Until an official complaint of assault is made, “he fell over” is exactly what happened.

Wouldn’t be overly surprised if no complaint is ever made. For whatever reason.

Robinson... was contacted by a female BBC reporter for comment after the incident, but Robinson responded with a message that said "slag".

 

I heard he was just overwhelmed with how much of a bellend Stephen Yaxley Lennon is and decided to lie down. No more, no less. Nothing to see here.

Setting aside the stuff on banning porn because it is, as Finnegan said, Mary Whitehouse nonsense (and also wildly unworkable/open to abuse as we're seeing with the itch/steam stuff coming out as a result of Collective Shout in Aus trying to force payment processors to effectively sensor stuff by not allowing payments, leading to not just porn games being blocked but also e.g. writings by victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse), extreme porn is a massive problem which is made worse by this sort of law, not better. Like previously what were teenagers gonna do, end up on pornhub, lie about their age and see whatever ends up on the front page there. Now, they're gonna end up bypassing it through things like TOR and just end up seeing stuff which is comparatively far more extreme. 

 

The entire set up is a data breach waiting to happen and is laughably easy to bypass (I've seen people getting verified on discord with death strandings photo mode), and doesn't really improve anything compared to the far less invasive and better solution of parents actually doing some parenting rather than giving their kids an iPad and leaving them to it.

I'd make a joke about the toilet cops being round soon to verify but it's frankly just depressing reality at this point.

That's up to him and the fuzz, and how anxious they are to talk to him, I would think.

If he doesn't have to, the police can do one, as far as i am concerned.

It seems that at this point the Canadians should just have a generic "go play with the traffic, tossers" response ready to go for practically every diplomatic interaction they have with the uncouth neighbours to the south. 

I agree but also think we all need to tell them to do one.

 

The world is bigger than just the USA. No doubt we will have pain and it's a very complex issue. I don't want to work with those cvnts anymore though and am done with them and this current administration . The less interaction the better. 

 

Canadian pride and dignity is kicking in and this is an emotional response of course.

 

Elbows up, just hope our leaders don't cave so much (likely will for now). Sigh.

Oh look any excuse to play hard eh?

 

What a cvnt. Heaven forbid we want Palestinians to have a country,  land, identity etc.  Goes to show he doesn't give a shite about them.

 

Like many of my fellow Canadians who have balls, I will boycott a much US product/services as I can. I have been anyways but will get even more militant about it.

Believe me, I want to see them become a pariah state in the eyes of as much of the world as possible so long as they pursue this ridiculous "might makes right" nationalist bollocks, because that would in itself show just how deeply flawed that entire idea is. 

 

The UK needs to treat them like any other neutral-to-hostile belligerent on the list, rather than as anywhere near a friendly.

You're right, it won't. 

 

And what will also happen and be right will be the negative judgement of practically every near future generation for all the international consequences that result as a result of that mindset. 

 

They'll put the blood on the hands of everyone in a democratic nation who didn't do enough, and they'll be right to.

see, the issue there is that the UK would very quickly find itself getting the same treatment, because Britain has firmly established itself as basically the 51st state.

Hopefully, there may still be time to talk with places like Canada, Australia and various European nations to avoid that fate.

I also notice that Mdme Leavitt no longer wears her crucifix at press conferences with regularity.

 

Perhaps that's because might hiss and burn when it touches her skin during such events and she doesn't want anyone noticing?

She’s lent it to Stephen Miller, as he’s mislaid his Iron Cross.

The poisoning at some children's lodge in Leicestershire appears very suspicious..; much rumours online as to why can't speculate about it.

Her name only belongs in “birds you fancy off the telly” thread.
