Phillip said Bamber would be spotted from a long way away. Obviously the light was good. As GG & RB said.

How else would 2am farmers and bike thieves operate?

Exactly

Who the hell would see a man drive an astra at 2am in a sleepy hangar ?

They certainly didn't an hour and half later

Israel/Palestine / Re: Iranian Strike
« Last post by gringo on Yesterday at 09:56 PM »
The Israeli Jericho 3 has a range of 5000km. An F-16 can fly 4000km with drop tanks. Airtankers can refuel aircrafts as long as they have air cover. They also have ballistic submarines that do visit the Persian Gulf.

Considering there was hardly any damaged caused. It would be unwise (IMO) for Israeli to retaliate. The Islamic theocracy in Iran is not very popular at home, and they probably want a retaliation to rally the people.
   F16’s would have zero chance of getting within range to bomb Iran. Israeli missiles likewise. The response from Iran would end Israel. Iran have demonstrated on numerous occasions that they have excellent air defence and missile technology. Remember the 11 miles high $200m drone that they took out a few years ago for briefly violating their airspace. The US were shocked that Iran had this capability, especially after years of harsh sanctions on the Iranians. All of their capability is Iranian produced and developed. This demonstration once again carried a bigger implied threat than the attack itself. Iran have, as usual, once again given a perfect measured response that carries an unmistakable message.
     It is a game of high stakes chess, David. At the moment it appears to me that all of the attacking moves available to the West have been nullified by the collective resistance to Western Imperialism. Like when you play ngb

The world did feel safer. I don't know whether that was an illusion.
   I’m in two minds about this, Roch, leaning towards illusion. Some of “Trumps” actions in office were equally acts of war and brought us to the brink. The murder of Iranian General Soleimani in Baghdad being probably the most egregious of these actions, in my view. The Iranian response on that occasion was to strike two US bases in Iraq with a volley of pinpoint missiles. “Trump” vowed, “if a single hair of any US personnel were harmed that Iran would be obliterated” or some such. As it turned out over 100 US personnel were injured as admitted by the U.S. after some weeks.
    Even this string of events allows for some ambiguity however. The US or “Trump” didn’t respond to the Iranian attack, which was a direct attack on US personnel. The fact that the Iranian response was legitimate was not a factor in the US non response. Whether this restraint by the US or “Trump” was because of “Trump” or informed by other factors is where some ambiguity lies. I don’t really believe it matters who the US president is. US restraint was more likely because of the demonstration of power by Iran and the obvious threat to all US bases in the Middle East should the US escalate. The US bases were hit only with missiles using kinetic power to damage the two U.S. bases, that is no warheads on the missiles. The implied threat is apparent to all.
     That is why I refer to Trump using inverted commas-I’m not sure that even Trump has complete agency to act unilaterally.
     I believe the damage is extensive at the two Israeli airbases and likewise with the attack on the US bases, there is a much larger implied threat waiting in the wings should Israel choose to escalate.

He could have asked his defence lawyer to ask him about The Sea Wall.

Although had the option to say it couldn't be cycled after being accused that he did.

But the TikTok video is better late than never.

In fairness it may have been mentioned in direct with Rivlin.

No transcript survives, and I have made enquiries. The coa of 2002 reference the fact.

That's not how a cross examination works. If you are not asked you don't  answer. Believe me from experience

You got in the stand you do direct by your own counsel, then you are crossed. ( Prosecution )

The cross transcript is on here which I provided.

He wasn't asked. He can't just go off tangent. He is there to answer questions.

If he starts rambling about something which is not what he was asked the judge will scold him and tell him to stick to what's been put to him and answer the relevant question from the prosecutor.

There's nothing in his interviews about the sea wall.

Whether it's in the direct by Rivlin I'm not sure as no transcript has survived the test of time.
