...that's not how burden of proof works.

 

Someone making the claim needs to back it up, rather than just pointing out "hey, you can't prove it isn't true so it must be true".

Well you can, i smoke 20 cigerettes a day and each cigerette reduces my life by 5 minutes.

yes I know. I’m just wanting someone who claims the evidence is overwhelming to show us why he is making such a claim.

Well, you could argue the evidence is overwhelming due to lack of evidence to refute such claims.

are you able to provide us some direct links to this  evidence, please? I’d be very interested to read it.

There is no evidence of anything, only likelihood, no one actually knows, even the chinese say it was brought into their country.

The defund the police is not specific to the US and does still apply here. It is not about just cutting police budgets for the sake of it, but diverting funds from policing problem areas into community support, social services, youth services etc. Schemes that go the tackling the root cause of violence and not just throwing money at more policing to crack some heads together.

 

I think this also applies to some of the poorer areas of the UK, but we don't have the same ghettoisation as the US so whilst not directly comparable it is a sentiment that still applies.

This is more of a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul, surely the budget for the police is what is required for them to function. What is really required is an increase in community budgets.

This is the difference in mentality between England and Australia.

 

They soon complained in 1933

"Spirit of the game".

Do what you need to win.

Wish some of our players had that mentality last season, we wouldn't be in the championship!

Good idea, let go of the bat a couple of times aimed at the short fielders, get into em fvck em up! Not really sporting though is it.

Bairstow needed to be tuned in and focused.  A bit like when players are half asleep at free kicks in football. 

Footballers don’t play for 5 days, that’s where the spirit of the game comes in.

That was referring to his Duckett catch. 

Oh, I thought you were on about the stumping

They'll see it home. Well, Stokes will. Broad will basically watch from the other end.

Good

Just now, leicsmac said:

Yeah, he had to know it would have a negative effect.

 

Probably didn't know just how pissed off everyone would be, though.

Yes, if I was Broad I’d have been smacking the balls against the 2 silly fielders, and letting go off the bat!

That's what a decent keeper does.

What, wound the crowd and the players up? Probably been better off not taking the decision

If this pair can get down to 40 it’s gonna be exciting

I starting to get a glimmer of hope. See off Starc and Cummins and I might just start believing.

With Lyon’s out the quicks are soon going to get worn out

Thinking about starc’s ‘catch’ yesterday - looking at many of the claimed catches this series makes me wonder if the southern hemisphere have a different law re catching - ot they’re just cheats with the win at all costs attitude 

I know that in England you’re taught to catch under the ball and Australia they cup their hands over the ball, obviously depending on the height.

I've not watched the news today but I don't think I've heard much about all this.

 

nothing on Microsoft either 

 

crazy how the media works, people where all over the coup in Russia but this we hear nothing.

Probably because a coup in Russia isn’t going to start riots in the U.K.

Never understand riots. Smashing up your city and ruining local people and businesses. How is that going to improve anything? 

Well, you could get a new tele and a few pairs of Nikes out of it. I’ve seen one video of a couple of lads smoothing away a new lazy boy hot tub.

Tbh I have no idea what it's all about. I've heard jack shit from any of the protesters. Usually there's some form of demands from groups or something but I dunno.

 

If anyone has any ideas I'd like to know. 

For a start, the kid ain't a kid, he was known to the police for car offences, he got pulled in a merc with polish number plates without a licence, then tried to do a runner, no excuse for the police to shoot him though but you push your luck and somethings going to happen including kicking off a nation wide riot of north africans being pissed off with heavy handed french police.

Jeez imagine if the muricans got so angry every time a cop shot a kid. 

I don't think this is all about a kid getting shot by the police.
