Tiresias Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 why not go full hog if queens funeral is a measure of great bloke and invite the grand prince of noncing prince andrew to st james park while we're at it then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovagod Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 The thick cunts in our supports standing to acclaim and applaud a literal murderer might be the time I have to give up, like.

Im not really up to date with current affairs / legal accuracies but i'm not 100% sure that its proven he's a murderer, however i'm happy to proven wrong if so ?

gbandit Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 How is anyone going to prove that with the power and money he has?

True, but awfully, it’s a media driven agenda of public outrage. For example, we’re all high-fiving each other about the quality of getting cheap snide football tops when if you looked into the reality of it they’re probably made in a slave sweatshop who’s government is actively using concentration camps to manage genocide, completely under most football supporters radar because it doesn’t make populist reading.

Tiresias Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 The world being truly rotten is still no reason to be cheering on the head of a murderous misogynist homophobic state visit, same as with those racist edl types i don't want hate to be welcome in st James park Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

World politics are fucking rotten. Aye, this is exactly it. The problem is that when hypocrisy is pointed out, you don't have to look very hard. It’s nigh on impossible to live a life where someone can't point the finger and say 'aha, well you do this' because it's everywhere. No reason why we shouldn't want things to be better though eg manufacturers not charging obscene fees and pushing people to the grey market.

He’d need to be put on trial - and given it isn’t a crime against humanity, it would need to be a trial in KSA, not The Hague. What do you think the chances are of the Crown Prince being brought up on accessory to murder charges in KSA? Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao etc - not a conviction between them. Innocent, I take it?

Ok No, the point is that dictators tend not to be convicted for their crimes - certainly not without being toppled. The idea that ‘hey, the CIA reckoned he did but there were no charges’ is a joke. The CIA can’t charge him ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Doesn't really matter whether he was involved with the Khassogi murder or not, he's got enough blood on his hands with all the executions happening in Saudi anyway IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. The country has no formal penal code, yet executes people like it’s going out of fashion. Imagine backing a dictator who kills people who want democracy?

patrone Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Initially I would engage and voice my opinions,about how supporting NUFC is not the same as loving the new owners and so on. But when you constantly get slated for "ignoring atrocities for a new striker" and "loving everything Saudi" and "defending a murderous regime", just because you aren't constantly protesting about it. I try to stay away from such discussion ?♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
