  1. Actor Joss Ackland has died at the age of 95. He appeared in the video for the Pet Shop Boys' version of Always On My Mind. If there are no other claims on the RIP slot next week, can we have this?
  2. Avicii - Levels Tracy Chapman - Fast Car Florence and the Machine - You've Got The Love

    The election was only a few months earlier than scheduled. He didn't do a Theresa May.
  4. This week's ramblings can be found from the front page or the latest news box.
  5. Yes, it's definitely politics. Starter, understandably, doesn't want to open up a rift with the USA, particularly when he is currently in a position where he has precisely zero influence over what happens in Gaza. At the start of the week, Ed Davey finally spoke out in favour of a ceasefire. I suspect that most Lib Dem members will support that position, but Davey has the luxury of being `able to ay it knowing that, barring a substantial decline in Labour's lead, he won't be in government after the election. It may even persuade some Labour-leaning voters in the so-called blue wall to vote Lib Dem, thereby consigning a few more Tory MPs to oblivion.

    Would you care to back up your assertion with some evidence?

    There were hundreds of thousands of marchers on Saturday. Inevitably, there were a few idiots, including those displaying vile anti-semitic slogans. Those few idiots were not representative of the vast majority.
  8. Bill Haley
  9. The remastered Red and Blue albums are amazing. The remixes make so many great songs sound even better.

    The majority of people arrested yesterday were right wing nutjobs protesting g near the Cenotaph. That is despite the fact that the peace marchers overwhelmed them by a huge margin. Well over 99% of the peace protesters marched peacefully and caused no trouble. The same cannot be said of the counter-protesters near the Cenotaph. The latter group are the ones who showed a total lack of respect on a solemn weekend.

    I won't be holding my breath.
  12. Frank Borman, commandeer of the Apollo 8 mission which was the first manned flight to orbit the moon, has died. Can we have Public Service Broadcasting's The Other Side on the RIP slot?

    Israel controls supplies of water, electricity and other essentials. It is a blockade. Netanyahu has no interest in a two-state solution. He wants to do everything he can to ensure it never happens.
  16. This week's commentary, chronicling a piece of chart history, can be found from the front page or the latest news box.
  17. Third place or better isn't quite guaranteed but it should happen.
  18. Another great win for Brighton :cheer: The once-mighty Ajax have now failed to score against Brighton in three hours of football. Every other opponent this season has managed to score at least once in half that time. The result means Brighton should finish at least third, thereby remaining in European competition into the new year.

    Or, to summarise, "Israel withdraws from territory it invaded".

    So you haven't addressed my point at all.
  21. Suedehead2 posted a post in a topic in News and Politics
    Israel controls what goes into and comes out of Gaza. Israel controls the supply of essentials such as power and water. That doesn't fit into my definition of "independent".

    Both sides are breaking international law. The fact that Hamas broke international law multiple times on October 7 doesn't excuse Israel doing the same in response. That's before we look at Israel's multiple breaches before October 7.

  24. Charities generally don't give out tents to homeless people. Therefore, not for the first time, this government is aiming for good headlines in the tabloid press by proposing to ban something that isn't happening. I have said in the past that Braverman is pure poison. I think I might have been too kind.
