  1. I hope more countries call for restraint.
  2. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news Israel attack on Iran.
  3. Countries around the globe have been calling on both Iran and Israel to show restraint after this latest strike, amid fears the conflict could escalate across the region. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak avoids commenting on reports of an Israeli attack on Iran, saying it "wouldn't be right for me to speculate until the facts become clearer”. He repeats calls for de-escalation: "Significant escalation is not in anyone's interest. What we want to see is calm heads prevail across the region." China also calls for de-escalation. Foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said "China opposes any actions that further escalate tensions and will continue to play a constructive role to de-escalate the situation." Egypt, a key player in the mediation efforts between Hamas and Israel, says that they are deeply concerned about an escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran. A foreign ministry statement warned of the consequences of expanding the conflict and instability in the region. Turkey also calls on all parties to refrain from steps that could lead to a wider conflict. A foreign ministry statement said it was becoming "increasingly obvious" that the tensions between Iran and Israel following the attack on 1 April risked "turning into a permanent conflict”. Germany pleads for restraint, with the government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit saying "De-escalation must be the advice of the hour, we must prevent a conflagration at all costs," adding that it goes to "all sides".
  4. It needs moving to general sports please.
  5. Would it make sense for the elected P.M. to choose as deputy his nearest rival. to keep him/her onside - I recall Ms Harris becoming Vice President to the President, she had been rather a threat.
  6. Can you correct title please @SF
  7. Yes, instead of playing extra time after 90 minutes any injury time then go straight to penalties, I heard this suggested on Talk Sport last night and have thought it a good idea for years, anyone else agree?
  8. R.I.P. I seem to be R.I.P. - ing people I've not heard of.
  9. Could be space, if I sent my child there can I have a chapel, can some have a synagogue, can I.....................
  10. I liked the pictures Delbow showed, are the women allowed to dress like that now?
  11. Britain wasn't one of the choices, or it would be mine. Between America and Israel it would be America.
  12. She has made everything that the school is about very clear, personally I can't take to her, she seems different to my own headteachers - unbending, funny that the pupil's mother has sent another child to the school and is ready to sue the school again.
  13. If they are mindful of their and their families' safety they should be.
  14. When the pupil joined the school prayers were allowed, to her it may seem the 'goalposts' have been moved, the school head believes the school has a right to do that. There is a choice - move to another school, it's a hard choice but that's what is left, and then the next school may do the same - seems like secular is the answer.
  15. Well I'll be honest and choose B 👍
  16. Might arouse jealous division in the party.
  17. .....and what is it that so many of their inhabitants want to flee their countries?
  18. No embassy should be attacked imo.
  19. I believe he would like to get rid of her - foot in mouth likely the reason, and yet, I believe the Tories would be glad also.
