Two tier moderating.

In fact, is the point whether Israelis would find it insulting, or whether other people might find it insulting and be caused to hate Israelis as a result?

That card is designed as a mickey take of those (Israeli, Jews and Gentiles) who claim that criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism.
It's not. And while some people claim it is they need to be educated.
If they feel insulted by the truth, they shouldn't make spurious claims or accusations.
But they are still a subset of Israelis or Jews or Gentiles, and the Race Hate laws don't apply to a subset of nation or citizenry.

so many things.. where to start.. wait life is too short.

On the currecncy is all i asked about.

You said it had tanked. Can you show it ?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

It's wavered between 1.16 € to 1.18€ to the pound now for 7 or 8 months, except for a blip over Christmas.
At the moment it's sitting nicely in the middle of those extremes.

So to make any money out of the transaction you'd have to be exchanging £10,000 or more to make/save £100 maximum if you caught it at the relevant top and bottom of the fluctuation. (for every £1,000 you get an additional £10 if caught at the top and the bottom of the fluctuations)
And we know no-one can catch the top and bottom of the fluctuations because no-one knows what the future will hold.

Of course if your boat is on fire, you might save a couple of hundred on the purchase of a £40,000 boat.

Im waiting for his proof of it tanking.

But he appears to want to try and twist away from that, as he does.

He can't because it hasn't, it's sitting nicely in the mid position of the last 7 or 8 months.
And even then he'd have to be moving 100,000's to make it worth the risk.
For every £1000 exchanged from the highest to the lowest over the last 7 or 8 months you'd make/save £10.
That's £100 made/saved for £10,000 moved.
Or £1,000 saved/made for £100,000 moved.

Except it's sitting at the midpoint just now, so your savings/ profit would only be half of that quoted, i.e. £500 in £100,000.

He clearly claimed it had tanked!

Whilst I understand you trying to explain his position, I will wait for him to prove his point. If he can.

The point was,

I do at least have labour to thank for tanking the Pound against the Euro.

A very clear statement. I am sure it was not a lie, so I will wait for his proof.

You'd best make yourself comfortable then.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Well if he doesn't produce his proof, what does that mean ?

 

[noseall]

As a Brexer, you bear some responsibility for the Brexit Catastroflick

OOF!

 

[Notch7]

Brexit

July 2015 Pound to Euro 1.44
Sept 2017 pound to Euro 1.07

At least we have Conservatives to thank for tanking the pound Vs Euro by 40%…..oh and destroying the U.K. economy due to brexit

 

[Odds]

In the context of this thread.. it was very clearly intended to stir hatred towards Isrealis. He potentially thought (perhaps like the creator and JohnD) that using the term Israelis instead of Jews, gave him protection. Sadly sec 17 says otherwise..


see sec 20, does it apply... not so much.

Are you trying to say it's illegal for a British Jew to criticise the actions of the Israeli state?

Nonsense.

And what is the 'context of this thread'? That moderators allow this criticism to "stir up hatred of Jews"?

Nonsense.

You could use this thread to show us how the actions of Netanyahu's government is fully justified under International Law, but you can't do that because you end up writing...


...nonsense.

Give mbk a chance to put his proof up.

I'm sure he has some, otherwise the statement he made becomes an outright, erm, mistake ? Or insert a different word if you prefer.

 

[denso13]

Have you reported me yet?

 

[ajohn]

July 2015 Pound to Euro 1.44
Sept 2017 pound to Euro 1.07

That is one of the factors that caused some EU born to leave.

Nonsense.

The purpose of this thread was for me to complain about being unable to post on the Armageddon thread leaving you and JohnD a clear field for your constant spewing of bile and hatred.

Carry on.

I didn't realise it was that thread. I thought it was the one which got locked about the Labour councillor. I've never been banned. Do they ever let you back on? Maybe everyone could agree to start a new thread about Gaza?
