I think that posting a comment on the current situation for the residents of Gaza is one thing and that commenting on the massacre by Hamas is another. As it stands Gaza is in the hands of fanatics and if everyone of them are killed for their hideous actions that would be fine. But sadly it also has many many innocent families and individuals. The entire population has had its food water and electricity cut and is being bombarded under 'collective responsibility' not only is this wrong it is also incendiary to the entire Muslim world who have their own TV and media and all they will be shown is genocide.
I would hope that wise heads will prevail but on this occasion I suspect that this massacre will have to be addressed in violence from both sides and with the yanks off the coast it could get big and fast.
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,676

We won't get involved. The carrier is there to deter Israel's neighbors from joining in on the attacks ala 1973.

I hope it works - because that's the nightmare scenario.
I'm not suggesting that its Americas plan to get involved but a carrier fleet being sent into a volatile situation is as much as target as it is a deterrent. I'm not suggesting either that an attack on this fleet would be successful but it would be yet another step toward increasing this conflict,
Just as well that lad dumped glitter all over Starmers head and not sulphuric acid
Security ffs!?!

Iran is probably the only actor in the region with the means and desire to attack an American carrier. (Let's face it, they're the driving force behind the recent attacks on Israel.) We regularly sail carriers off Iran's shores, and they never do much more than complain and harass, so I doubt it'll be much different this time.
Great speech.
They should hand over the keys to No.10 right now.
Save eveyone a lot of fuss and bother.
I think if they have a leaders debate between Sunak and Starmer during the election campaign, it would be no contest
Frankly both men come across as a bit dull (not that that should bleeding matter)
But Starmer seems far more 'genuine'
With his debating skills , Sunak wouldn't have a prayer

Don't you think democracy should come into it?

It will.
My way would just get us to the same place, but quicker.

Democracy?
like "gerrymandering" the voting rules to benefit your own party (Reese-Mogg admitted it was wrong and back fired anyway) ?
Or changing the constituency boundaries so it benefits your own party during elections?
Or electing Sunak and letting him run the country without any mandate from the British people?
Democracy like that?
Or Boris lying to parliament??
Boris attempting to change parliamentary rules specifically so one of his own MP's could avoid resigning for bad behaviour?
I won't go on...
