Leicester Localised Lockdown

[Borin' Baggie]

The world economy has stopped because of Covid. Wars have been happening somewhere in the world every day since the end of the 2nd world war, Iraq was just another war. Vietnam, Suez, Iraq - Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, all across Africa, Cambodia - why such focus on Iraq?

As for destabilising the Middle East - you probably need to look at the history of the region to understand when it was stable. The current situation there can be traced back to Afghanistan and probably well before the Afghan war you are thinking about.

Don’t be so believing of Facebook and do some reading into history

It can be traced back further to the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the French and British carving up the region post WW1, arguably before that to when the Italians seized land from Libya in 1912

What's the biggest knock on effect in the world ?
Unstaiblising the middle east since iraq or covid


Nice deflection

Covid probably, look at how it's been a catalyst towards growing negative sentiment towards one of the global superpowers. Iraq meanwhile was about as stable before 2000 as it's been after what with the gulf wars and what have you.

Unstaiblising the middle east since iraq or covid

To be fair pal, that particular region of warring tribes was only ever stable under the jackboot of the Ottoman Empire. Let's be honest, they've just reverted to type. Blair is a mere footnote in the history of the world's armpit.

That is arguably the best mixed metaphor since Merson's "They've put all their eggs in one basket and it's misfired" verdict on Andy Carroll.

Oh, and Protheroe, in a rare lucid moment, is right by the way: Iraq was already a disaster and simultaneously an even bigger one waiting to happen.

Thank god for that - at last we can put the LIQ answer to anything about Johnson as "yeah but what about Blair, he killed billions in Iraq" to bed.

You do realise i don't stack shelves? Not that there's anything the matter with stacking shelves, mind. My mom did it for over two decades. She was a kind hearted soul, always putting others first.

What was that message you sent again? Oh yeah, "I'm not as bad as I come across I can say that hand on heart hope we can be civil to each other in the future".

Remember the last time you took the piss out of someone for working in John Lewis's? You know, the bloke who was suffering from depression?

You really are as bad as you come across. I can accept you're thick as mince, but i genuinely struggle with the fact that you're a selfish, bigotted, one eyed, nasty piece of work.

Thank you x

Get back to stacking shelves ffs

Much of what is wrong with this country is distilled into that response.

Stacking shelves has been one of the exposed frontline jobs keeping us all fed over the last few months; the same goes for operating a checkout. More so when you consider the difficulty of obtaining online slots back in April and May.

It's symptomatic of a strange kind of snobbery: one that seems to sneer at vital but often low-paid work, and simultaneously gloss over the almost daily incidence of cronies stuffing huge wedges of taxpayers' cash into their pockets.

Maybe servility sums it up better than snobbery.
