What do you think of these people?

Timmy: How comes I can rock up on a dinghy in the UK and I'll be given free money, free phone and free hotel, yet when I tried this in Thailand they detained me and made me pay for a flight out of there. Thats unfair! A: It's called a border and all sensible countries have one and enforce it. Get a visa if you need one, arrive there legally, show your passport to the immigration officials, pay for your own stay there, and they will be far more welcoming.

So you cannot back up your claim that it is a racist post. Got it.

You said "Disseminating race hate online is a crime" and I am presuming you are referring to her post rather than giving out general advice about what crimes are. What did she say that was "race hate"? Genuinely curious as the link doesn't provide any information, just what she said in the post, which as I said is not even race hate.

Ok I'll play. What was racist about the post she made? As far as I can make out she confused a Pakistani flag with a Palestinian one. Is it racist to mix up flags now? I don't think so. Do Palestinians hate Jews? I think it is fair to say that Palestinian flag holders typically hate Jews. So what specifically did she do or say that was racist.

Why are you so excited about this? Who cares whether they went to speak to her about a "Non crime hate incident" or a "crime" about a tweet? It's just semantics. She isn't lying about the fact that she was visited by 2 or more police officers about a tweet. A tweet. When they have over 100,000 unsolved victim based crimes that need solving. The only crime that was committed was by the person who committed an actual crime (which is a crime), of wasting police time i.e the person who reported the tweet.

The person who should resign is the police commissioner in charge of a police force that is seemingly incapable of solving crimes, and choosing instead to send officers around to someones house for a tweet rather than charging the moron who reported her (for a tweet) for wasting police time rather than simply using the report button on the twitter page if he found the hurty words offensive

"Whataboutary" klaxon! It's not even whataboutary is this is related to the topic which is you will note in the topic mentions "Police priorities". So anyway I got the numbers wrong. They have actually received 127619 complaints where there were actual victims of crimes in 2024. They have solved just 13458 of them. So that means 114161 actual crimes with actual victims are unsolved! Yet they have the time to send officers to the home of a journalist about a tweet where there was no victim, no loss, no suffering, no actual crime. Like I said, if I was them I would probably keep my head down if these were the publicly available performance statistics they have on display, and certainly not draw even more attention to it. No they were not obliged to investigate a tweet, don't be ridiculous. They are not even obliged to investigate burglaries etc nowadays and do not even send officers to investigate those kind of crimes.

Weird how the Essex police are claiming some kind of moral victory here. They went to a woman's house on a Sunday morning to interview her about a "crime" about a tweet and arguing about semantics of why they were there, rather than what the real issue is that they are turning up to peoples houses as they are policing social media rather than investigating real crimes. They have certainly got enough actual crime to be getting on with according to their performance over the last few years: https://www.essex.police.uk/SysSiteAssets/media/downloads/essex/stats-and-data/recorded-crime-figures/2024/2024-05-district-data.pdf So it seems they managed to solve just 9.7% of victim based crimes in 2023, and just 10.5% in 2024, which means over 12000 victim based crimes from 2024 alone are currently unsolved. Once this number is closer to 100% and they have nothing better to do with their time then perhaps they can justify spending some time policing tweets and claiming some kind of moral high ground here. If I was them I would not want this story to drag on and let it die before others start noticing how badly they are performing.

You didn't wait for the full story though. Based on a partial transcript you have jumped to the conclusion that the journalist needs to get her story straight but not the police. Let's hope you are never selected for any kind of jury service where the full facts are important.

Think you need to get your story straightened out. The police have released a partial of the transcript. What was in the rest of it they didn't release I wonder and why wouldn't they just release the whole thing?

I doubt they are being any more prejudicial to a trial than someone of influence claiming people are "far right thugs" or "criminals" before they had even stepped into a court room. Even more reason to release all the information that can be released I would think, which is a sure fire way of stopping rumours.

Those rumours are non-stop at the moment. He is too weak and cowardly to come out and be transparent with the truth so those rumours are going to continue. The media are continuing to pretend there is nothing to see here and for once are not using social media as a news source. People are starting all their comments with "Imagine if..." or "in a hypothetical scenario..." so as to avoid the storm troopers at their doorsteps for spreading what no doubt have more than a bit of truth to them. He obviously had a different upbringing to me where he was taught to cower away and hide from a problem rather than stand up and face it. Maybe thats just how toolmakers bring up their children.

Do you have a link to the police video that you say has come out? Not seen this and would like to see it myself.

Are genocidal murderers allowed to claim asylum in another country to evade justice? Would Hitler or his disciples have been allowed to claim asylum in the UK and go live in Wales if he didn't kill himself? The media blackout on this case is something to behold. 3 little girls got murdered, 10 more hospitalized and no doubt still suffering the trauma of this and I am hearing rumours that people in Southport are being paid to sign NDAs so the truth doesn't get out. No stories about his father have seen the light of day, no current image of the murderous scumbag has been released, just the same artist sketch with him covering up the lower half of his face and photos of him as an innocent looking 10 year old. Parliamentary privilege has been withdrawn to prevent the truth coming out and I don't recall this ever happening before. There is something very sinister going on here.

Letting people keep more of the money that they work hard for and earn instead of going into the wasteful government pockets is bribery now? That is an interesting take. This is the beginnings of voter regret. You are on the pathway to joining millions of others who voted for or support Labour and have come to see the error of their ways. Considering that doing nothing is going to have the same impact on the climate as going back to the dark ages and living in mud huts, then yes, I'd say we can afford to do nothing. Paying extortionate amounts to import expensive oil and gas from far away so the UK achieves 'Net zero', whilst already having the highest energy costs in the world, and whilst every fossil fuel producing country reaps the benefits of this folly is utter madness.

It seems bonkers to me that there is a 2 month gap after the election where the outgoing president stays in post and the newly elected one cannot really do anything if the outgoing one decides he wants to set the world on fire.

The UK Labour government jetted over 470 delegates to this on the taxpayers expense. 470. They know they are despised and will be a one term government so they are going to abuse every single minute they are in power. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14091247/Keir-Starmer-Britain-delegates-climate-change-Baku.html

Things that are unaffordable: 1. Foreign aid 2. Public sector pensions 3. Net zero 4. Labour government 5. A bloated unreformed NHS 6. Debt servicing for the ever increasing borrowing. 7. Illegal immigrants and low or no skilled legal immigrants Letting working people keep a little bit more of the money that they earn in comparison is peanuts in comparison to the above. Labour lied before the election and they have done nothing but lie since the election. They are the definition of a one term government and are despised by the majority now, including the people that voted for them.

Zelensky said that Ukraine are an independent country and cannot be forced by the USA to the negotiating table, which of course is true. What is also true is that the USA is an independent country and it cannot be forced to continue giving Ukraine money for this war, which will in turn force the Ukraine (an independent country) to the negotiating table.

BlueSky are facing the consequences of having all these easily offended leftists join their platform who don't like to see opinions they disagree with. Seems like they are going to need a bigger moderation team. Also, the use of the word "triaging" as though they are working in A&E and are saving lives with their moderation

Starmer is making them all look extremely competent in comparison. I don't recall any of them being too afraid to actually answer the questions directly in PMQs like this coward of a man.

You seem to be implying that running an economy for an entire country is somewhat easier than the trivial task of managing a credit card, which she clearly wasn't competent enough to do. She also lied on her CV as well. https://order-order.com/2024/11/15/chancellor-caught-changing-linkedin-cv-after-economist-myth-exposed/ So apparently she was an "economist" at the Bank of England, then her next job was to work in a small complaints team within HBOS which managed administration, process, IT Matters and small projects and planning. Since no-one typically makes such a huge downwards move in their careers then either she wasn't an economist at the Bank of England or she was so terrible at that job she was removed from it. Results also speak for themselves as growth has shrank to 0.1% and I expect within the year there will be negative growth leading to a full recession for the UK. She is out of her depth in a job she is not qualified to do and lied about her qualifications to do it. She should resign.

They know its a scam. We know its a scam. They know that we know its a scam. Thankfully Trump and Elon Musk also know its a scam so maybe, just maybe, all those scientists that have had research funding paid for on condition to support this nonsense will be able to get their research funding without needing to participate in the scam, and scientists can start to be honest about the reality of climate change and how little it is affected by human activities, and no matter how far back towards the dark ages we go, no matter how much extra tax we pay, it will no more affect the climate than Canute affected the tides.

He is such a weak, cowardly man, an embarrassment to the UK and the position of Prime Minister. Why does he not answer any questions directly in PMQs? What is the point of the speaker position if he doesn't insist that direct questions get direct answers? A petulant child would be more suited to this position than him.
