Rishi Sunak considers weakening key green policies
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Oh dear. So you don’t understand that Manifestos are only applicable to the election fir which they are formulated and published. I really do see the merits of introducing Civics in UK schools. -
Yes I did. I did not dispute he was attempting to ram his way out of a police road block: “But witnesses claimed the driver ignored police requests to give himself up and when he attempted to ram his way out of the roadblock, officers opened fire.” Please point out which bit of the witness accounts I have objected to.

Russell Brand and why the allegations took so long to surface
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The UK don’t execute criminals. He’s under investigation, he hasn’t been charged with any crime. It’s not at all unusual for sex abusers to commit their crimes over many years before being brought to Justice. The UK’s media sits on a spectrum between rightwing through to left wing. The allegations against Brand were investigated and exposed by both right and left leaning media. -

More conspiracy nonsense. Oddly, the media reporting allegations against Brand span the political spectrum. It might just be, and I’m putting this out there, that the serious allegations against Brand are newsworthy, especially given he’s famous. -
“The car he was driving was being investigated for gun crime the previous day.“ It wasn’t the car that was shot was it?! “Stop painting this as a man being assassinated on the way to buy a pint of milk.” I never even suggested he was in his way to buy a pint of milk, though he might have been, he certainly didn’t have any guns on his person or in the vehicle. Interestingly, you argue elsewhere that those accused of crimes should be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This guy has been shot dead for trying to evade arrest. Whoever would you bring George Floyd up? “We don't need your baiting in the UK” Thankfully the limits of your belief in freedom of speech don’t get to dictate to me, or anyone else, on where we get to express our thoughts on masters of interest.

Where is your evidence to back your repeated claims that Brand’s political views are anything at all to do with the allegations made against him? -

A bit of a false equivalence. Starmer hasn’t written any policy commitments into a Manifesto, presented it to the electorate and win an election on that manifesto. -

Maybe they are, maybe they are not. Meanwhile Rishi is U-turning again and shedding more Tory donors: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/sep/24/tory-donor-threatens-pull-funding-sunak-scraps-northern-hs2-rail-line -

Strawman alert, I never said it was a law. And no not an agreement between Tories and Labour but a long standing Convention between the House of Lords and the Government of the day. The Liberal Democrats, who have never won an election, might not wish to be bound by the S-A Convention, but it’s not for them them to implement, it is implemented by The House of Lords in deference to the elected Government’s Manifesto.
