I might agree, if that adage hadn't been so greatly devalued by being used mostly by people who don't want things to change.

I'm not entirely sure but isn't this council the one who accuse Britain of allowing the some of the worst child poverty.

Perhaps a few more countries should follow the lead of the US, then the rest of them might actually get around to doing something useful.

I think the key words are 'United Nations'.... not 'US and friends'.
Needless to say , it's another way of holding a gun to a head. Netanyahu is over the moon and back by the decision but he's off the planet anyway.

Fairly evenly balanced imo.

Failing that, is 'Muddy' a moderator or admin or some such ?

As a newbie you are targeting me in a most unfriendly hostile manner .
Have we met before ?

Re: US quits UN Human Righrs council

Nahhhh, just that irrationality bugs me.
No hostility dear, I assure you.

But still, I don't suppose you'd like to answer my questions ?

Re: US quits UN Human Righrs council

SO ..... we have established that you choose what is relevant or not here.
Just for my edification, does that apply to all threads or just the ones you start ?

Re: US quits UN Human Righrs council

What we have established is that a supposedly new poster has come on to the forum and has set out to make trouble .
Go and stalk someone else .
