In the news

What happened to punk rock...?

It's not needed anymore, new kind of sedatives have been created and they are better in sustaining the economy while aligning the masses. Plus it's a useless distraction. Violent too.

And did he not dress up as a Nazi?>

yes, like I said, the same as Hitler.

Yeah I thought better of the london comment as it was needlessly inflammatory. However it's not much of a stretch to suggest that a group of generally younger people from a city have a tendency to make assumptions about what they think posh people do.

Harry's great-gran shot a white rhino on honeymoon. They're extinct now.>

She was a horrible racist bitch to boot.

I thought Livingstone's comments were really stupid. I could be swayed either way as to whether he's an anti-semite, though. He's certainly gone down in my estimation. What this article lacks is an explanation of the specific "anti-semitic" quotes in question.

I don't understand you.

I don't give a fuck how and who kills them just as long as I have a reliable supply of buffalo wings.

Woah. Back to the cycling in lanes to drink small batch gin thing....forum ride?London distillery tour?

PS - Bison is well fucking tasty.

You monster.

Buffalo are American.

Meaning they probably have high powered automatic weapons themselves.

Shoot first. It's the only way to be safe in your own home.

A forum gin ride might have been a step too far. Soz.

Eat Bison. Make America Tasty Again!

Trump is building a wall to keep the Bison in!

Vote Trump 2016!

This picture of Harry posing with a Buffalo he'd just shot was taken in November 2004 when he was in South America on his gap yah, and surfaced in February 2014. Why are you posting it in the news thread now?

And Trump will make the Bison will pay for the wall!

And the Turkeys will all vote for Christmas dinner!

Tidbit (for @Stonehedge ) :

'Authentic' Buffalo wings:

Melt real butter at a low heat, once fluid mix with Frank's hot sauce. Keep the solution thick, and pour over cooked chicken wings, then place together in a sealed container (ie tupperware) and shake until coated).

South London variation, also works with fried chicken out of the chicken/kebab shops on Old Kent Rd; take the fried chicken, shake up with said mix. The batter off the wings soaks up even more sauce.

You guys can talk about your eating preferences but it won't change the fact that killing animals for fun equals to scum.

While not news, trufax nonetheless.

Comparisons to Apartheid would make more sense, but I suppose that South Africa probably feels more distant to people in Europe. Listening to Radio 4 this morning it seems that efforts are being made to prevent any discussion of Zionism within the Labour Party.

I think the problem was his reference to the Haavara agreement between Nazi Germany and the German representatives of Zionism. I mean, it definitely happened but it's probably quite embarrassing for Zionists and their supporters.

I think Ken's mistake was in confusing its factual basis, for relevance in that situation.

zionism is no different to apartheid and should be called out for the blatant fascism it is.

Arabs in Israel:

Have voting rights? Yes.
Arab women in Israel hold the right to vote? Yes.
Required to serve in the IDF? No.
Able to join IDF is wanted? Yes
Segregation? No
Arab Political parties in Israel? Yes
Arabs serve in cabinet? Yes
Arabs represented in national sports? Yes
Islamic freedom of religion within Israel? Yes
Arab homosexuals live without fear of persecution in Israel? Yes

@greenhell there is nothing wrong with having opinions about the Israel/Palestine conflict but as usual you throw around hyperbole that is unfounded and does nothing to bolster any argument for the Palestinian cause.

Might have to be a forum gin stagger.

apartheid is defined as "inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them."

it's apartheid.

Congratulations on your Google/copy/paste skills.
Now go away and learn about the conflict and you will find out pretty quickly that throw away terms like 'apartheid' have no place in any discussion on Israel/Palestine.
