most definitely not a drama for me, a lot of innocent lives were lost, but do these governments care? as long as it serves their purpose? human lives don't mean anything to them. we have enough war and killing in this world to know that most of these governments don't care. sad reality.

Yeah Pakistan needs to stop funding terrorism directed at India, that would probably help a lot don’t you think? To save lives?

Let me guess, this poster also refuses to unequivocally condemn Hamas?

This is selfish on me asking. I'm going on holiday to see my family in the south, before taking a fun trip to Goa.

Go to the south, I read somewhere the distance between the northern tip and the southern tip of India is like between Scotland and Naples ( or something like that ).

Palestine and Pakistan are very different situations. Pretty much the only thing they have in common is both are Muslim, have little regard for Human Rights and host terrorist organisations.

Well un insured and un-MOTed taxis parked on public highways should be easy enough to deal with, surely?

I was just thinking the same thing. Here you go @Anonymousemouses

Right back at you.

I’ll save my sympathy for all the little English girl victims of the rape gangs.

Thank you both, we have repeatedly reported the vehicles, but nothing seems to be done.

Even worse is an insurance write off that was bought in an auction. It's been reported and a councillor told one of my neighbours that they've decided "no further action", not sure how or why he gets away with it. I've seen a lot of cars nearby with the yellow stickers on, but our road - nada!

So you think its ok to want to wish for Pakistan to be 'Palestined' because of some sick pedo's? a whole population to be killed including women and children because of some act carried out by some sick minded individuals? what exactly would that achieve?

In reality a lot depends on who the owner is and where in the UK this is happening.

My gut feel in this case is that even if PP reported it then nothing will happen.

Do you unequivocally and without caveats, condemn Hamas?

Why do you think nothing was done? What is the reason for your gut feeling?

I’d be quite happy for Israel, Palestine, Pakistan and Indian to mutually annihilate one another. We have enough issues in this country not to be pulled into primitive disputes. Terrifying that these lunatics all have nuclear weapons.

What? I'm seriously lost? I was asking the poster why she thought that 'palestining' an entire population is the answer to the apparent raping of young white girls. I honestly do not see the logic here. In fact I'm genuinely interested in her line of thinking on this one.

How lovely. I might point out that the only time nuclear weapons have been used, it was not by these countries. Was that a primitive dispute?
I think you may be disappointed too.

How do you think our country has been pulled into this dispute between India and Pakistan?

justasking111 · 07/05/2025 11:39

Both countries are vast those away from the cities, military , politics, are just trying to earn a living . My brother lives in China, most Chinese are the same just plod on living a quiet life.

The power grabbing is so remote from their lives.

Go to the south, I read somewhere the distance between the northern tip and the southern tip of India is like between Scotland and Naples ( or something like that ).

I'm not worried about a border skirmish just if there's a full declaration of war like the borders will close.

Obviously any conflict is horrible and I wish things resolve quickly.

I know what you are implying and you may well be right, but we HAVE to report these things regardless, if you know for a fact that vehicles are uninsured and not MOTed or road taxed or whatever. Then at least you'll know what you are dealing with and can make a formal complaint if no action is taken by whichever is the appropriate authority, be it the council or the police.

You can't just sit back and grumble or assume that some sort of two tier system is being applied to people who flout the law, if you aren't actually reporting it anyway. That's just defeatist and does nothing to solve the problem. The law is the law and if the police fail to uphold it when something is reported then they are accountable.

There is no chance of all of India's borders closing even if a full war scale develops. It has never happened in previous wars.

Excuse me?

What do you mean the “apparent” raping?

Shows which side you’re on.

It’s been well proven.

Just hope we don’t get more of your lot coming here now.

Honestly this poster is a thinly veiled supporter of Islamic theocracy.

There is no point engaging them, they’re lost.

No-one has killed a 'whole population' of anywhere and neither is anyone currently attempting to do so. Watch your rhetoric. It does no-one on any side any favours to talk such bollocks.

Yes it’s very obvious. Terrifying to think how many are already within the gates.
