11.11, why has that post not been removed ?

[naomi24]

 

anneasquith, I'd no idea what that is so I looked it up.

 

//an instrument for removing a cap from a cartridge case//

Related to calls for a ceasefire I guess.  I don't see a problem with that but if you do by all means use the report button.

The post appears to have been reinstated.

I think TT uses the term 'decappers', when actually he means 'decpitators' - reference to the attrocities carried out by Hamas.

[anneasquith]

Well any fool knew that AH .

[naomi24]

Andy-hughes, it hasn't been removed.  Anneasquith is asking why that is.

Naomi - // Andy-hughes, it hasn't been removed.  Anneasquith is asking why that is. //

So it does, I misread the post.

I would not remove it because it does not contravene Site Rules, but as you advise, Anne can report it if she feels differently.

[andy-hughes]

Assuming that everyone else sees something as obvious as you do is not actually a reasonable way to go through life.

We know what we know, we don't all know what everyone else knows.

[naomi24]

Thanks for that, andy-hughes.  

[anneasquith]

AH, so you don't see an issue with that post ? . Hey Ho . 

[retrocop]

Tut Tut. The 'so' rule.

Naomi - // Thanks for that, andy-hughes. //

My pleasure.

anne - // AH, so you don't see an issue with that post ? . Hey Ho . //

That's not what I said.

I said that in my view as a Moderator, it does not contavene Site Rules, so I will not be removing it, and I advised you, as naomi did, to report it if you feel differently about that view.

That's not to say that I don't think TTT's contsant, if inaccurate, reference to the Hamas attrocities is not deeply unpleasant and unecessary, because in my view it is both.

I hope that clears up any misunderstanding.

Either a very naive commissioner or  confident. If he has it wrong it looks like his head may roll from what the P.M. has said.

//March organisers have said they do not plan to interfere with Remembrance Day events, while the police have declined to issue a ban.

"This is a decision that the Metropolitan Police commissioner has made," Sunak told press during a school visit on Wednesday.

"He has said that he can ensure that we safeguard remembrance for the country this weekend as well as keep the public safe. Now, my job is to hold him accountable for that."//

[naomi24]

Does anyone kmow if the flags at the Centotaph have been replaced?  I asked earlier but I'll try again.

[youngmafbog]

The Met Commissioner can still change his mind and save face.

Watch for the "I cancelled it becasue of the right wingers coming down"

"Respect costs nothing and yours is an empty gesture."

baffled by this... i remember being very moved by the remembrance day silence when i was at school and i also remember my teachers telling me that my generation had a duty to stop it from happening again. we had a school trip to duxford once and i remember my english teacher pointing and saying "you lot, you need to make sure this never happens again." my ICT teacher was israeli and fought in the IDF... he told me that if you should work for anything then work for peace. it really stuck with me and i have seen armistice day as a time to reflect on how horrible war is and especially how crimes against humanity can never be justified. that's not an empty gesture to me... it is extremely meaningful. and that meaning is rendered null and void if people permit and encourage atrocities because we happen to like the people who commit them.

Untitled, should Hamas triumph what do you think will happen?

[anneasquith]

To whoever, * faith restored *.

I don't want hamas to "triumph". i want them removed from power in gaza and replaced with the palestinian authority. i do not think that genocidal attacks on gazans will achieve that.

[naomi24]

What you want and what is possible are two different things.  Just answer the question.
