"Im not trying to bring a direct equivalence to these two events by the way. They are hugely different and one is clearly much bigger than the other, but there are many people who support the narrative of the extreme right wing. I'm just trying to make the point that just because you beleive in...

I imagine there's many who watched the riots in the country last year who were sympathetic to the fact that hundreds of people took to the streets to show their frustration at a system they perceive to be broken, but then were appalled at the Violence that took place afterwards. Unfortunately...

Well as you know. The equipment that was damaged was not being sold to Isreal but I'm not here to be pedantic nor to defend the UK government position on the conflict. There's many issues in this thread that are being conflated though they do intersect.

I'm certainly surprised that they didn't take such action against any of the right wing groups that have propogated over the past few years. There's significant organisation that's taken place which has been evidenced for years. The ideology is clear too and I don't even think it's up for...

I agree they are. But in the real world you can't justify an act of sabotage against defence equipment and violence in the UK with the actions of a foreign government. Even if you think our government isnt doing enough. I think there's a few people on here who actually seem to agree with the...

It's relevant in as much its included in the definition and your commentary seems to suggest that you beleive that their actions don't match what's posted in that legislation

I think the very nature of the premises they entered being a site relating to national security would automatically hit the threshold of it being serious. Is a very clear aggravating factor by any reasonable means. You've also not acknowledged the violence piece on three separate occasions at...

We can agree to disagree mate. I'll be honest, I'm not actually arguing that they should be proscribed. I'm just telling you that their actions are clearly covered in the legislation that's been set out for some time. I'm also seeing a lot of assumptions online about the legislation, it's...

To be fair they fall squarely into the definition based on the legislation. You can disagree with that by all means and we can debate the legislation and interpretation but its there: Relevant UK Terrorism Law: Terrorism Act 2000 Under the Terrorism Act 2000, terrorism is defined broadly. Key...

Has anybody read the John Nicholson series of books set in teesside at all? Always wondered what they were like

This arguably provides more incentive to not just save, but to save into something that will produce better results for the individual.

Great post. Especially the reference to exposure to the market and I hadn't considered that but makes total sense. Seems scary as hell at first but is the opposite after a period of the ups and downs. As you rightly point out, you don't need to invest in volatile stocks and shares

A few weeks back there was genuine discussion of the tanking of the S&P 500. Stocks lost 20-30% of their value including my kids ISAs. A few weeks on and it just hit an all time high again going above where they were. Nothing is impossible of course and past performance cannot predict the...

Just a point of order, this is for Cash ISAs only and the 20k allowance will still be available with a proposal to limit the cash allocation. I don't agree with the loss of choice but the returns on cash ISA versus stocks and shares is costing people an awful lot of money over the years...

What a low bar we have ffs 😂😂
