    At his concerts in Germany, he projected onto screens the following names of victims of state murder, I've added the nation that murdered them:

    George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile - USA

    Shireen Abu Akleh, Rachel Corrie - Israel

    Sophie Scholl, Anne Frank - Germany

    Blair Peach - UK

    Mahsa Amini - Iran

    Stanislav Tomas - Czech Republic

    Mawda Shawri - Belgium

    Adama Traore - France

     

    Peach, Corrie and Scholl were each murdered for opposing the state targeting of an ethnic group. The rest were all murdered for being a member of a state targeted ethnic group.

    The two named victims of the German state, Scholl and Frank, were murdered by the Nazi government. So, yes, Waters equivalated between those two specific Nazi murders and the two specific Israeli murders of Abu Akleh and Corrie. The thing is, though, he also equivalated between those two Nazi murders and the highlighted murders by USA, UK, Iran, Czech Republic, Belgium and France. So I'm unsure how Israel became the special sausages here. Cynical reporting.


    OK, I get it. Pork.
     

    Funny.

  2. Roger Waters did not sport a costume resembling an SS officer and omitted a controversial comparison between Israel and the Nazis at his Birmingham concert Wednesday, after attracting criticism and sparking a German police probe for such acts during previous legs of the tour.

     

    Without looking I'd wager a large amount of cash that he's hard Brexit, Trump man.

    That's seriously flawed logic.

    Would you also apply it to rallies in which trans activists hold signs, without protest, calling for the death of and decapitation of 'TERFs'?


    One person holding up a homemade sign?
    A bit of paper with writing on it?

    No. That doesn't apply.

  4. German saying:
    If 9 people sit down at a table with 1 Nazi without protest, there are 10 Nazis at the table.


    I think the same applies to Rangers supporters and sectarianism, and Labour voters who deny antisemitism in the party.

  5. “It’s something good to have in the team. We encourage him [to move into midfield] and he’s a midfield player playing as a full-back, it gives us the adaptability and the variety of positions to attack and defend spaces. It’s an extra weapon to have because we are more unpredictable.”
     

    Arteta on Zinchenko.

     

     

    Tierney doesn’t have that in his locker. Tierney is just a left back, mostly left back in the dressing room.

  6. Mount is obviously world class but as Benty said on TalkSport last month transfers over £75m rarely work out.

    My worry is that there will be too much expectation on the youngster to play well every week.
