Baby Reindeer on Netflix is very good.

Unreal. He's a great actor considering he's a comedian. Must be therapeutic playing himself. I never was as uncomfortable watching something and as quiet when over.

Couldn't sit through it.

What does that say about 'us' when watching something like that, which happened, that we all felt very uncomfortable and unable to watch?

Watching in discomfort!

I see it is causing a lot of issues for people in the writer past. Internet warriors.

Looking back, it's really disturbing the things that went on. The LVF weren't active (militarily) for long but were able to engage almost seamlessly in a sectarian campaign against the Catholic population. Its two senior leaders conveniently topped, one of whom was a suspect in Sean Brown's murder. It's almost as if the LVF were allowed to exist until they outlived their usefulness.

This story is really like the one about the Stardust

Certainly a tragedy with an attempted coverup, but collusion in the North went much further than that.

British State forces actively provided Loyalists with the intel, support and equipment to carry these murders out and then did everything to prevent a proper investigation then and indeed ever since.

They also allowed stakeknife (as their agent) to torture and kill plenty, crazy place and how that system was continually allowed to operate was unbelievable

If someone made a film about it, it would go straight into the fiction department

Shinners just as motivated as the British Government to make sure the full truth about Stakeknife never sees the light of day.

The thing is that there will be propaganda and lies as per any war but let's say that even (let's be very conservative) say 20% of what Israel are alleged to be up to is as heinous as they say then they're barbaric.

There are lies in war but I very much doubt one side is 100% lying and the other 0%. How people convince themselves of this I do not understand. It's basically just picking a side and backing up everything they do regardless.

Wife was talking to some nut job Christian that used to live near us in our last home.

Anyways she got talking about being a aid worker going to Israel to 'help' the Jewish community come to terms with the attacks in Israel.

She went on to say because she's been there (I ask where, but wife didn't ask) its lies being told by the media about what's happening in Gaza.. And blah blah blah, i sent my wife some links and said if you bump into her again show here this! 

People like this have the same mindset that the holocaust didn't happen

You're missing the bit 'after they have played the ball away'

And the last bit.

Or intentionally taking him out of the movement of play.

I see the Sunday Game hinted at being told by an official that Hampsey had made an abusive gesture after the shot had been missed. That's also a black card offence.

So I think we probably have no clue what the cards were for in order to know if they were correct or not.

Does that not suggest the ball has to be in play for that to be the case?
