  • Eurovision expresses disappointment over performer wearing pro-Palestinian symbol

    Jump

  • Hamas attacked Israel, counting on the response being disproportionate and bloody. They wanted dead Palestinians and the Israeli government complied.

    Hamas aren't the good guys here. Neither is the Israeli government, just to be clear.

  • Eurovision expresses disappointment over performer wearing pro-Palestinian symbol

    Jump

  • Typical no win situation. Can't pick a side without being criticised, can't not pick a side for the same reason.

    Only thing that both the Israeli government and Hamas can agree on is that the Palestinian people is expendable.

  • UK attacks EU double standards on migrants

    Jump

  • What happens if Ireland grants them asylum? Can't they just use the CTA go go back to Britain then, should they so choose? Or do they have to become citizens first?

  • German AfD wants to dismantle EU, turn into confederation of nations

    Jump

  • And the Sweden Democrats. (not Swedish as I wrote before)

  • German AfD wants to dismantle EU, turn into confederation of nations

    Jump

  • It's the same AfD that has the same talking points as the Russia linked National Front in France. What a weird coincidence, right?

  • Ireland pledging emergency legislation to send asylum seekers back to UK in wake of Rwanda bill being passed

    Jump

  • A question. If the migrants that comes to Ireland via the UK first came into the EU in France, could the Dublin agreement be used to send them back to France?

    This isn't a question of they should be sent back, only if they legally could.

  • Scotland's under-18s gender clinic pauses puberty blockers

    Jump

  • Fair. I don't have a strong opinion on the matter.

  • Scotland's under-18s gender clinic pauses puberty blockers

    Jump

  • Wasn't one of the reasons that the long term effects of puberty blockers weren't known, and therefore caution was advised? I might be misremembering though.

  • Protect children from smacking in England and Northern Ireland, say doctors

    Jump

  • I don't get why children are less protected than the rest of us. It should be the other way around.

    Hilary Cass: Weak evidence letting down children over gender care

    Jump

  • Why is an article discussing children's welfare down-voted to oblivion? I don't think that's how down-votes are supposed to be used. However, I put it as NSFW because I knew it would be sensitive and I wanted to give fair warning.

  • NSFW

    Hilary Cass: Weak evidence letting down children over gender care

    Jump

  • It's a sensitive subject that's hard to talk about. Humility and compassion, as well as a will to listen to understand, is needed by everyone involved.

  • 'Slaughtered': UK farmers protest post-Brexit rules and trade deals

    Jump

  • Thanks for updating your post to make it clear that you were talking about anti EU sentiment at the time. That makes it clearer, and I agree with you.

  • 'Slaughtered': UK farmers protest post-Brexit rules and trade deals

    Jump

  • A poll from 2023 puts anti-EU sentiment in France (ie. Leave) at 26%. Not great, but obviously not very high. And I think a "remain" camp in France would have learned a few things from brexit.

  • US urged Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries

    Jump

  • Isn't it the republicans withholding aid to Ukraine? So bombing refineries would drive up prices, making Biden unpopular, increasing the likelihood of Trump getting elected which would make more aid even more unlikely? Or am I missing something? 🤔

    Not bombing them allows Russia to make money though, so it seems both choices are bad ones here.

  • Brexit’s Lasting Damage Is Looking Inescapable

    Jump

  • The UK wasn't a founding member, unless you start counting from the Maastricht treaty, and that was really just a continuation of the others going back to about 1948.

  • Brexit’s Lasting Damage Is Looking Inescapable

    Jump

  • I think so too. One way to improve growth would be to align with the EU to facilitate trade. The EU being the biggest and closest market. That goes very much against the sovereignty argument though, as it would mean following EU rules without any say in them.

  • Europe’s soldiers keep quitting, just when NATO needs them

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm not too keen on a military career.
