriate people decide'...feels like you've been sucked into believing that yourself

Yeah, but anyone choosing to be the face of that politics of change has to accept that they will become a target. The green party are in for some real attacks, the closer they get to possibly winning power. If those don't work, their charismatic leader should be worried.

Apologies, I'd never heard of him to be honest. It was more about the age thing really, thinking of someone else, much older than that, that's still alive unfortunately

It's so strange how so many Americans have lived off shitty fast food for almost a century but have survived to vote, in their 80s or 90s, desperately holding onto their lives and generationally backwards views

Starmer was maybe decent at some point years ago. I don't know if he's a shameless liar or if he was convinced to be one by mcsweeney, who has thankfully fucked off now. But if he's not a shameless liar, it doesn't matter, because he's definitely a useless cunt
