I couldn't agree more with Steve Coogan. The Labour party had an opportunity to make a difference, they had a huge majority but they've wasted it being uninspiring. It often feels like their only actual goal is to make the daily mail happy.

Yes, your ignorance. You need to research the difference between the Ottoman Empire and the Arabs. The Arabs (Palestinians) helped the British against the Ottomans in WWI

pipthepilot @pipthepilot.bsky.social · Jul 1

Your ignorance here is astonishing. It had nothing to do with UK winning WW1. Palestine helped the British and my country betrayed them.

pipthepilot @pipthepilot.bsky.social · Jul 1

You mean like deals agreed between Israel and the US without Palestine contributing? I'm not saying Palestine are blameless here but your belief that it's all Palestines fault is laughable.

pipthepilot @pipthepilot.bsky.social · Jul 1

Yes there is an epidemic of ignorance, but its because people believe the propaganda they are being fed. I don't trust anything that Isreal says, if there's no independently verified "facts", there are aren't facts.

And yes, there is a big difference between the government of a country and the country. Many people in America didn't vote for Trump so it would be unfair of me to say the whole country is stupid.

This is rubbish, when was the last election in Gaza? I'll tell you, it was in 2006 with a 40% vote. This was 19 years ago and the current average age of Palestinian in Gaza is only 18 so the majority weren't even born when Hamas was elected.

I agree there are faults on both sides but you're trying to compare a small occupied country with that of a nuclear power. Israel could have ended this years ago but they chose to overact in their show of force that only creates more generations of Hamas. Burning children is BS, show me the evidence

pipthepilot @pipthepilot.bsky.social · Jul 1

You seem to be confusing Hamas vs Palestine. The actions of Hamas are wrong and abhorrent but Hamas isn't committing genocide. Saying death to Israel and America is surely free speech, Israel has killed 1000s of innocent people and yet you give them a pass?

pipthepilot @pipthepilot.bsky.social · Jul 1

Israel is not defending itself, its committing genocide. I'm sure if another race was trying to kill you, you would also be chanting death to your enemy.

pipthepilot @pipthepilot.bsky.social · Jul 1

Your response is laughable, Israel doesn't adhere to the oslo accord so there is zero point using it as your argument.

It doesn't matter who owned what in history, it matters who's country it is now and the Palestinians who are being occupied. The British owned the US before the Americans, so is it OK for the UK to now claim ownership? Of course not

Its so sad to see such good friends parting ways 😀

I'm just looking forward to Elon getting deported to EL Salvador.

How to F#ck does Putin see attacking Kyiv as revenge? Ukraine didn't attack first, Russia invaded a sovereign country.

I needed to take a break from social media recently, world events can get too much to deal with at times, but I needed to comment on the insanity of Putin's "vow"

Later in 1992, the Sovtek version changed from Red Army Overdrive back to Big Muff. This version is called the Civil War Muff, referring to the Blue and Grey of the Union and Confederates.

I'm so ashamed on my own country (UK) Whilst the EU and countries like Canada are doing something about the US being the global bully, we're just sitting on the fence waiting to see which way the wind blows. The UK was once a leader, since brexit we're just a failure.

Every time I see your posts I open up VCVR inspired only to be reminded I don't have as much talent as you

Day 138 #guitarpedals #guitareffects #bigmuffpi
Continuing the Biff Muff week with the Red Army Overdrive, a Big Muff in every way but name. When EHX went bankrupt in 1992, Mike Matthews setup Sovtek in Russia who started making the RAO.

Looking forward to Trump changing the law to allow third term presidents. Obama 28 💙💙💙

Day 135 #guitarpedals #bigmuffpi
The second generation of Big Muff, the Ram's Head. So called because of the little square sheep logo.

I'm furious, I cancelled my gym membership and now they won't let me workout. Its so unfair 😢

Day 134 #guitarpedals #guitareffects #bigmuffpi
In late 1969, EHX release the first version of the Big Muff Pi. This version is often referred to as the triangle due to the three knob locations.
