Nice attempt to swerve the question. Time for something more productive. |

Hamas want to obliterate Israel and it's people and have been teaching that in their schools, people who say let's have a two state solution are underestimating the enormous task that is.
The extremists on both sides need to be moved on, there are some solid examples of how things can work, for example there are 2 million Palestinian Arabs living in Israel, they are in the police, MPs, Judges, Doctors, Army etc. If you go to cities like Haifa Arabs and Jews live side by side.
The downside of proportional representation is that the extremists hold the balance of power in Israel with a PM who is clinging onto power in anyway that he can. |

People who have opposed Hamas in the past have been thrown off buildings and hung in the street. Everyone with any compassion would want to see a ceasefire, but how do you solve the Hamas problem? |

22 nations of the Arab League have all told Hamas that they want them out of Gaza. Egypt and Jordan keep their borders closed. Its seemingly impossible to deal with extremists who are hell bent on their ideology and martyrdom. People using western values as a basis for a solution do not understand what Hamas are about. |

A great example of how things work these days, a council decides to take down some English flags as it seems them "inappropriate". This reported in the media and prompts people thinking the original decision was nonsense to stick up more flags! |

Sadly you have to both think around and double check all Government figures these days.
When Sunak tried the same trick in Parliament he had to go back and address the record.
Ministers in the current Government are now quoting the same misleading figure to the media!
As you stated another way of misleading the public is to focus on the number of asylum seekers in hotels and ignore the number grated asylum that are being housed by local authorities in hotels.
The misuse of data is becoming normal practice in Government, sadly journalists do not bother or do not know how to interpret data which is a dereliction of duty in a liberal democracy. The press should be holding the Government to account but it is now dominated by those wanting to express an opinion rather than investigate the issues. [Post edited 21 Aug 14:29]

From what I remember Phil Parkinson was an average performing manager at Championship level. |

Hamas are still firing rockets into Israel, if there were firing rockets into Swansea I'd want someone to sort it out. |

We get fed nonsense, the 24,000 have been returned is a misrepresentation, where people who leave of their own accord are included. The Government only know they have left after the Government have checked their visa status with immigration. The Government have not returned them they have left on their own accord.
The record numbers coming in are apparently down in part to the good weather according to the Government, I'm sure people from places like Afghanistan travel across thousands of miles and say, it's too windy today so let's not bother, I rather think they would wait for better weather.
When they stop feeding me nonsense and the numbers come down I might start to believe them. |

We are not going to solve the World's problems, how on earth are we going to sort out Sudan or the Taliban in Afghanistan? Countries have tried to intervene in Afghanistan for centuries and have never succeeded.
The irony here is the Starmer spent years using the court process to defend the right of sone pretty unsavoury characters to stay in this country. |

Well the £20 billion (actually £9 billion) black hole is now £50 billion despite " fixing the foundations" in the last budget. What people don't understand is that very rich people and business have options, particularly in a globalised economy.
300,000 euros gets you a passport in Portugal, a lower tax regime and access to EU countries. |
