There were no protests about moving, nobody was forced to buy a season ticket at the new stadium. The club (as a whole inc the fans) chose to move. They actually did a survey and people wanted to move.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22525290
"West Ham's relocation from Upton Park to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford has been backed by 85% of fans in a poll of supporters.Nearly 12,000 Hammers fans took part in the survey conducted by independent pollsters SMG YouGov.
nobody was forced.Those that supported the move did not actively pursue a move, that was the Club not the supporters - you're rewriting both what you said and history too! That poll was done once the decision had already been made the decision wasn't based on the Poll. Even Sullivan himself said that half of the supporters probably don't want to move. The poll was always going to be worded to bend the result as all polls issued by the Club.Nearly nine out of 10 match-going West Ham United supporters oppose the club’s proposed move to the Olympic Stadium according to a supporters’ group. WHU’S VIEW? polled 2,431 fans before the club’s April home games against Birmingham City, Brighton and Hove Albion, and Hull City.The poll asked: “Based on all available information do you agree with West Ham United’s proposed move to the Olympic Stadium?” 13.4% said ‘Yes’, while 86.6% said ‘No’. The results have been sent to the London Legacy Development Corporation, Mayor’s Office, FA, DCMS, and West Ham.You could easily pull apart the scope of the poll and the source............ but its really not worth it.
Its pretty simple - If so many people were forced then where were the protests? where was the outrage? the boycott? none of it happened because most were happy for the club to move forward.
and all of this because you cannot admit that the analogy you posted up was a poor one. you carry on twisting yourself in knots instead of just admitting the analogy doesn't hold. Or you can carry on throwing at insults at anyone who disagrees with you. Take your pick.
i'm fairly confident that when i turn on the news tonight, or read the news online, nobody will be comparing Trumps plan for Gaza to West Ham moving to the olympic stadium.
Yeah I agree why would anyone be talking about West Hams move to the new stadium - so now based on your definition analogies need to be current and in the news and exactly the same as the situation you are comparing them too, do you have any more criteria that need to be met in order to validate an analogy before its use? I'll definitely be coming back to you next time!
You seem determined to be proved right about something to prove an analogy incorrect when the point is the Trump plan is bonkers and will never happen and why should the Palestinians move out of their home - my point to you was you don't really understand analogies which is still clearly the case - no matter what you say, you don't understand the use of explaining a scenario by using a simpler analogy to make it simple for the hard of thinking - unfortunately you are clearly thicker than even I thought maybe I need to draw you a picture - do you have your crayons with you or have you eaten them all?

Good to see the UK thriving under the new government.
The BoE slashed its UK economy growth forecast to 0.75% in 2025, down from a previous forecast of 1.5%. Inflation will rise to 3.7% later this year, driven up by rises in gas prices.

How analogies workAnalogies compare two things that are otherwise unlike.They are based on the idea that if two things are similar in some ways, they may be similar in other ways.Analogies can be used to help people understand abstract concepts by comparing them to something more concrete.
The analogy and the point I was making wasnt about your homeland being bombed it was about being forcefully moved against your will to a new home, slightly tongue in cheek I admit, comparing it to our move to the London Stadium.
Do you get it yet? No I didnt think so a bit too much for your timy little brain to comprehend. Even if you did understand now you are to embarrassed to admit it.Hahaha yeh you’re definitely proving yourself to be waaaaaay smarter than me here.
As pointed out to you by literally everyone on here, your analogy doesn’t work. Instead of admitting that you’re throwing around insults and desperately clutching at straws to make it relevant. Like I said, you carry on making yourself look ‘clever’.
You cant help it if you don't understand how analogies work. Yeah you are making me look clever by making yourself look stupid but then you are probably used to that. I suggest before entering into any grown up discussion you should try checking what you are going to say first.
"Literally everyone on here"
Now you dont understand what literally means! ffs Goose how thick do you want to look!
No one except you has said it doesnt work but then you didnt understand the concept and Im guessing you still dont.

No easy answer indeed. However,it would be a big step forward if Hamas stopped using schools,hospitals etc as storage sites for arms. They really do put a higher value on death than we do on life.

The place is in ruins, who’s gonna rebuild the fucking shit hole?
Obviously you don’t want the U S, so who Billy?
Howling do you want these people to suffer ffs?
Personally I don’t give a shit, I know one thing the US tax payer ain’t gonna pay for the rebuild, so who Billy?Oh so now you dont want them to suffer having bombed them to oblivion. Thats kind of you.![]()
If you'd actually read what I said resettling the Palestians is not a new or stupid idea. Yes Gaza has been levelled and the ordinary Palestinian should not be living in the rubble of a warzone, nobody should. So offer to resettle them temporarily and rebuild Gaza using the funds from the rich arab states and the US and make Isreal pay reparations. But suggesting that the USA should own Gaza in a land grab force all Palestinians to leave and then to turn it into a billionaires playground of condos probably developed and owned by Trump and his cronies is frankly insulting to all Arabs and can only be an attempt by Trump to get someone else to come up with a more palatable compromise because it is the most ridiculous of suggestions!
Hey I hope thats the outcome and maybe this is just a distraction from the utter chaos of his first 2 weeks in power.
Hey look over there... !!!!!!!!!!So Trump so far is the only one who has come up with a possible solution, while everyone else is sitting on their hands as per. Doesn’t seem like the countries surrounding them care too much to help and Lebanon is 60 % Palestinian apparently, what does that tell you?
Trump, if nothing else has laid the table, now let’s see how much the other Arab nations care to invest in Hamas. I think you’ll find it will probably be the Iranians, only problem is, they’re about to go broke.
personally I think Trump said the U S will take over Gaza to trigger the other nations to finally step up. One tac tic Trump always uses is positioning, he always sets any negotiations up with strong positioning. This is no different.
As I’ve said Hamas attacked Israel, they fucked around and found out, Israel has every right to protect itself and its citizens. So fuck knows why you’d expect Israel to pay a penny towards any rebuild.
Trump has made it clear the U S is no longer gonna be involved in nation rebuilding at the expense of the U S tax payer, so let’s wait and see what happens.
in the mean time we can all sit back and watch them live like rats in the rubble. Let them wallow in prolonged misery and disease, perhaps they’ll think twice next time.
Although if you have nothing to lose then the chances of it happening again will be much higher so not sure that’s the best option.
But it is their rubble so good for them.
And Rubble is what they asked for how fucking stupid.
So now you do want them to suffer. Nice! Your true colours coming through. Women and children are just cannon fodder yeah and they are guilty of what!
Isreal should pay reparations because of the war crimes that they have commited as per the UNC. You do know theres an arrest warrant out for Netanyahu.
I know Hamas started this war but Isreal cant defeat them by trying to remove/destroy Palestinians theyll still find ways to retaliate from Iran and Syria. Its a futile waste of lives.
There is no easy answer. But I keep reiterating its the way Trump has landed this that has caused the uproar. If he'd angled to look like aiding the Palestinians instead of a land grab and development profiteering maybe more countries would buy into it and if he was successful maybe he would get his Nobel prize that he is looking for.
Like I said its not going to happen.

Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
Speaks volumes about modern society that so many people are losing their shit because a leader is making good on the promises he made to the electorate whilst campaigning. Really does heap huge amounts of shame on our 'leaders'.

The use of an analogy is not to exactly replicate the scenario (that wouldn't be an analogy would it) its to make the scenario simpler to understand for the stupid among us.An analogy is a comparison between two things to show how they are similar.
There’s no similarity or parallel between Gaza and West Ham moving stadiums. That’s the point. But you carry on grasping for some of you wish.There doesnt have to be an exact similarity on every fucking level otherwise it would be exactly the same.
How analogies workAnalogies compare two things that are otherwise unlike.They are based on the idea that if two things are similar in some ways, they may be similar in other ways.Analogies can be used to help people understand abstract concepts by comparing them to something more concrete.
The analogy and the point I was making wasnt about your homeland being bombed it was about being forcefully moved against your will to a new home, slightly tongue in cheek I admit, comparing it to our move to the London Stadium.
Do you get it yet? No I didnt think so a bit too much for your timy little brain to comprehend. Even if you did understand now you are to embarrassed to admit it.
Hahaha yeh you’re definitely proving yourself to be waaaaaay smarter than me here.
As pointed out to you by literally everyone on here, your analogy doesn’t work. Instead of admitting that you’re throwing around insults and desperately clutching at straws to make it relevant. Like I said, you carry on making yourself look ‘clever’.

I think you’ll find Jaan is referencing the breaking news that USAID was found to be funding the BBC and Politico to go after Trump and the republicans. Today for the first time ever Politico didn’t pay its employees. You’ll probably see a few more instances of those type of stories now that USAID funding has been suspended.
Pam Bondi was just sworn in as AG and she has suspended federal funding for sanctuary cities.
Trump signed an executive order preventing men from competing in women’s sports. So we won’t get to watch a man beat the shit out of women again in the next Olympics in Los Angeles.

It’s not a theory it’s a fact. There is proof of censorship over Hunter Biden’s laptop, and Covid on social media. Politico have this week been proven to be funded by USAID and since the clamp down haven’t been able to pay their staff.

I appreciate that is exactly what Isreal wants to happen now but dont you understand thats exactly why the Palestinians wont leave because they will never get their homes or their land back if they do. Unlike you that fucked off to be a redneck dork in the good ole US of A, they treasure their homeland however much its been bombed to oblivion.
You are happy for the Isrealis to recommence the genocide and to boot the Palestinians out of Gaza then out of the West Bank. Is that the end game you are looking forward to? But you do realise that wont end it even if upur wildest dreams did come true - it would start all over again. But as I keep saying it wont happen.
First off the only reason the place is in rubble is because Hamas attacked Israel, let’s remember that shall we.
The place is in ruins, who’s gonna rebuild the fucking shit hole?
Obviously you don’t want the U S, so who Billy?
Howling do you want these people to suffer ffs?
Personally I don’t give a shit, I know one thing the US tax payer ain’t gonna pay for the rebuild, so who Billy?Oh so now you dont want them to suffer having bombed them to oblivion. Thats kind of you.![]()
If you'd actually read what I said resettling the Palestians is not a new or stupid idea. Yes Gaza has been levelled and the ordinary Palestinian should not be living in the rubble of a warzone, nobody should. So offer to resettle them temporarily and rebuild Gaza using the funds from the rich arab states and the US and make Isreal pay reparations. But suggesting that the USA should own Gaza in a land grab force all Palestinians to leave and then to turn it into a billionaires playground of condos probably developed and owned by Trump and his cronies is frankly insulting to all Arabs and can only be an attempt by Trump to get someone else to come up with a more palatable compromise because it is the most ridiculous of suggestions!
Hey I hope thats the outcome and maybe this is just a distraction from the utter chaos of his first 2 weeks in power.
Hey look over there... !!!!!!!!!!
So Trump so far is the only one who has come up with a possible solution, while everyone else is sitting on their hands as per. Doesn’t seem like the countries surrounding them care too much to help and Lebanon is 60 % Palestinian apparently, what does that tell you?
Trump, if nothing else has laid the table, now let’s see how much the other Arab nations care to invest in Hamas. I think you’ll find it will probably be the Iranians, only problem is, they’re about to go broke.
personally I think Trump said the U S will take over Gaza to trigger the other nations to finally step up. One tac tic Trump always uses is positioning, he always sets any negotiations up with strong positioning. This is no different.
As I’ve said Hamas attacked Israel, they fucked around and found out, Israel has every right to protect itself and its citizens. So fuck knows why you’d expect Israel to pay a penny towards any rebuild.
Trump has made it clear the U S is no longer gonna be involved in nation rebuilding at the expense of the U S tax payer, so let’s wait and see what happens.
in the mean time we can all sit back and watch them live like rats in the rubble. Let them wallow in prolonged misery and disease, perhaps they’ll think twice next time.

You really have no idea about world politics do you. Congratulations you are now a fully fledged American idiot!
You talk of corruption you dont think all this effort by Trump wont end up with him lining his pockets. If Biden is found to be corrupt, which I would doubt any truth coming out of the US right now, at least Biden had the grace to hide it instead of waving it in the faces of the US nation.Oh so you’re an advocate of letting them remain in the Stone Age.
