    I have a pathological hatred of those tinny phone speakers - it's so effing antisocial when people play media or have conversations using them - it literally sends my anger levels from 0 to 11 instantly

    I'm fully behind being able to shoot them with impunity

    And what about those phone things in cars where they have it so f*****g loud you can hear it miles away - do people have no sense of how f*****g noisy it is?

    and don't start me on leaf blowers...

    That one is a bit random
    I mean, they are noisy but people are using them to actually do something.
    People playing stuff loudly on public transport are just being inconsiderate pricks.

    On Christmas Day 1989 in Romania, a radio announcer jubilantly told the people of that country “the Antichrist is dead” - in relation to Nicolae Ceaucescu executed along with his wife.

    I express that sentiment again now. Yahya Sinwar was the scourge of the Palestinian people…a man responsible both directly and indirectly for more Palestinian deaths than any other individual. His death is a deliverance, it’s too early to say for sure but it may well usher in the end of the Gazan war (and I genuinely hope it’s the last one). My support of Israel has nothing to do with dislike for Palestinians and everything to do with solidarity with the Jews. The west in its myopic stupidity has allowed this conflict to go on for decades and decades, by never allowing Israel to do what was necessary to defeat the PLO and now Hamas.
    I’m not going to pretend that it’s all one sided, the settlers represent that it’s definitely not just one side who make claim to the real estate from the river to the sea, the Palestinians must have their own state eventually…but it can’t come at the price of destroying the Jewish state.
    But for those who weep for Palestinian children surely they want the chance to see them grow up where they aren’t inculcated into martyrdom in their schools. That there’s more to life than it being the holding area for the celestial paradise that will never come.
    Netanyahu is no peace maker, his blithe arrogance did partly bring about October 7th by allowing Hamas to keep subsisting.
    The Israeli people will punish Likud for its failure to protect Israelis, but more so the west needs to stop its obstructionism in the name of de-escalation. Whoever wins the American presidency needs to scrap this ridiculous nuclear deal with Iran, and realise just as Israel had to that you can’t negotiate with evil theocrats. Sanctions need to cripple Iran, the US state department needs to get out of the way if Israel decides to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities….give the Persian people the chance to string that evil old goat Khamenei up from a lamppost in El-Tahrir square.

    leaf blowers accomplish very little, they disturb the peace and are environmentally bad

    A good broom is much more effective - leaf blowers are just for fat lazy 'gardeners' who want whoever's paying them to see that they're 'doing' something

    You have a far stronger opinion about this than I do

    If I woke up and found you were in charge of the country, I would become part of the greatest exodus since Biblical times

    You could see the English translated headlines in Le Monde “Wally becomes UK dictator….millions flee”

    Frankly being called a wally by the Daily Maul or whoever would prove I was on the right track

    And great if all the arseholes fucked off it would leave much more room for the rest of us

    Tnh that's what i wish all the leavers had done, if they want to live on some island somewhere and totally cut themselves off why don't they just fuck off and do it instead of screwing things up for everyone else?

    Oh I’m fairly confident that if you were in charge, it would bridge the Remain/Leave Gap, in fact every conceivable political divide. Either to get away from the country or orchestrate an uprising

    But it does pose an interesting question to me. Rather than invoking others to leave, why didn’t salty people like yourself actually leave the country post referendum. Try to resettle elsewhere whilst you could?

    You can claim the end of freedom of movement but didn’t even have to move to the EU?. Could it be that for all the moaning and bitching you’d rather live here than anywhere else.

    What really worried me after Brexit was a no-deal situation, and it seemed to me that the Remain supporting politicians were just as dead set to end up there as the headbangers were in order to say I told you so, that’s the kind of extreme stupidity that results from political tribalism. There has to be loser’s consent or you end up in a situation like in America post the 2020 election.

    It seems to me petulant and utterly hypocritical to be concerned about the effects of Brexit yet do absolutely nothing to work with the other side to try and mitigate them. “Oh we didn’t want this to begin with, so we aren’t going to do anything to help” is what pushed us towards the headbangers Brexit.
