Crazed weapon hoarder with previous protests about crazed weapon hoarder with previous.

 

I wonder why a father of 2 lives alone with his dog?

I feel this was pretty inevitable before they even won and probably would be whoever was PM, in fairness. The own goal was whoever at Labour HQ decided the campaign message in the last election should be that Labour would fix the economy at all let alone within weeks of them taking office.

 

They were getting in with a sizeable majority anyway because the country was just rightfully fed up of Boris and his cabinet of corrupt and incompetent Brexiteer yes-men that had ****ed the country on Leave and COVID.

 

Labour didn't need to and shouldn't have really said much other than "we're not them." But they made unrealistic promises to fix pretty much everything and gave the opposition all the ammunition they've needed for pretty much Starmer's whole term to date.

 

Not that I particularly think he's a sensational PM but I do think he'd have looked a lot better with much different expectations. The country is ****ed, it'll take generations to fix, nobody is doing it overnight.

 

The problem is instead of using their majority to actually make some positive changes and facing the reality of where we are, they are doing very little, and not even taking the argument to the factions of the labour party.  Its so depressing.  Surely by now they can see they are heading for screwed and might as well do something.

They're doing decent stuff but not much of it's very showy, that's the problem.

 

Seeing a doctor has become much easier where I am since they got in, for example.

No I didn't say the police were racist, I said they assumed Henry had been racist on the say so of Digwa and his family. They turned up to the scene and immediately handcuffed a young man who was on the floor clearly in distress based on what? Its not like he was even resisting arrest on the count of him being on the floor bleeding out. But the safe option for the officers is to arrest the white man on the say so of the Sikh men

 

To tell him "I don't think you have mate" when he's repeatedly telling them his been stabbed is gut wrenching

 

Other witnesses also confirmed to the officers that he'd been stabbed but they didn't seem as concerned about that little part

 

 

My apologies jumped  in too quick on the racism accusation.  However this also has no relationship to race at all,  in this case the perpetrator phoned in to allege an offence had taken place,  it is irrelevant what offence that was,  when corroborated by others on the scene,  it would not be unusual for officers to attempt an arrest.   It looked to me in those early stagers that he was resisting arrest and was acting as if intoxicated,  not unusual in stabbing cases.  

 

Where I do agree is that the officers were way to slow to recognise the man was in real distress.   I would suggest you read the summing up of the judge if you want to get a balanced view of the actions of the officers involved,  after all he has heard and seen all the evidence,  we have not.

Where is all the news about white on white crime, or black on black, or Asian on Asian?

 

These are the most common crimes, but you'd never guess that from the media.
