To be fair, most people's experience is what they see in the news and social media and revolves around fox hunting, hare coursing and trophy hunting.

Fuck you Vance. You're a self serving, spineless prick.

In terms of emissions outputs? What about other factors such as tire emissions, production emissions and the space they take up that could be used by more efficient transport methods.

He is no longer either of those things. He is a right wing, opportunist, self serving, politician.

My basis for claiming they are happier with outside access is common sense and experience. A caged bird might also seem happy but it's not right. Same for cats.

I am doing no such thing. Whether a cat has a better quality of life indoors/outdoors is a separate issue to whether they should be outside in terms of biodiversity. I accept that they shouldn't but we should be focused on neutering/spading in the short term in my opinion.

I dont agree with this. Eoghan is absolutely right about cats and biodiversity but that requires a macro intervention. A cats best life is lived with access to inside and outside, even if it means living a shorter life.

Not at all. I recently had an eye test because my eyes were really dry. Turned out it was antihistamines.

Often. If you can't tolerate the treatment, switch it up. Try sinus rinse, cetrine in the morning and piriton at night. But it's a delicate balance.

Pretty pathetic response to someone who is actually trying to do something.

I would like to think that might be possible but the people who want to eliminate Palestinians are doing that brutally and effectively with no regard for international law. I'm dreading the Louis Theroux documentary but I will watch it.

I understand the siege mentality that has brought Israel to where it is. Most Israelis were born there and not part of the Nakba. To move the dial from where we are now to where it should be is incredibly difficult but an Israeli election might be a good start.

Calum, you started the personal insults and I'm very happy to tone down the rhetoric to have a respectful conversation. Like you said, we are aligned on several issues. I have absolutely no ill feeling towards Jewish people. I am consistent in my belief that no innocent people should be harmed.

It's far from antisemitic. European countries facilitated colonialism when they should have been making sure that Jewish people felt safe and protected in their European homes. But what has happened, has happened. A non apartheid sate with equal rights and respect is the only equitable solution.

82 percent of Israeli Jews support the forced expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
If you think this is just on Netanyahu, you are delusional.

Wrong. I don't accept your attempt to weaponise antisemitism. I don't believe that the zionist project adheres to the principles of international law and that is a perfectly legitimate position.

Calum, you're throwing personal insults around while being a sixty year old Macho Man Randy Savage fan. I mean, that's pretty pathetic.
Herzl's plan was considered impossible until Britain got involved. Unless you are really basing your arguments on the Bible Calum?

The UK's involvement in supplying arms to Israel dates back to the period of the British Mandate in Palestine, with some historical accounts mentioning the acquisition of arms by Zionist groups from British Army stocks.

For over a decade, Israel facilitated the transfer of 10's of millions of dollars of funds from Qatar to Hamas as a method of ensuring that Gaza and the West Bank would remain under separate governing authorities.

The Balfour Declaration was the catalyst for the modern state of Israel. Following World War I, Britain took control of Palestine under the League of Nations mandate, which further fueled Jewish immigration and land acquisition.

Feel free to dispute any of what I said Calum.

Done and shared. It's very important to highlight the difference between airport emissions and aviation emissions. A clear attempt to fool the public into thinking the aviation industry is doing its part.

I feel like there are easier ways to self-promote than sailing unarmed towards a genocide inflicted by a very trigger-happy army acting with impunity that already attacked the previous attempt to do what you're doing but shur lookit, maybe we're not poisoned by cynicism enough.

Complete and utter BS but that's all you have. It's not working anymore. Your ethno colonial project has never been weaker.

By the way, I love Greta and think it's disgusting that harming one white European girl would cause more outrage than slaughtering 100,000 Palestinians. But I feel that's the reality here.

I wouldn't put anything past them but I think they will be aware that this would be a huge mistake. The ship is registered as a British vessel. Britain and France have warned them. I think they will intercept it and towe it away.

I understand your point of view but the world has not been silent. Western governments have for the most part, ignored the views of the majority of their citizens who oppose Israeli war crimes. And Greta is not just a young Swedish woman, she is the leader of the worldwide movement to save humanity.
