If the CEO of a bricks and mortar business were permitting others to engage, within his facilities, in the illegal trades of narcotics drugs, weapons, money laundering and pedophilic material, who then would question the legitimacy of his arrest?

My goodness, what kind of mind would dream up such a disgusting thing?!

Merge this with the Taliban thread, the trajectory is the same.

So the survey was conducted before and up to Harris’ formal nomination. I therefore does not reflect response to her nomination or response to the convention. Pols in the next two weeks will be more instructive of public opinion.

No they were not, they were within their stated degree of confidence.

I do hope that wasn’t an accusation confession.

Bit of myth making there Jonny. The nation was in a hell of a worse state when the Tories were just kick out office than was left to them by Labour in 2010. Taxes are now at their highest rate since WW2, but oddly the bulk of the tax burden is being g paid by those hard workers you mention, the hyper wealthy and corporations are making off like bandits. Your immigrant thing, same old same old. Some pensioners, those with sufficient incomes not to receive additional means tested benefits will no longer get a wi yet fuel allowance, this is by no stretch of the imagination all pensioners. I wouldn’t introduce your own ‘professional standing’ into the discussion, it might not holdup to scrutiny.

Has it occurred to you that Labour had no sight of the problems the Tories had made until they entered office and opened the books?

And you know this because they told you…. Silently.

Oh so now you know details of how I live my life. Or you wasted time imagining them to be what suits your point of view.

The budget is going to be an eye opener.

Free trade access to the whole of tge EU was a big incentive for companies to set up in the UK…. Ooops!

Ah, the simple solution to a complex problem. Starve the nation and it’s economy. That’ll work….. maybe.

I said it’s a police state, there is no discernible difference.

I’m sure you expect a lot of things that aren’t true.

Never been to China then?

Yes of course, a totalitarian police state. I expect that’s exactly what you’d like.

When you move into a house and find the previous inhabitants have gutted the place, smashed the utilities, removed the doors to let squatters in and left piles of crap to be cleaned up while having let their chums strip the lead off the roof and copper from the electrics - don’t even think about the water supply, and to top it off, antagonized the local neighbors before they left. Yeh, it’s going to be a tough job cleaning the mess up.

You’ve been reading Chamberlin again.

On the upside, she’s no long a teenager. The fixation some middle aged men have on her isn’t quite as creepy as it has been in the past.

Tsch. It wasn’t a betrayal of his financial benefactors, many the same hyper wealthy individuals who are funding Trump. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/02/robert-f-kennedy-jr-republican-donor-super-pac

And raked in $540 million in donations. The candidates have derive donations from different donator profiles, it’s worth looking to see who is supporting each; https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/25/kamala-harris-campaign-donations-surge https://www.opensecrets.org/2024-presidential-race

You perhaps need to think it through. It would be a really useful change in the law for those seeking to employ immigrants and control them with the threat of a police report.

Here’s odd. The bullet proof screen is obvious good idea given it was a Republican incel that took a shot at him. But why is Trump absolutely shtum on the matter of investigating the attempted assassination?

I’m rather pleased to hear Trump thinks being tough on crime is a good thing. Though I suspect he believes there must be at least 34 exceptions.
