Back on track, the programme youāve linked to does look very interesting. Iāve already read a fair bit on this, as it was covered by the Guardian (they may have been involved in producing it, Iām not sure).
Iāll have to give it a watch some time. I guess Iād put the revelations that Iāve read in the āshocking, but sadly not surprisingā category.
Maybe Teds An agent for the Israeli government and has succeeded in his mission to stop discussion about whatever it was you wanted to discuss(i forget, sorry(well done agent Ted)). His mission is complete, hence heās gone.
Iād drop it if i was you Pap, or next time they might send someone nastier.
ā¦or maybe heās an agent for Cohenās Kosher Soups. 
The Guardian have been mostly indifferent bystanders to a lot of this. Back when I wrote my (now discontinued) nocomments scraping project, they offered their readers the least amount of opportunity to discuss Middle Eastern and especially Israeli events. The Daily Mail of all papers, offered the most freedom of speech. Today, through Peter Oborne, theyāre one of the only mainstream media outlets to be offering persistently strident and robust criticism.
Mark Regev was ubiquitous on the TV during the 2014 incursion into Gaza. He, and the fact that the BBC were presenting people from pro-Israel thinktanks as independent, while completely marginalising Palestinians, was one of the reasons I peacefully protested the Beeb in 2014.
Iāve seen them all now. My assessment, based on the videos and the reports concerning the feud between the strategic office and the folk back home, is that Regev has probably stepped up the covert activities of the Israeli embassy, probably because it is losing so much support on account of the conduct of its government. Apart from the LFI/LFMPE gaffe, I wouldnāt dismiss my mateās account out of hand.
In one interaction, Shai Masot offers a mil to Joan Ryan, head of LFI. If thatās just one transaction, Ā£10m to put candidates in place doesnāt seem unreasonable, especially with the revelations in the four parter. Weāre talking about organisations that pretend to be independent and honest brokers providing a multitude of voices of validity. The series provides a lot of evidence to suggest that these political activities were centrally funded and loosely directed by the Israeli Embassy.
And theyāre bang to rights. I donāt see how Joan Ryan gets to stay in the Labour Party. I think thereās a strong case for proscribing LFI.

Cob, whatās your take croutons ā¦ yes with the right soup or no, theyāre frenchie nonsense ?
Onion soup with grated cheese soprinkled on the surface

I think the worst thing I did was call his content unrelated bollocks. It bore no relationship to what I had just written. Weāve got a very long thread with over 33.7K views concerning Labour. That probably would have been a better place to put some unrelated anti-Corbyn stuff.
I like a lot of what Ted posts elsewhere. I personally donāt think Goatboy should be apologising to him. The record will show that SB was just as much of a dick. He insulted me personally. The worst he got in return was having his content described in a colourful fashion.
He then retracted his fuck yourself to Goatboy, but kept mine intact, despite me insulting him less
Who wants to discuss the Israel Lobby when weāve got such matters of import of our own to get through?
Lovely stuff. Only on Sotonians.

Meh, weāve dealt with worse. Not endorsing your agent theory, but in terms of punch, TedSB was Mr Burns warning Simpson that heād crush him like a paper cup. TedSB was a pussycat in comparison to some other folk weāve had round here pushing certain agenda.
We had a hell of a time with a mush from the āWear Mittens around my Missusā pressure group.

Incredibly vocal minority.
Steve, croutons are fine if youāre, say, cooking a meal to impress a lady friend, but in the real world theyāre a pile of unnecessary wank that gets in the way of proper soup slurping action
Like some of the food related posts on this thread?
Croutons look a winner to me. Very popular, even if they do have unexpected dilutory qualities 
A thread called The latest news was a stupid idea.
The subject of the aljazeera investigation, deserves its own thread.
The BBC is without question an organisation that serves the establishment interests. Ted appears to be denying that. I cannot really fathom how someone who takes their avatar name from a Brass Eye reporter can hold that position. Brass eye laid bare the absurdity of the MSM news coverage better than I ever possibly could. Iām sure Ted worked with some super talented, well meaning people when he was there, but Iām afraid the cause you were all working for was not the cause of the common people.

Fuck off, prick.
Turkish Registered Aircraft donāt have the greatest record unfortunately
The company I work for will only use accredited airlines I.E. the dodgy ones we donāt have to fly. At the moment Turkish Airlines are still on the to use list and for some of my Eastern European colleagues they have to fly through Istanbul. They moan like fuck about it the waiting for the connection the shitty airplanes. But they are at the moment still cheap. So no choice. I at the moment am flying Malaysian airways which in the last couple of years has a terrible record. Not through all its own fault I might add.
One of our crew had to go to āformer Yugolaviaā for a Wedding just after the coup. Heād been booked out of Dubai but the airport was closed (Fog or something) - he got rebooked out of AUH on Turkish - about a week after the coup. Every connection missed lost bags 72 hours to get there and about the same to get back.
Issue then was the post coup arrests had impacted every part of the Country. This last weekend one of my pals got marooned in Itanbul for 5 days due to the snow.
Letās not ruin the soup thread though - maybe we need a flights from hell thread for all those who have had to listen to air screws trying to sell Lottery Tickets while they are blinded by Yellow
On the subject of News & Airplane Crashesā¦
Evidence emerging that the EgyptAir plane that crashed in teh Med may have come down due to Exploding Apple IPad/Phone Batteries.
(And people moan about being told to put them away for take off and landing)
Sure youāve all seen the various You Tube Videos of exploding Lithium Ion Batteries (or had your Note 7 Blow up on you
