leicsmac Posted 12 June 2020 Share Posted 12 June 2020 Looks like Stephen Miller is writing the speech for Trump regarding race when he starts campaigning again. That's like Peter Taylor writing a screed on successful management at Leicester City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will call out the far right twats when they cause touble, but the complete absence of comment from Khan on the violence which has already happened from the left, in favour of warning the far right not to join in is ****ing bullshit. Well yeah, again there’s a subset of berks within the left-wing protestors. But injuries in public containment happen regularly at football as well, wasn’t that long ago we all laughed at a Geordie trying to punch a police horse ffs. In protests you’re gonna get a core of nobs trying to cause issues. I don’t agree with it but it’s generally a given. Matters change a bit when a subset of the other side have been behind a rising number of genuine terror plots. I would also be worried less about a set of angsty students than I would a subset of far right agitators turning up with something a lot more effective than a rock or Boris bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course McCartney wrote about Penny Lane, and the Beatles released it, but I'll take the opportunity to say the Beatles were asked to sing to segregated crowds when they first went to America early 60s and, rightly, said no. It's becoming pathetic now though. I'm guessing nobody knows that street was (apparently) linked to slavery. Everybody knows it for the song.

"The move means insurance policies and health care regulated under the Obama-era Affordable Care Act can deny services (eg. medical treatment) to transgender people". Just so it's entirely clear.

Popular Post Aus Fox Posted 13 June 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 13 June 2020 Can we just agree anyone on the far side, be that right or left is usually a bit of a self centred tit who doesn’t want to listen to others and wants to promote themselves over their causes. The majority of people want to have a discussion, want to learn others point of view and sit somewhere in the middle. Most could be left for some political issues and right for others. Most people don’t want to harm anyone, we just want to quietly go about our business. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'm overly cynical but in the current system we have though I'm not sure how true the bolded is - or maybe it's just easy for those with power to abuse it and we get to hear it more because social media acts as an amplifier.

Gordon the Great Posted 13 June 2020 Share Posted 13 June 2020 15 hours ago, Finnaldo said: The difference is that Far Right terrorism is fast becoming one of the more prominent forms of terrorism in the UK, with plots generally including nass stabbings and shootings whereas left wing terrorism, if you want to call it that, seems to amount to a slaver statue being taken down (which even the Mayor of Bristol said was no great loss) and a couple of berks defacing a Churchill statue (badly) and acting up at a protest. Think it may be enlightening if you actually examine which demographic group in the UK is , in proportion, most likely to shoot or stab someone.

Ah, I see, thank you. Just wanted to be sure that we're not about to head down a road that considers one demographic or another to have an inherent predilection for such acts, because that's a pretty rocky road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, if you put any demographic into poverty, crime will occur. Why does Liverpool, a 91% white city have a historically high crime rate? Why does Scandinavia have such low crime rates, is it because of lack of diversity or is it because there is no class system and inequality isn't prominent? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth are you talking about demographics? It has nothing to do with the danger posed by Far Left or Far Right groups (both groups are full of bigots, just one a lot more willing to take it further). If your veiled point is that black people are more likely to be involved in violent crime: well done pal, now you can march with BLM and ask why a demographic is so prone to poverty that crime becomes endemic is some of their communities. Be the change you want in the world! 5 minutes ago, Lionator said: At the end of the day, if you put any demographic into poverty, crime will occur.
