Lord WoodenCock is a splendid example of what's wrong with the House Of Lords. It's worse now than when it was full of hereditary peers.

Absolutely. Reform to HoL must be very carefully considered. It doesn't seem exactly improved by the 1999 reforms replacing most hereditary Peers with political appointees

[@lesliekingsley4993]

Woodcock speaks, all that can be heard is the sound of a dried pea rolling around inside a skull - but with dangerous outcomes.

[@Titus9508]

We can safely refer to Woodcock as 'Supporter of War Criminal.......' from now on.

[@pipster1891]

The definition of "terrorism" is NOT 'violence with a political aim'. If so, the Uk government and police would be called terrorists. The definition of "terrorism" is 'anything the official enemy does'.

[@Skygrey2943]

I get your point, but that's called 'state terrorism'.

[@koala6016]

State terrorism is the worst kind, and don't forget that certain governments fund and train terrorist groups, such as Al Qaida and ISIS.

[@devianadkar7969]

​@Skygrey2943 they call it upholding the law. Terrorism really is anything the enemy does. We do worse and are just trying to defend human rights.

[@Skygrey2943]

@devianadkar7969 Yeah the US and UK do hide behind 'freedom' and 'human rights' but when they're attacking non combatants with a political aim such as creating civic pressure it is 'state terrorism'.

[@maxpowerii7368]

Terrorism is violence with the intent to scare or induce fear into a civilian population with the intent to manipulate their decisions as a result. Ergo by definition it can not include violence against occupation or violence against ruling classes aka rebellion. However the assault on Palestine would meet the definition and be considered state terrorism as it’s intent is to scare and terrorise the Palestinian civilian population.

[@Userjunior2016]

[@tiggero6690]

Keir has today confirmed that he has "changed the Labour party". Why he thinks this is a vote winner is anyone's guess. Labour will almost certainly get in, but only because the Tories are worse. I predict a great many spoiled voting papers - and probably a win for Count Binface, should he choose to stand.

“A Leicester defence factory” 😂

[@Mat-kr1nf]

It’s very strange that when independent advisers recommended raising MPs pay, they claimed they had to go by its findings because they were “independent” advisers, but when an independent adviser recommended something else (can’t remember exactly what it was) that the government didn’t like, they then claimed, it was advice from an independent advisor, so they didn’t have to go with what they recommended. Absolute hypocrisy, but that is what we find time and time again from that bunch of disingenuous money grabbing chisellers!

[@michaeljames5936]

That 'independent advisor' was like some sick parody. I believe this shows the extent of his dehumanising of Palestinians, that it infuriates him, that anyone would stick up for them. To him it must be done out of venal spite, as no one could actually care about a Palestinian. In general his belief is, that the more someone upsets him, the worse their crime must be.' Like the law they were introducing in Florida, I think, where it would be a crime to insult a police officer, making him so angry he assaults you.

[@allanmckeown8417]

How can you describe an arms/components manufacturer a 'Defence site' when there isn't a guarantee that the arms aren't aren't being used for acts of aggression by oppressive regimes.

Now I'm not legal scholar but surely saying that people will have to make a monetary reparation for a vague "Loss of business", that I'm sure the courts will accept without any evidence, is a direct encouragement to maximise that amount of loss? The businesses will lie anyway and at a certain threshold they can't make you pay more money than all you can ever pay, so surely destroying the whole building in question is the only logical response?
