Mass Arrests Follow Violent Far-Right Demonstrations Across the UK
Will B Good replied to Social Media's topic in World News
It was the Tory government that developed this legislation. In the UK, the Conservative government has been actively involved in addressing the issue of online misinformation and harmful content, particularly through the Online Safety Bill. This piece of legislation, which has been in development for several years and is expected to come into effect in 2024, aims to regulate content on social media platforms and other online services. -

Trump, Abortion is no Longer a Significant Factor in Election
Will B Good replied to Social Media's topic in World News
"Americans want the freedom to choose what's best for their health and families. They don't like the government performing a pelvic exam, or tracking their menstrual cycles, or tracking their movement across state lines" And therein lies the huge contradiction they face....freedom, freedom....oh...but not that freedom, because we need the swivel-eyed religious loons, who want a total ban on abortion, to vote for us.......so much for separation of church and State. -

70 million seemingly hang on his every word.....I blame the teachers. If teachers, as claimed by Republicans, are all LBGT+ and communists...... how come half the grown up kids still vote for this m***n? -

Yes...he's right.....all those XXs out there....so dizzy...doh!.....will have forgotten how he single handedly overturned their hard fought for rights. -
I find it hard to reconcile the vitriol some posters have toward the UK police and how they would react if requiring assistance from them. Pound to a penny they would be the first to scream and demand police action for any tiny, little thing that upset their fragile little egos.

Harris emphasized that while she acknowledges their concerns, “now is the time” for a ceasefire deal, signaling the importance of a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. She underscored the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action to prevent further loss of life and to work towards a sustainable peace in the region. As Kerry famously said in destroying UK's Bunter at a live press conference.....It's called diplomacy

I'd like to see the Olympics return to something more 'normal'...'traditional*****'.....standard track and field events. It has developed into a money making opportunity, not a celebration of supreme athleticism. You could still have the other stuff, but hive it off. Maybe quite as far back as the original sports.....**** The original Olympic Games, held in ancient Greece at Olympia, are traditionally dated to 776 BCE. These early Games featured a small number of events, which gradually expanded over time. The original events included: 1. **Stadion Race (Stade Race)**: The stadion was the oldest event in the Olympics, a short foot race covering about 192 meters (the length of the stadium). It was the only event in the first 13 Olympic Games. 2. **Diaulos**: Introduced in 724 BCE, this was a double-stadion race, equivalent to two lengths of the stadium (approximately 384 meters). 3. **Dolichos**: Added in 720 BCE, this was a long-distance race ranging between 7 to 24 stadia (roughly 1,500 to 4,800 meters). The exact distance varied. 4. **Pentathlon**: Introduced in 708 BCE, the pentathlon consisted of five events: stadion race, wrestling, long jump, javelin throw, and discus throw. 5. **Wrestling (Pale)**: Also introduced in 708 BCE, wrestling was a key event where competitors aimed to throw their opponents to the ground three times. 6. **Boxing (Pygmachia)**: Boxing was introduced in 688 BCE. Contestants fought with leather straps on their hands and the match continued until one fighter gave up or was incapacitated. 7. **Pankration**: Added in 648 BCE, the pankration was a brutal combination of wrestling and boxing with minimal rules, allowing almost all forms of combat except biting and eye-gouging. 8. **Equestrian Events**: Starting in 680 BCE, horse and chariot races were added. The tethrippon (four-horse chariot race) was the first equestrian event, followed by others like the horseback race (keles). 9. **Hoplitodromos**: Introduced in 520 BCE, this race involved participants running in armor, carrying a shield, and sometimes wearing a helmet and greaves. It was meant to simulate the skills needed for combat. These events reflect the values of physical fitness, skill, and warrior prowess that were highly esteemed in ancient Greek society. The original Olympic Games continued to evolve and eventually expanded to include more events before they were abolished in the 4th century CE.
