    Maybe the US can gain control of those Rothschild-owned  space lasers Marjorie Taylor Green warned us against and use them to eliminate all such anti-semites.

    A fascinating conspiracy theory ????.

     

    This thread is about Ilhan Omar and her antisemitic comments though, so please stay on topic and avoid trying to deflect with whataboutism, good lad.

    The older lady who Harry lost his virginity to behind a pub has told her story  

     

    MY ROYAL ROMP 

    I’m the ‘older’ lady who took Prince Harry’s virginity. It was only 5 min, I DID slap his bum & I remember his underwear

    Funny that this "older woman" is actually younger than his wife. I'd imagine Markle isn't too happy about that ????.

     

    Good to see that he's confirmed his family (and Susan Hussey) aren't actually racist though. Better late than never.

    I would be interested to know what constitute ‘unilateral rebalancing measures’. Is is like at school where some big mouth tells you, ‘you’ll be sorry’ or is it a bit more serious such as bombing the UK? And are these ‘measures’ going to be applied to all the other countries in the world that don’t adhere to EU regulation.

    It's the EU so they mean more red tape and more trade restricting regulations. It will be against the UK only, they are still sulking about Brexit so like a dumped teenage girl don't expect logic, only spite and emotion. 

     

    The EU are led by the Germans so I don't think they would be prepared to take military action and be defeated for a third time. That would be most embarrassing.

    There is a separate thread where you can issue your grievances about Twitter and freedom of speech.

    This thread is about possible legal consequences for Twitter not adhering to employment laws or employment agreements.

    My post provided another example of failed legal attempts to get Musk.

     

    The other commentary was a side note.

    I’m presuming you didn’t understand this bit of my post:

     

     

    Now what was it you were saying about Hyperbole?

    What evidence do you have that Brexit is one factor?

     

    Given that some other countries (e.g. Italy) that remained in the EU have even higher inflation than the UK, all the evidence points to Brexit not being a factor - since countries that remained and countries that left both have high inflation. 

     

    The constant between the 2 countries appears to be Covid and the war in Ukraine.

    No it doesn’t.

     

    It demonstrates high interest rates, it doesn’t demonstrate the cause.

     

    By example, Germany was far more impacted by the war in the UK than was the UK but has lower inflation than the UK.

     

    There are multiple factors impacting inflation, BREXIT is one, denying this is facile.

     

    I presume you mean the war in Ukraine, not the UK. Or is that yet more hyperbole?

     

    Assuming you meant Ukraine, let's summarize your point. High interest rates in the UK are due to Brexit. High interest rates in EU countries are due to the war in Ukraine and Covid lockdown policies.

     

    Got it... ????

    Let me introduce you to the concept of ‘Institutional Racism’:


    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_racism

     

    Presumably you are referring to the Memphis PD as being institutionally racist?  The same PD in which the police chief is black and 56% of officers are black. I can imagine there must be a real culture of racism towards black people there!

     

    I can imagine a question in a few years on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

     

    "How many black cops does it take to commit a white supremacist hate crime?"

    A. 7

    B. 10

    C. 12

    D. 5

     

    Clearly the correct answer is 5.

    Not a lot Fox News and Tucker can do to spin this one. Disgusting murder of a black disabled man who was shuffling away from the police. 

    You fail to mention a few other things. For the sake of completeness, allow me to...

     

    1.   He was missing the bottom of both legs but this guy could still move fast. Watch the video.

    2.  He had already stabbed someone that day causing massive injuries and was still carrying a huge knife, presumably the same one he stabbed the other person with.

    3.  The guy had a huge upper body and could certainly do a lot of damage to a child, OAP, small woman, another disabled person that he encountered while fleeing police.

    4.  One of the 2 officers involved was also black. As in Tyre Nichols case, it seems to be common to mention that the victim was black but not the officers.

     

    Now I am not saying it was justified, far from it - an enquiry will be needed and the full facts will have to come out before we can establish that. My first thoughts are that a tazer could have been used but maybe it already had been tried unsuccessfully, I don't know. But for the sake of accuracy these factors I mentioned should not be ignored, deliberately or otherwise.

     

    I certainly wouldn't want my 76 year old mother to encounter this guy as he fled police.
