I'll be in Miami South Beach when the Morocco match is played, any suggestions for somewhere to watch it at. Im unsure if fanzones open every day or just on matchday when a match is being played in that particular city.

If Harvey Barnes zings one into the net vs Haiti in the opening WC game we’ll all be delighted he switched, let’s be honest.

And the foundation of Israel followed insurgency or 'terrorism' against the British occupiers of Palestine. -

I think terrorism typically happens when people see no way of achieving their political aims through peaceful/diplomatic means. (I am not saying all mass murder incidents are terrorism by the way.) The inability or unwillingness of the 'international community' to prevent what has been happening in Gaza could be an example of powerlessness that may motivate some people to strike out at political targets or civilians. So I think we need to look more at the causes of terrorism, rather than just thinking up ways of punishing individual murderers, or blaming 'multiculturalism' or immigrants. -
That is a really good watch.Totally agree,very depressing.FIFA really do take the piss.

Hmmmmm.... The 1972 Aldershot Bombing by the Official IRA, which killed seven civilian staff at an army base. The 1973 Old Bailey Bombing, where the Provisional IRA carried out car bomb attacks in London, injuring dozens. The M62 Coach Bombing in 1974, which killed twelve people, including soldiers and their families. Bombings at the Houses of Parliament and Tower of London in 1974. The Guildford Pub Bombings in October 1974, where five people were killed. The Birmingham Pub Bombings in November 1974, the deadliest attack in England during the Troubles, resulting in 21 deaths. The London Hilton Bombing in September 1975, killing two people. The Assassination of Ross McWhirter by IRA gunmen in 1975. The Balcombe Street Siege in December 1975, where IRA members held hostages. The Assassination of Airey Neave in 1979 by the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA). Beyond the IRA, groups like the Angry Brigade and Black September were also active in the 1970s. Loyalist paramilitaries like the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) conducted attacks in Britain as well. The period's intense violence contributed to a fearful atmosphere and led to wrongful convictions, such as those of the "Birmingham Six" and the "Guildford Four". -

Jewish and non Jewish people living side by side in the UK seems like multiculturalism working pretty well. -

The UK has a diversity of beliefs, so the newcomers you resist are not fundamentally different from many existing Brits. -

Show us your Christmas tree....

We've had a lot going on this month so our tree isn't actually up yet! Mrs F is off work today so think she'll finish it off today and photos will follow. Although like Slasher you might not see a massive difference from previous years! -

The LIRR train runs from NYC Jamaica Queens to Southampton. The course is 1 mile from Southampton train station. There is also a luxury bus that runs too. Obviously you would need to get to NYC first or drive.

I know from a fishing point of view he is completely off the mark, there again he gets paid by the Pew Organisation so what do you expect. Seaspiracy was complete and utter fiction, its been debunked numerous times by proper marine scientists and conservationists. Theres a great website by an American conservationist at Washington University called Ray Hilborn. It's at sustainablefisheries-uw.org Its worth a look if your interested in Fisheries. -
If Clarke picks his squad based on not wanting to piss Connor Barron off then we'd be as well giving our WC place to a country who are taking it seriously

It is a tragic incident. We didn't get many terrorist events of this nature before we mixed cultures at scale. With vast numbers of people illegally entering our country every year with fundamentally different beliefs we are increasing the risk to the indigenous population. -

Season 25/26
Fairbairn replied to Och Aye's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
Not the best performance, again, last night but it’s 3 points and up the road. That’s 20/24 in the league under Rohl which would have us top of the league if over the full season so far so can’t grumble at the form. We’ve got Hearts, Motherwell, St Mirren and Celtic up next. If we can get a respectable haul of points from that we might just be in a good position going in to the window but with the way we’re playing and the paucity of chances we’re creating I think 6 out of 12 would be a decent return. -
Clarke also spoke that it easier to name players in the squad not getting minutes in the first few months of the season but November to the end of the season they need to be getting gametime and that he has spoken to some in the squad about this, he did say that did not include Gordon, maybe the same for Gunn, but maybe why Dykes has asked to leave Birmingham, Ralston could fall into this with Johnstone return, new manager and Donovan, also some of the CBs have not been that consistant in gametime either.

We’re looking at going along to one of the practice days. Struggling to find a decent transport option from Boston beyond renting a car and driving it, so we’ll likely go for the Tuesday and use Monday/Wednesday for travelling.

Theyve certainly escalated violence from Muslim fanatics, there is no arguing this. However the violence will not end there, eventually some more jihadis will attack Israel again or another "non believer" country.....round and round we go -
Future of the far/right in UK

Can you please tell us what it is that we are supposed to be seeing? Mass shootings happen all the time. Theres alot of nutjobs out there. America constantly has mass shootings carried out by white conservatives. As you said it's the norm. -

Your blaming a mass shooting on multiculturalism? Theres literally hundreds every year in the USA and it's mostly white right wing conservatives that carry them out on their fellow white ppl. The worlds always had terrorism. We had more terrorism in the UK in 70s and 80s when the IRA and loyalist paramilitaries were constantly bombing and shooting ppl. We live in a world where Israel are killing children by the dozens. Theres going to be nutters out there who decide to target the Jewish community because of that. If Israel could stop their crazy actions then the Jewish ppl would be alot safer in general. Blaming multiculturalism is just lazy and ignorant.
