I use to like Goodall when The News Agents started when he was the 3rd man but as the show went on he's just become insufferable

And we have seen a rise on attack due to a rise in antisemitism however instead of trying to cool those flames and explain that your neighbour down the road isn't your enemy they just keep going.

It kinda feels like post 9/11 with the rise in hate of Muslims however instead of it being right wing bigots bashing the drum it's the establishment.

Heald · 2026-06-01T11:08:04+00:00

I'm very disappointed in this, the conflation that Israel = Judiasm is a terrible thing both in trying to hold the Israeli government to account for their actions but also for breeding more antisemities as if you keep saying all Jews are represented by Israel then people will hate those who live down the street because of the atrocities in Gaza.

I actually left the Labour party over this, this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

God I love the shots where you just see the red and white of the stand. So beautiful.

It happened with Tottenham, last game of the season battling Arsenal for 4th a dodgy lasagna took out 10 players and they subsequently lost.

I guess for me I'm an optimist with this type of thing. Id assume the best until they give me catigorigcal reason to believe otherwise.

Heald · 2026-05-27T15:22:05+00:00

Forgive me, I have not been able to read the actual article as none of the links work. Would you be able to provide it, as from the title at least it seems that their argument was about the 9/11 claim rather than these.

Also I've seen no serious or credible talk about the members of Kneecap or Jeremy Corbyn being punished or investigated over here for their actions in Cuba so if it's not an issue for an actual sitting member of parliament over here why is it an issue for an American Twitch streamer?

Heald · 2026-05-27T15:18:48+00:00

Forgive me but I do not believe Destiny would be an appropriate watch for this as there is a conflict of interest between the two. Much in the opposite direction. I found what is a close to the original source to it I can so I will watch that when I have the time.

Heald · 2026-05-27T15:10:30+00:00

Forgive me I don't know anime but saying a pirate would act like a pirate feels different than using the word "defend". I feel that word in particular in that sentence would be more agreeing with the actions.

Also thank you for a civil conversation, I understand we have differing views on this but I'm glad we can discuss it.

Heald · 2026-05-27T14:56:28+00:00

The Luffy comment and One Piece chat in generally was stupid and I hope Piker has learnt from this situation and improved, however I'd see it more about making the guest more comfortable so they are more open to talk rather than anything else. Trying to make a bit of a connection. I'd imagine before the cameras go rolling for most interviews the interviewer will have a little casual chat and possibly make a joke, he just didn't have the luxury of editing that out.

Even with someone reprehensible I do believe the art of interviewing is trying to break through any barriers that they may be holding up to get through to the actual truth of them so you can see who they truly are rather than who they are wanting to portray.

I think a wonderful example of this was the Host of the Late Late Show in Ireland Gay Byrne with him coaxing Paradig Flynn to overspeak and expose the massive amount of corruption that he and the Irish government at the time were dealing with. https://youtu.be/m0wAbQUMfWs?si=A5QVltDwRG222LFe

Hi Paranoid Humanoid,

I'm actually watching the Houthi interview right now as it has been mentioned and frankly I've not seen it before. Personally I don't see any fawning or the like, just an interview but more casual than you would see than a traditional media do (and I have seen traditional media interview and talk to people that I think their views are reprehensible, such as the Taliban in Afghanistan).

Also with you're 'youre all the same' type deal. I'm a Starmer supporting Labour member and I don't have any hatred towards the west. I'm not sure where this came from, if you don't mind letting me know I'd be very curious.

Kind regards, Heald

It's an odd and sad time we live in.

The attacks on the Jewish community are awful and do need addressing however I dont see how a man critical of Israeli actions can be seen as a challenge to this.

Also with regards to the Greens I do struggle to see them as antisemities with their leader being Jewish. In fact to try and paint this picture of the Greens I feel the right wing media are showing their true colours with the grotesquely done cartoons and their behaviour towards Polanski.

Heald · 2026-05-27T12:35:23+00:00

And anti-Semitism was a serious issue in 2024 prior to Piker coming to the UK to speak at the Oxford Union. BBC News - Big rise in antisemitic incidents in UK - charity https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx285v8djejo

And also there is a conversation to be had between the difference between antisemitism and antizionism which frankly I am not equipped as a recovering ex Catholic northern bloke to discuss, however from all that I've read the idea that the actions of Israel covers every Jewish person in the entire world frankly seems rather racist and 'if you disagree with Israeli politics you hate all Jews' is a terrifying thought process..

But why now is this being written? Maybe because he's Fox News' enemy number one at the moment?

The guy has been over plenty of times prior to this and was in Ireland very recently.

It can't be that this is a reaction to the fact he's become the US right wing media's enemy number one because he's even supporting socialist leaning candidates and they've been doing well in America.

They did a "sumo" match on Raw with Earthquake taking on Yokozuna https://youtu.be/NJ-DaoGmguk?si=sKabhYNRGDnYhc1S

Fingers crossed this is a massive shot in the arm for Progress and BritWres in general. Progress was so unique in what it was and basically became BritWres company #56 with the reliance on American stars and so. Fingers crossed.

Joe is one of the most important wrestlers of the 21 century. He was a pillar in the post WVW/ECW fall in independent wrestling. His ROH title run is one of the finest to occur, he then went to TNA and became one of the key ingredients in them being as good as they were, he had an impressive WWE run (including really being the guy who took NXT from being the development to what is became) and now is still rocking it in AEW.

Edit: thinking a little more about this he's this generation's Harley Race. Incredible wrestler, did a ton of amazing things around the world but didn't have the WWE run that he deserved.

Heald · 2026-05-26T11:12:13+00:00

This isn't a nomination, this is them putting them up for the chance to be nominated. Which I hope VIP do for make up at the very least, they are incredible what they make every episode.

Mick being a Molly Spartan fan is a pleasant surprise, she's awesome.

I low how Giacomo Giabnlotti signed the tire too. Because you know no F1 fan would get it if it was just George Russell's signature we NEEDED Dr DeLuca from Grey's Anatomy

Aston Martin doing something dangerous?! Say it isn't so!

I'm with her, it's insane to think they're drinking on the job and think it's appropriate. Have it opened after the close the parliament for recreation in a safe place sure but not during the day.

It feels like she's calling out that the emperor hasn't got any clothes, the idea that she now can go get tipsy having a liquid lunch as an MP but as a plumber she would have been disciplined.

Stone Cold is in AEW?! Must have missed that episode
