This thread is about the latest atrocity against the Jews. Please, can people show some compassion for people affected by this tragedy and not use if for unrelated local (to the UK) political point scoring. The footage of the brave man (who has turned out be muslim) tackling one of the gunman...

It happened a few months ago. How soon we forget about the ongoing persecution of the Jews.

My heart goes out to those affected by this terrible attack. Much as some people may dislike Isreal, Jews aren’t Israel. Disgusting lack of compassion in this thread so far.

I'd be happy with that. Any asbestos would be fairly uniformly mixed throughout the plaster. You'll be fine, forget about it and move on with your life. Even if there was asbestos in the plaster, there's nothing you can do about it now anyway.

This government is a ****show on immigration, but so was the last, and I remember being equally unhappy with the hotels and small boats situation under the tories.

The Irish are much closer culturally to us than many of the other immigrants we have had recently, as are the most of the Eastern Europeans. The 8 million of Irish descent have arrived over the last few hundred years or more, not at anything like the rate we’ve seen over the last decade...

I would like to agree with you about the ECHR. It would be better to change it from within, but i just don't see that happening any time soon. l do agree that we need to stop mass movement, but again i don't see that happening any time soon. Unfortunately, human nature seems to lead to...

I understand people's concerns over leaving the ECHR, but plenty of other countries around the world aren't in the ECHR and we don't view them as pariah or at risk of their governments. Australia and Japan as examples. America has a very different political culture to ours and i don't think you...

O Other countries, even those in the EU, are taking a firmer line than us. The asylum seeker that the BBC had on question time the lasta week for example. He'd already applied for asylum in numerous countries and been denied it. Yet we're willing to accept him. Why? But its not just boat...

I'm sure it does need a world wide solution, but i don't want to wait for the rest of the world work out how to solve the problem. Our country and our population need to be put first by our politicians. Working out how to fix the world wide problem can run in tandem or follow on later.

I think people are also coming to the conclusion that the mass influx of immigrant, legal or otherwise, s is changing the fundamental make up of the country in a direction that they don't want it to go. Reform and the Conservatives have realised this and are using it to their benefit, and i...

I think its the other way round. Farage has jumped on the bandwagon because he can see that people do care about illegal migrants. I've been surprised by how many people i've heard talking about the afghans who raped the girl in the leamington spa park who were found guilty yesterday. I know...

With the statement ‘You would’, your response was pretty direct to me.

When have I dished it? The only person I have on ignore is Himmy and his mutiple user names.

I can agree with that. Both the left and right can resort to insults. I just perceive the left starting the insults earlier and then complaining when they get insulted.
