No problem, I just prefer not to waste my time with Walter Mitty types, of which there are many in Thailand...

Yeah, somehow I thought you might have been . I bet you're a black belt in Karate as well .

You asked me where I was yesterday, so clearly you were interested . I had a lovely day thanks, better than bickering on here. You don't need to have worked for The Met to see that they are ignoring the hate speech of the Pro Palestine marches. In fact, I'd argue someone who has never been involved with such a pathetic, cowardly organization is in a better position to comment than someone who has. Don't tell me, after your long and storied career in fire fighting in the electric car fire thread, you were also a high ranking officer in the Met for 30 years for the purposes of this thread, and no doubt a member of the SAS while posting in the Ukraine war thread?

Awww it's nice to know you missed me. I was at the gym in the morning, a long lunch with friends at Wine Connection in the afternoon and then watched Last Stop Larimar on Netflix in the evening. Given the fact you follow me around the forum I'm surprised you haven't noticed I rarely post at weekends, only during office hours in the week. That's what happens when you have a social life. No ban for me. That's why I've had the same account for 16 years. Unlike you with a fresh one every few weeks. I stand by my assessment that the police are too cowardly to arrest the thousands shouting anti semitic chants or calling for Jihad, easier to go after a handful of counter protestors or some grandpa tweeting hurty words, or maybe another autistic girl who noticed an officer looked like her lesbian nana. Or maybe they could go back to shooting the dogs of a homeless man with mental health issues? Low hanging fruit and all that. The Met Police are utterly pathetic. An embarrassment to the nation.

A cowardly, politically biased police force that kowtows to a mob screaming anti-semitic slurs, calls for Jihad and the elimination of Israel has no right to police the UK.

Fortunate to get the result against Luton. Thanks to an easy run of fixtures they are now 6th, a very flattering position given their performances. A much tougher run in their next 4 games. Let's see if Ten Hag's luck holds out.

Braverman is absolutely correct. The Met police are a disgrace, ignoring the anti semitism, calls for Jihad and violence from the Pro Palestine mob while cracking down hard on the small number of counter protestors (which the BBC and the Guardian then focus their reporting on). Absolutely pathetic. Let's hope Sunak resigns and Braverman gets the top job. The UK needs strong leadership right now, not a weak lily livered PM like Sunak.

Not really tricky. Align with Braverman, defend the rights of the indigenous British people against colonization by hate groups, condemn the rise of anti semitism by minority groups, stop illegal immigration and win by a landslide. The only thing that might be tricky for Sunak is growing a pair.

Another thread title where the source is so easy to guess. Given the rise of anti semitism in the UK and across Europe let's hope Braverman stays in her position and the conservatives can stay in power for another term. The last thing we need is an anti semitic Labour government right now.

Yet you continue to support these hate filled, often violent and anti semitic marches under the banner of free speech. You are fooling nobody.

Your denial of the anti semitism at these marches and in the pro Palestine movement in general is both predictable and extremely unsavoury to moderates on the left and right.

I would estimate the numbers chanting such things will be in the thousands, if not the tens of thousands. Of course there will also be the calls for Jihad etc. Calls for the elimination of the state of Israel. And most likely violence if anyone counter protests or in the unlikely event the police try to arrest those guilty of anti semitic hate speech and incitement to holy war. This is what Chomper calls peaceful protest. Bless...

You mentioned the police stopped a black person. So of course I am going to think of black people who committed driving offenses. It was integral to the conversation since you implied the police were being racist. So you bring up race, you accuse the police of racism, you refer to an unnamed "black athlete" and then attempt to play the race card when I mention a black person in the reply . I actually referred to the MP by name, whereas you just referred to her/him as "the black athlete" so who is being disrespectful here? For someone who constantly race baits, you're really not very good at it.

Ummmm, you didn't mention which thread it was on until after I had replied. Anyway, I often don't bother checking replies from you, I find race baiting quite tedious. Now, go and troll someone else son.

I never mentioned Joe. You did. I mentioned the Biden family, which as I have already pointed out is the topic of the thread. Do try to keep up, it's really not that complicated.

What on earth are you on about? You mentioned an un-named black person in a car incident with the police so I assumed it was the Labour MP who lied and went to jail. I'm not a mind reader, so maybe it would be better to use people's names instead of referring to them as "the black athlete" and then assuming everyone knows who you are talking about. It would be more polite as well. Now, enough of your childish race baiting - let's get back on topic.

Well that's a tough one.

You might want to check the title of the thread.

I don't recall that post. Do you mean the Fiona Onasanya case, the black Labour MP who was jailed for lying about her own traffic offense? Not sure of the relevance either way, seems like you are going off topic in order to race bait...

Sure. Lots of crimes listed here. Convictions too. https://nypost.com/2023/06/24/biden-family-has-long-history-of-sweetheart-legal-deals/ Psycho troll? Hardly. Although I realize blinkered fanboys of the Bidens can get more than a little upset when their poor behaviour is called out.

We appear to be going round in circles. Mainly due to your gaslighting. I repeat, calls for Jihad and anti-semitic chants is not peaceful protest, it is hate speech which incities violence aginst Israel/Jews. The only way violence is avoided is if the police ignore the calls for Jihad and the anti-semitic hate speech. If they start to make arrests, violence will ensue.

Given that the previous pro Palestine marches have involved violence, anti semitism and calls for Jihad, it is perfectly reasonable to predict that this march will be the same. A leopard does not change it's spots. The only reason it is being allowed to go ahead is because the met police are a weak, left wing, lily livered organization.

What were they expecting? When you insert yourself into virtually every regional conflict around the world, these things will happen.

You are confusing fighting police and calling for Jihad with peaceful protest.

Of course. The Met Police are a left wing organization. So they take the knee to BLM, they dance at LGBT parades, they allow Pro Palestine crowds to march and chant anti-semitic songs. Some of their officers actually join in the Pro Palestine chants while on duty in uniform. They're hardly going to bend to anyone centrist or to the right of centre. No No, that simply isn't on their agenda at all.
