Pence calls for expedited death penalty for perpetrators of mass shootings
If there is no doubt about guilt and sanity, I have no reason to disagree with this. I'd also have it for killers of children.

Russell Brand: BBC and Channel 4 investigate allegations
Come on Chomper. Suspended. That is not cancelled. Even if they sacked him, that is not being cancelled. Being cancelled is when you are prevented from making a living elsewhere. For example if GBNews started a co-ordinated campaign to remove him from YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter etc. If GBNews called for any shows he was in to be boycotted. If GBNews demanded events he was working in to be shut down by protestors. Stop gaslighting. Suspending an employee for inappropriate conduct is not being cancelled. But you knew that already...

Why are you repeating this falsehood? They condemned his comments. They haven't "cancelled" him. Stop with this disinformation.

Russell Brand: BBC and Channel 4 investigate allegations
Disingenuous. Again. GBNews didn't "cancel" Fox. They simply condemned his comments. Correctly so, they were stupid. That is not cancellation. If they contacted other media companies like YouTube, Twitter etc. and demanded they ban Fox in order to prevent him earning a living, that would be cancellation. If they sent a GB News mob to his next public appearance to stop him getting on stage and demanding the show was stopped, that would be cancellation. But you already knew that...

Indeed. GB News does promote free speech. Somehow I'm not surprised at your pearl clutching at Fox's immature, unfunny joke. Maybe you could start a campaign to cancel him? Or better still, get GB News off the air? https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/09/27/the-real-reason-they-hate-gb-news/

UK economy ‘will shrink for two years as eurozone and US grow’
More doomsday predictions for the UK.???? Be prepared for a small, largely unreported follow up article in a year or so where growth exceeded expectations and forecasts have been revised. But not until the bitter Rejoiners have regurgitated all the old lies and cliches for pages and pages, such as the UK not returning to pre pandemic levels (another doomsday story later proved to be a lie). https://www.standard.co.uk/business/uk-economy-gdp-covid-pandemic-rebound-ons-figures-statistics-growth-recession-decline-b1104209.html Back in reality, it is the Eurozone that is struggling. https://www.ft.com/content/148adc6b-98f3-4655-a92b-913a232c9eef https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/19/recession-hit-germany-is-facing-a-flurry-of-global-headwinds-goldman-sachs.html

Cabinet split over Sunak’s HS2 ‘gross act of vandalism’
There is nothing racist, isolationist or insular about controlling/protecting your borders and respecting your own culture. I would support all countries doing it, not just the UK. Given her parents are of Indian descent who immigrated from Kenya and Mauritius, which race do you think she's against specifically?

Stick Your Mister Where The Sun Don't Shine
Indeed. Can you imagine if the hospital charged more for treatment based on the race/nationality of the patient and when sued, they were backed up by the courts and the government as happened in Thailand. It's deeply ironic that western countries are the most diverse, fair and accepting countries in the world while also being labelled as the most racist and xenophobic. We even "positively" discriminate against our own people for things like jobs and university places but it's never enough. I fear a massive backlash if this overreach is allowed to continue.

Stick Your Mister Where The Sun Don't Shine
I don't mind being called "Mister". I think they are trying to be polite and it's just their poor use of English. "Hey you, Farang" is the one that annoys me. I used to get it a lot when I lived in Phuket. If they were on their own (rare - they'd generally only do it when in groups) I'd reply "Hey you, Asian" and they didn't like it at all, proving they were well aware it was rude to address someone by referring to their race.

Cabinet split over Sunak’s HS2 ‘gross act of vandalism’
I wouldn't hold your breath. Much more likely she will start arguing against a position that you have never held and then call you a bigot for holding that imagined position. ???? I'm hoping Braverman replaces Sunak to be honest. Then all we need is for Starmer to forget what a woman is (again) and we can keep the war mongering, Britain hating, champagne socialists out of power for another 4 years.

Joe Biden makes history by joining UAW picket line
You're right Billy. But then of course Joe wouldn't get his photo op which is the most important thing here, so shut up and get behind multi-millionaire "man of the people" Joe Biden.

UK: Met police request support from army after officers down firearms
A guy with previous jail time for gun convictions, rams a police road block in a car that what used in a gun crime the previous day and it was all because he was black ????.

It's about Labour's brainchild, HS2.

Cabinet split over Sunak’s HS2 ‘gross act of vandalism’
Facts are facts. It was Labour's brainchild. The only mistake the Tories made was continuing with Labour's harebrained scheme. You act as though the result is a foregone conclusion. History tells us Labour will find a way to lose. God help the UK if they actually win one.

It was Labour's brainchild. Doomed to failure. Failure. It was Labour's brainchild. And where, pray tell, did I say he had already cancelled it? Oh that's right, I didn't.

Good move by Sunak. HS2 is a massive waste of money. I'd axe the whole thing.

UK: Met police request support from army after officers down firearms
Not indicating when turning left is a bit different to intentionally ramming a police road block. I'm not sure why you brought race into it. Baiting much? ????

UK: Met police request support from army after officers down firearms
I assumed the first paragraph of that post was sarcasm. Good to see you share my views on Floyd. Maybe read up on the criminal history of the guy shot by UK police. Similar characters...

Guns are not the only dangerous weapons. You ban guns, people use cars and vans like London bridge in 2017. Just be glad you weren't walking your child down the road while he was ramming the police roadblock in his Audi Q8. You might have had less sympathy for him. Same as you might have had less sympathy for Floyd if you were one of his many victims of cowardly crimes.

UK: Met police request support from army after officers down firearms
What would you recommend? Give him a warm glass of milk and a copy of one of Robin DiAngelo's novels? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He'd had already done 2 years for gun offenses. Now he is ramming a police roadblock in a car being stopped for gun crime the previous day. I would have preferred the shots were non fatal but when you take risks like that you take tour chances. He lost this time. Unfortunate. Next...

UK: Met police request support from army after officers down firearms
The police were not aware of that at the time. They had a driver who had previously been convicted of gun crimes, ramming them in a car that was linked to a gun incident the previous day. Why are you siding with the criminal ramming the police? Are you one of those Antifa defund the police types? (serious question not trolling).
-
UK: Met police request support from army after officers down firearms
Deliberately misspelling my name again? Pot. Kettle. Yes the defending of the convicted criminal Floyd and the defending of the convicted criminal in this case is a similarity I cannot ignore. Both suit your race baiting anti police far left agenda.
-
UK: Met police request support from army after officers down firearms
He was innocent until proven guilty on gun possession charges. You liberals pick some strange martyrs. Floyd is another criminal held up as some kind of hero. Leave your divisive race baiting in the US.
