Regardless the reasoning for them doing this, you cannot smash someone with a sledgehammer and lie to yourself that you are still the good guy.

The disturbing thing is that the people who damaged property got almost the same sentence as the guy who attacked a woman

    The single most influential individual in UK Politics is actually a foreigner.

    Sir John said he was advised before the election that he “ought to try to make some effort to get closer to the Murdoch press and I agreed that I would write Mr Murdoch to dinner”.

    He added: “In the dinner it became apparent in discussion that Mr Murdoch said that he really didn’t like our European policies… and he wished me to change our European policies.

    “It is not very often someone sits in front of a prime minister and says, ‘I would like you to change your policy and if you do not change your policy our organisation cannot support you’.”

    This was the headline of Murdoch's Sun right before the Brexit Referendum :

    (She never said any of this).

    To quote UKIP's leader Nigel Farage:

    "Without Rupert Murdoch, there would have been no Brexit"

    This dude is openly threatening the Prime Minister and spreading fake news.

    People are concerned about russian, indian, saudi, chinese influence depending on their politics. Foreign interference is actually happening right under their nose.

    It's just that no one cares because Rupert Murdoch is Australian.

    • Netanyahu is a war criminal that killed tens of thousands of palestinians. Israel occupies palestinian land.

    • The Iranian regime is murderous and is using the palestinian cause to further its own interests

    You understand that these things can be true at the same time, right?

    Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Hamas was democratically elected. Their first decision was to ban elections. Then they started throwing rockets. The result was 4 devastating wars with tremendous civilian casualties. This fifth war turned into a mass blood bath. The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing again, and again and again.

    I want free elections for Palestinians. You only want free elections for Brits.

    Both Hamas and Mahmoud Abbas are not legitimate anymore. They both banned elections. They both use thugs to beat up critics. How is that different than Israeli settlers? There needs to be new elections. Until then, as long as they use violence to repress critics, they are not legitimate.
