  1. You perhaps aren’t aware of the range of benefits pensioners receive. Regardless, there are also large numbers of pensioners in receipt of personal and work place pensions, many with incomes above the average national wage income, taxing workers to give these people extra benefits they don’t need is clearly not tenable.
  2. And now Public Schools in NY will include the history of all those non white Americans. The horror.
  3. Are you sure? https://www.forbes.com/sites/philipsalter/2023/08/22/foreign-born-founders-behind-39-of-the-uks-fastest-growing-companies/
  4. Justice is coming: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/09/03/trump-federal-court-removal-hush-money-sentencing/75058465007/
  5. The only pensioners not getting the winter fuel allowance are those with incomes above the threshold to receive all other benefits. With over 100,000 asylum seekers left as a gift by the previous government, Labour have certainly inherited assisted costs. Foreign aid, that thing even the Tories understood was means to positively influence other nations in the UK’s best interests. There was already a prison over crowding crisis months before the election of this Labour Government, I only yesterday provided you a link to a report on the matter, so a bit of studied ignorance on your part.
  6. It’s been two months since the election, The Telegraph still haven’t got over themselves about the result. Gawd, just wait for their response to the autumn budget when it comes.
  7. The question is, does he have the backing of the British electorate? The UK being a sovereign nation with a sovereign Government and all that.
  8. Before reading the article, I thought to myself. ’I bet this is about the UK withdrawing export licenses for arms to Israel’/ ‘Withdrawl of the objections to the ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu ’ The Telegraph did not disappoint.
  9. The logic Trump’s supporters, both foreign and domestic, are fond of is, like ‘granny’s wheels’ circular. They construct a hypothetical situation and then argue with it, not realizing the source of the hypothetical and the argument against it are the both out of their own head. They just love arguing with themselves.
  10. The cesspit corners of the of the internet, the NYP and FOX News are renowned for such stuff. It’s an expectation.
  11. The shooter was interviewed by Investigators a year ago following threats he made online. His father, who since bought him a gun, said at the time of that investigation that his son did not have access to guns. His father has now been arrested and charged with second degree murder: “More than a year ago, tips about online posts threatening a school shooting led Georgia police to interview Colt Gray, then 13, but investigators did not have enough evidence for an arrest. “ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/sep/05/georgia-shooting-apalachee-boy-interviewed https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2024/sep/05/us-elections-live-kamala-harris-debate-donald-trump
  12. The Labour guy was all over the press at the time, a few weeks pass and he’s no longer all over the press. That’s how news cycles work. It’s not for me to ‘prove 2 tier allegations’, it’s not an allegation I make.
  13. I’ve already state I would like to see the child rapist sent to gaol, so a bit of a failed slur in your part. The CPS clearly didn’t get the prosecution of this self confessed racist wrong, they secured a conviction. She absolutely did admit to her racism: “The wife of a Tory councillor has pleaded guilty to writing a social media post intending to stir up racial hatred.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2910vrrygo
  14. I’m guessing gaol is a first come first serve kind of thing, but I agree someone needs to be held accountable for the prisons being over crowded long before rightwing racists went on their hate driven crime spree. Your opinion on her not being a racist is at odds with that of the CPS and her own statements, but I do accept you might have a higher threshold on what constitutes racism than does the law.
  15. The prisons were over crowded back in May before rightwing racist rioters and online hate mongers were being very rightly arrested, charged and found guilty of their crimes. A swift revision of your argument once its flaws have been pointed out you. Please name this martyr of yours so we can check the court reports to sew what he was actually jailed for. That you don’t see any racism is evidence of something but not evidence that she is not a racist. “She has been charged with publishing written material which was threatening, abusive or insulting intending thereby to stir up racial hatred or having regard to all the circumstances, whereby racial hatred was likely to be stirred up, contrary to section 19 of the Public Order Act 1986.” https://www.cps.gov.uk/cps/news/woman-charged-publishing-material-intending-stir-racial-hatred
  16. While swerving on the fact that the underlying problem is longstanding prison over crowding, you did notice the rapist is male and the racist is female?
  17. So not because a vile racist has been placed in remand having been found guilty of inciting race hatred, but because the UK’s prisons are over crowded. A problem that predates the current Government: https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/may/09/government-crisis-measure-prison-overcrowding
  18. Completely consistent with sowing conflict and confusion.
  19. Do you have a link to that particular decision? A link to the actual decision, not the allegation of the decision?
  20. For the record Jonny. I think child rapists should be imprisoned too. A pity someone sad idle for over a decade while the UK’s prison population grew to the point of over fill. Maybe more prisons should have bed. Built before the overfill occurred.
  21. In the Lucy Letby thread would be my guess.
