Maybe you should.

It is when they are being held up as a paragon of virtue for doing it Read upthread where I agreed with Chris but like I said, morals have nothing to do with it, quite demonstrably so. I'd argue that would be almost as bad. It would be lovely if a non aligned not complicit in other similar situations country did it but I guess they are few.

This spudman was interviewed on 5Live about this earlier in the week (along with some other potato person for balance ) He was worried then that he wouldn’t have enough spuds… don’t go on the radio to publicise it some more then… Doh! From what I could work out from the interview, it’s kids using Tik Tok that are the main people driving this, so all those hundreds of people really should learn to tell little Johnny to do one and buy some baking potatoes, baked beans and cheese themselves if he wants a baked potato. The other thing I couldn’t understand was the toppings, to be generating this much attention I thought they must be something amazing and revolutionary, nope, beans and cheese, chicken curry… bog standard

It’s a good question, they were doing that way before October 7th

Maybe you should read the post that sparked the posts today, the one that claims that SA is a beacon of hope and morality because it clearly isn’t. It clearly wasn’t some moral objection to what Israel was doing that prompted the case being brought. There's nothing wrong with the case being brought but it really would have been better brought by a more neutral country. SA clearly isn’t what was claimed in the post earlier today You say you don’t know who SA's buddies are, maybe you should read up in that before offering an opinion. The situation in Sudan is just as bad as Gaza, it just gets much less publicity in the mainstream media.

Going back to this whataboutery. Israel doesn't have to be on a side in the Ukraine situation for the Israel Hamas war to be serving the purpose. Iran pushing Hamas to make the attack on Israel AND similar with the Houthis attacking ships in the Red Sea serves Russia's purpose by dragging “the west” into other conflicts in order to distract from Ukraine and to attempt to stop the supply of even never NATO weapons to Ukraine. Israel is the unwitting pawn in the game. Hamas attack Israel and predictably Israel react as we've all seen, that leads to an escalation of tensions that means NATO and others have to start spinning plates in terms of resource allocation.

Maybe you could point us in the direction of where this analogy is relevant. It’s not in this thread with regards to SA bringing the genocide case that’s for sure

I have no problem with that, it’s correct but SA is no “beacon of hope and morality”

Wordle 952 4/6* Bah somewhat disappointed given the start I had

That’s a very confused argument you're presenting. The finest whataboutery this side of Fishguard

You can't be serious, this the same South Africa that welcome other genocidal maniacs with open arms? It’s all about sides not morality.

Not seen it tbh but it hasn’t directly has it, it’s to do with Iran. Just as the Israel / Gaza situation is to do with Iran The only people connecting the Houthis to Israel are the Houthis and quite frankly it’s tenuous, they weren’t attacking just ships heading for Israel as they claim

Yeah, it could easily be some sort of Vivienne Westwood advert

Fixed that for you

So don't watch it then

Their vinyl is always quite hard to source in these parts, hence why that is on a CD

They aren't, they are just laying out the reason why citizens have the right to bear arms at the time of that amendment being written, it matters not whether those words are there or not, they are just added background to the amendment.

I had a pound off coupon for this in Lidl, which made it about £6:50 or thereabouts in Lidl Really fruity merlot/cabernet/petit verdot mix with a subtle oak finish, very easy to drink and even without the quid knocked off I'd buy it and think I'd got good value

Yes, after a day reorganising the vinyl, I can now get to my compilations much easier so I'm spamming you with early garage psyche

That’s just your inner Stourbridge Grebo coming out
