GreenJennyJones what a surprise that it’s the leading this 😂so dull. Unless papers like this can start providing less biased coverage of key issues, the belief in fakenews will only increase. Have a lot of respect for journalists but they need to start regulating their own ☝️

crimes against humanity would be more appropriate

Waste of public funds that should go on our own environmental issues at home... You Nimbies

So India committed a war crime in the name of surgical strike in Pakistan.

Except that most war crimes occur against one side or the other. Environmental damage screws everybody.

not entirely certain you UNDERSTAND the POINT of a war. make everything and everyone in your path think they are in hell. until the enemy surrenders to escape.

Yes !!

KSifferd reminds me of our convo at lunch

GreenJennyJones brilliant idea

says who? a SCIENTIST!?!!!?

Clearly their opinions are worthy of massive respect! Blair is a complete bozo. 🤡
