  1. A brief search of English regional news returns examples of peaceful St George celebrations took place across England. You’ll find these reports include participation by people from all parts of the community, but especially civic organizations, school kids, the scouts and girl guides, veterans, women and children, old and young. All celebrating the many wonderful things about England and all a-political. The Rally that is the subject of this thread was not one of them.
  2. It’s a fair point. After all St George’s day is celebrated in a whole lot of other counties Including: Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Georgia, Kosovo, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Catalonia, Aragon, Brazil. I wonder if the citizens of these countries residing in London would have been welcomed at this particular ‘Rally’.
  3. Indictment v NYT opinion piece. I’ll go with the indictment.
  4. There are local election in May and a general election due. There are a range of political parties contesting these elections. Voters have a choice.
  5. I didn’t say you wrote that. You posted the opinion piece. When you post an opinion piece in this discussion forum you invite discussion on your post. I responded with a correction, adding a quote from the indictment (not an opinion) and a link to the indictment (also not an opinion).
  6. Says the indictment, the original document of which I quoted and provided a link to.
  7. Not quite the full story. What Defendant Trump is charged with is recorded on the indictment. The wording of which on each count details fraud with intent to commit other crimes. Felonies. https://manhattanda.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Donald-J.-Trump-Indictment.pdf
  8. And then, in a gift to Prosecutors, the fake electors signed the false statements on the fake documents and submitted them to the Federal Government for safe keeping. I’m sure not the brightest The Grand Canyon State has to offer.
  9. Do you have anything to say about the topic of this thread? St George's Day rally in London descends to chaos: Protesters slam Met's 'two-tier policiy.
  10. The vast majority of threads in the World News Forum are discussing American topics. Your baseless guess are not helping you make any on-topic comments are they?! Refer too of this thread for the topic under discussion, it’s not me.
  11. This isn’t a popularity contest. …… St George’s day, an opportunity to celebrate many of the wonderful and admirable things about England. Turned into barging through police lines, animal cruelty, abusive remarks and right there in the middle of it, the rightwing carpet bagging duo, convicted fraudster ‘Yaxley-Lennon’ and erstwhile rather good actor Laurence Fox.
  12. I don’t see anything witty about any of this, I think it’s deadly serious. Charging through police cordons, animal cruelty, abusive remarks. It doesn’t look at all humorous to me.
  13. I know nothing of the sort. Laurence Fox gets three mentions in the OP. I know him as an actor, or at least from when he was an actor; I believe he’s ‘resting’ these days.
  14. But Laurence Fox does get a mention, so he is part of the topic. And I was only offering my admiration of his acting abilities, particularly when playing a right wing extremist.
  15. More baseless assumptions on your part. Here’s the bit you are missing: Topics of discussion on the forum are open to anyone to comment on the basis of one single qualification, that they are members of the forum. Having corrected you in that matter. Do you have anything to say about the topic under discussion?
  16. Being afraid of your own imagination must be a terrible burden. Where ever you go, your frightening imagination is there too. You have my sympathy, it can’t be easy.
  17. There are some very strong rumors on the matter of Trump with girls and of course his attendance at parties at the Epstein residence, but I would draw the line short of making that particular claim.
  18. Laurence Fox puts in an appearance, something he’s not done in the world of acting since 2022. I feel that’s a shame, he was a rather good actor. Many admired his portrayal of ‘Hathaway’ in the TV series ‘Lewis’. It was indeed a good bit of acting but to my mind nowhere near as good as his portrayal of a WW2 British Fascist and Nazi sympathizer in ‘Folyes War’ - A truly inspired performance, his characterization seemed absolutely believable.
  19. They were forcing themselves through a police cordon. And there are lots of ‘openly English’ people who are not ‘white’. St George by the way was from what is now Turkey.
  20. A point of view that ignores the political debate within the U.S. Then as now with isolationists and appeasers on one side those supporting US allies on the other. And.. The supply of those essential weapons material and food was delivered at huge cost in the lives of American seamen.
  21. Russia were not fighting to ‘save Europe’.
  22. I know what I’m hoping will be the main take away.
  23. It’s not the credibility of the National Enquirer that matters. It’s the credibility of Pecker’s testimony under oath, back as it is with receipts.
  24. I think it’s one of those issues that enjoy broad bi-partisan agreement.
