Until I saw the news late last week, I was blissfully unaware of the atrocity that was unfolding on the border.

I think, we’ve hit a watershed moment that as always only happens at the cost of bloodshed.

The ‘great recession’? It was or is barely a blip and huge number of people have unaffected by it. Many have benefitted from near zero rate mortgages etc..

@bob Would you care to give the rationale behind that? Comparing key economic measures like earnings, gdp, productivity etc.

I think unemployment has been relatively unaffected which is unusual.

My personal experience is of 10 years of stagnant wages, losing £40k on a house purchase and falling standard of living. This period, which happened just as I was starting on my career will have an impact on my earnings and quality of life for the rest of my career.

Interested in your perspective of course.

Like all chess Grand Masters, Israel is several moves ahead of stopping this. Anybody who even thinks of saying something contrary or negative towards what Israel is doing, immediately has the Racist Card thrown at them. And Israel has the Trump Racist Card with its own showstopping title anti-zionist.

Who’s going to raise their head above the parapet and be labelled with one of those titles? Guaranteed to end all debate before it starts.
