The phrase “jaw-jaw is better than war-war� is most famously associated with Winston Churchill.

He used it in a speech to the House of Commons on 26 May 1954, during a debate about the Geneva Conference.

'All wars end with negotiations'

History tells us most end in surrender.........

The unconditional surrender of the German Third Reich was signed in the early morning hours of Monday, May 7, 1945, at Supreme Headquarters.

C minus for Knobby in History.....

id have rather had the germans invade us than the Filth invading now

I wondered where my reply regards Hamas, Gaza and hostages had gone.

We should close the Israeli embassy in London and permanently bar all past, present and future members of the IDF.

Let the good people of Israel know what we think of their murderous ways.

Hi BF, the problem i see is zionism and what it entails for Palestinians, the even want to 'sell' them (Ben Gvir).

Bibi 'supported' them, suitcases of cash going in through Syria, it and his political 'career'deserves the utmost scrutiny.

The West Bank isn't Hamas though obv sympathetic in parts

The settlers are modern day 'colonialists', a supremacist rule and until there is some form of 'equality' and fairness nothing will be sorted.

hello pa

im not a cheerleader for israel. just crtical of the hypocrisy. it is surrounded by people who want to end it, and after 1000s of rockets and tunnels and a brutal slaughter its blown up deluxe, which i deplore also

but the haters said nothing about its constant assault from iran, the nastiest state in the world, probably

and nothing will be 'sorted' as long as it exists. 'free palestine' is bollox. its a brtual mini-iran. those daftee wimmin waving placards would be married age 12 in gaza. only in israel would they have any rights at all

your own mary lou was outraged when ireland played israel at football but said nothing when the irish cricket team played afghanistan. where she would be soon dead. hypocrisy again

there will be no solution. thers plenty of arabs in israel and they are glad of it. its islam thats the problem. there, here and everywhere. until someone has the cobblers to say so nothing will happen

for the good. either through fear or dishonesty

on a positive note, the red cap has re-opened. i had a pint there and it was good

I know you aren't a cheerleader,you well know they have done wrong and i am listening to you on your view of islamic culture and even to others in that it needs to be 'watched' particulary from inside the 'West'.
Most people just want to get through life and my belief is that applies to the majority except the nutjobs.
Mary lou could have said to the bowler hat brigade walk through a few of you at 3.30am and it would be little skin off most noses,sometimes the phrase 'a better man' is applicable. As much as i think their core belief is right they would be a disaster governing the country.
Afair the Red Cap was very small, down a side street on a corner(?) great to see a pub reopening though tbh i tend to stay out of them these days, good memories working for a crowd just off the Holloway road,they made me and almost killed me at the same time.

likewise. although mainly me own fault. we were different people then, and you wouldnt like london now, imo. its great if you have money. if not its very hard

i dont go in many pubs either, only my mate mitolos, which are very good

Bang on, we were invincible and fe ckless, i loved it then though,the small town Catholic yoke thrown off and not a care in the world.I loved London then even if it was the dreaded Newham where i mostly lived.
Not much reason to stay indoors then,4 tv channels,listening to tapes, nah, out if you had a few bob.
i do go there once a year and while a lot stayed the same it has gone v high rise.
