Barclays Bail out. Middle Eastern investors: Secured roughly £11.8 billion from Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi could have chose any team but chose Man City. The Etihad Stadium is owned by Manchester city Council and they rent it on a long term leasscto the football club.
The Palestinians most of whom are Arabs, accepted a deal in Oslo agreement. Wiki "The accords left core final-status issues—including the borders of a future Palestinian state, the status of Jerusalem, the return of Palestinian refugees, and the growth of Israeli settlements—to be resolved in later permanent-status negotiations. These permanent talks never succeeded. The peace process broke down amid political opposition, the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, continued settlement expansion, and the outbreak of the Second Intifada".
The accord s were torpedoed by assassination and On going bad faith Settler activity .
No comparison just an explanation . The infusion of cash at Manchester City coincided with the banking crisis bail out.
Abu Dhabi bailed out Barclays Bank and made gigantic profits. This broke rules. The conditions of the acceptance of this was the reinvest of the profits back into UK. Bingo Man City. Shirts same livery as Barclays. People love resonance.
The West Bank is not recognised by the International community as Isreal. It is occupied 7 to 1 by Palestinians. 3.5m to 0.5m Isrealis
The increasing violence by millitant violent Settlers is the reason for the UK change in outlook. It is a violent process which will continue for 100 years or more. It is a long game. Statistics are hard to find but violence has been consistently increasing.
Here is one example from Wiki
{In July 2015, a similar incident happened where Israeli settlers committed an arson attack on two Palestinian houses, killing 3 people, including 18-month-old Ali Saad Dawabsheh who was burned alive, and both of his parents who died from their injuries later on}. It is mostly beatings.
You are not interested because you are comfortable with the narrative you have. . It is a position you are comfortable with and you think you can defend.
Isreal and Iran are theocracies and if you are not of that faith you not be treated equally in this countries . I would not back the narrative's of either of them. Both breed fanatics and unreasonable behaviour such as the violent militants " settlers" who kill and beat up locals and doing "gods work" .
You have "picked a side" which for me is not necessary. Yog may prefer this side based on a closer religious outlook perhaps.
This has a long history and it is linked to the 2008 banking crisis and Barclays Bank .
Back then Alliance and Leicester Bradford Bingley and Northern Rock went bust and were bought out. Lloyds was given a massive cash injection . Barclays Bank "found" some cash about £3 billion from their mates. UK Government in a mess was happy.
However in the following years this cash injection which came from Abu Dhabi was deemed illegal by EU laws. By the time the dust had settled the Any Dhabi people sold their holding in Barclays bank and made a chunky 100% + profit .
The suits in London can usually solve problems with a few meeting and hand shakes and acceptance that the illegal bail out although not technically legal did have a happy outcome and Barclays Bank customers did not lose their money . Happily Resolven was included in this.
Around this time Abu Dhabi interests reinvested their British profits gained technically out side the rules and sold their share and bought Man city and develop the whole area around it as a general good investor. Perhaps IK suits told them that as their gains in Barclays had some questions marks it might be wise for lots of reasons to put the profit back into UK. Everyone happy that that sticky situation was resolved.
The suits now have now another tine mess to resolve. Best to stay calm, no name calling not anger just find a solution everyone is happy with and crack on.
Transfer ban must come. 10-15 years of cheating 10-15 years of transfer ban. They have an excellent academy and would have to develop their own players for at least a decade. And relegation to league 1.
Isreal should not be UEFA at all. They should be forced to play with their neighbours like Jordan. Perhaps then they will learn the art of compromise..
Gaza and Lebanon were known to be modern kind and liberal places in the 1950-1960 s I have read. Then Zionist arrived and " radicalised" not only their own people but local Muslims and Christians too. The balance was altered and chaos ensued and has continued ever since. The Isreals have never stopped stealing land by force and the Palestinians have never stopped resisting which many call self defence.
Palestine and Lebanon were very livable places until Hebrew speakers arrived with American accents and created refugees and migrants from Palestine to Lebanon. There are some hot heads on this thread for sure
Posters on this site tell me I am a wall flower when I complain about player subjected to animal chants. Most do not understand that racism and ethic slurs ars a concept that applies to all not just certain ethnic groups.
I look forward to the reinstated Class A academy . The Swansea style with some real talent imported and from Wales . Cardiff city have out worked Swansea in getting the best youngsters of late. Lawler Kiakpo and one or two others
"Palestine nonsense'. Those words alone set ls you stall and an intellectual lightweight.
UN have accused Isreals of " acts of genocide". This includes deliberately creating starvation and shooting and targeting women and children.
Lawyers and others gave rigorously assessed evidence and their actions to come to this conclusion. They have feet in the ground. Specialists seeing things for themlves
You in the other have presumably not been there and simply regurgitate propaganda. I fully accept the brutally of Hamas but they did not exist in 1982 and the tins of Shabba and Shatila massacres. They have arrived out of a tree action to kabe theft and poor treatment of Palestinians .
The evidence gas been assessed with in a legal framework. You do not agree with it but that mean not a lot unless you put your experience and CV on the table .
I suspect he is right and you are wrong. You view are partizan and you lap up propaganda an represent irn here. An Isreali asset.
There is one basic truth. Land theft and annexation cause all sorts of violent reactions . . This applies to Israel and Russia. Russia is paying frightful price. Isreal Jess si and still carry out their illegal annexations while trying to project normality with stuff like football and Eurovision song contest.
The 80,000 who invaded Ceuta was coordinated by the American government and backed by USA and Isreal.
Sounds like loose wording nothing more. Some violent atrocities are linked to mental health issues like psychological defects for sure like schizophrenia but there are a full spectrum of issues in the mental health field as far as I am aware. ( I do not claim to be an expert.)
What I write is genuine and not meant with malice ever. The Spanish womens football team made a mountain over a mole hill. Footballers are known for exaggerated celebrations like ten or more people forming a pile on the ground. It is not seen in normal life in public ..
I cannot quite remember the theme of the comments you found offensive exactly about depression . It may have been linked to me lack of empathy with substance abusers. No one else seemed upset.
Nothing high and mighty at objecting to mature blokes calling feisty young women ".Slags "
The forum political spectrum is interesting and a bit Anglo and pro Western.
A left wing overweight Welsh girl with draw out the intolerant mysogenists in mind if not action. They are of course right to call out Muslim mysogenists who are somewhat institutionalised in some countries
Burkha wearing migrants should be not allowed to settle in UK. It is a form of slavery and UK should simply apply zero tolerance to slavery..
This arson was made in Wales sadly facilitated by " intelligence" from " urban explorers" who must have known this dangers of identifying derelict building without security.
Some poster bring politics in to the threat where it s does not belong. That's what flag wavers do I suppose plus is the resident agitator.
It is probably more due to the urban mindset where youths are deterred from mindless arson by dogs guards and cameras. I bet they are all bricking it now. This was not an old barn.
