Exactly...

I didn't vote for Stu Peters mk1, I certainly would not vote for mk1.5.

That wasn't the question... You should consider a career in politics. You could be the next Stu Peters.

@The Voice of Reason you have checked out some of the recent cases haven't you? What do you think it is doing that inhibits the UK?

You didn't answer my question. Do you know why the ECHR was established?

So we are just referring to employment law. Is that correct?

Is your point that a Labour Government is enhancing employee rights and therefore we don't need the ECHR?

Violence tends to be how the borders of every country get redrawn unfortunately. How do the West's "War on Terror" go? It may have wiped out leaders and cells of one terror organisation but ultimately it failed to completely wipe our Al-Queda and saw other terror organisations rise and commit atrocities. Best case scenario is a result like the Good Friday agreement which has resulted in a more peaceful Northern Ireland.

Mature trees are also important for the ecosystem as is biodiversity in species. Natural woodland will be healthier with more biodiversity than a single species woodland or plantation. So whilst you may have a point on the carbon capture you also need to take in the wider impact.

@P.K. Would I be correct in thinking that you only see two outcomes of the conflict; Option 1: Israel wipes out Hamas and Hezbollah and ultimately displaces Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank and creates one unified Israel. Option 2: Israel fails in its fight against Hamas and Hezbollah and itself ceases to exist with Israeli citizens being displaced. Given your positioning so far I cannot see any outcome that results in the conflict ceasing other than the two above. My preference would be option 3 which is a negotiated settlement but I know you cannot see that happening and at best it returns to the status quo given that the Israeli Government is currently run by one set of extremists and the leaders on the other side are also extremists.

Just going to add that it is worth clarifying that Hamas and Hezbollah, while both funded by Iran, are not the same organisation nor do they have much in common apart from hating Israel. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" applies very much in their case. Otherwise they are on opposite sides of the Sunni & Shia divide.

Will you be volunteering then?

The situation is two Tory Party members holding significant offices couldn't get on the same page about water cannons. Johnson places the order on a vague understanding that May will give the appropriate licences. In the end she doesn't so we are left with useless water cannons. Tory party fuck up then.

Mature trees being used for firewood and replaced with saplings isn't straightforward. I think you have to plant many more trees than you cut down in order for it to be sustainable.

Conservative Home is a crap source and this is why you come across as a cheerleader for him. Not once have I seen you be critical of him
