Khan doesn't have permission/approval for a lot of things. Like the pro EU fireworks display at new year post Brexit. He chooses when he wants to break the laws and when he wants to pass the buck to the government so he can avoid doing things he doesn't want to do. He is a charlatan and a liar. Londoners have got what they deserve by voting him in. It's a cesspit. That's why educated high earners are leaving for the surrounding counties. Let them sink in their own swill.

Exactly. Biden is like one of those Sunday morning Rugby players who sees a fight in a match on the pitch adjacent to his and runs over to get stuck in.

NATO will be less important once Biden and his warmongering ways are out of the white house In November. Trump tends to have more of a "you mind your business and we will mind ours" mindset, whereas Biden seems to want to get involved in (and fund) pretty much every conflict he is aware of around the world.

Australian "soccer" captains shouldn't racially abuse policemen. We have standards in the UK. This isn't some outback watering hole where people denigrate Aboriginals. She's already admitted the racial part. It's only the other insult she is denying. Hardly. What's she going to get playing substandard "soccer" in Aus? 200 bucks and a lifetime supply of Vegemite?😄 She also tried to hide this from Football Australia. A deceptive racist as well as an entitled one. You guys sure do pick your captains.

I don't think objecting to being racially abused while at work is being "precious". I suspect if the role was reversed and the cop had racially abused the drunken, vommiting Sam Kerr she wouldn't have simply brushed it off either. I say press charges, it might teach the priviliged, entitled, racist brat some manners.

Khan tried to kick the can down the road and then reluctantly wrote to Rudd after immense pressure to do so. His request was to ban Hezbollah flags, not the whole march. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/12483/london-al-quds-terrorism Khan is now trying to rewrite history, in keeping with his consistently dishonest nature. https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/sadiq-khan-calls-on-home-secretary-to-fully-ban-hezbollah/

The Met are more likely to join in than cancel it. Welcome to Khan's London. What a time to be alive!

Of course it exists, the difference is that you are saying racially abusing a cop is normal/acceptable and I am saying it is not. We've all heard the special forces stories so forgive me if I don't take them too seriously. Usually starts like this... [Man in singlet walks into MeFriendYou bar in Pattaya]. "Sangsom with soda, shaken not stirred. The name's Croc, Ooollldddd Croc". 😄 Never been to Scunthorpe, but I did have a paper round in Bristol when I was 12. I'm afraid I can't give any more details than that, it's highly classified.

It was racist, pure and simple. If it was a white guy saying that about black/brown people you'd be calling them racist, bigoted etc. It is my job to report it. It is up to the authorities to decide whether they will/can prosecute or not. I did my job. They can do theirs. If they cannot prosecute this as a crime due to a legal technicality then maybe they will mark his record with a non crime hate incident which his future employers will see after the Scottish people remove him from his current position? They are actively encouraging people to report on others, so don't start crying when someone does.

If you think reporting racist language is wasting police time I wonder why you support the bill? That's what it is for.

The guy is power mad. A wannabe dictator. His vitriolic, nasty nature really shone through in the WHAITE rant. He hasn't thought this all through very well either. From later in that tweet... So he can't define hate and is leaving it to the police to decide. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with such a system? Absolutely no room for abuse of power there... 😄 What a clown (sorry if that is clownist but I don't believe clownism is one of the hate categories so I should escape 7 years in jail on that one).

For someone who thinks anyone objecting to racist language is being overly sensitive, you do seem very easily upset 😄.

It is not normal. You are trying to normalize it. There is no excuse for racially abusing police, nurses, firemen etc. Their jobs are hard enough without people making excuses for those racially abusing them while they work. Yes, and it won't be eliminated while people are trying to normalize it. If people were prosecuted for racial abuse they would be less likely to do it. I'm not saying lock her up and throw away the key, but maybe a fine and some community service cleaning up vomit from public transport (given her propensity for vomiting in taxis) and associated loss of face might make her think twice about her entitled, brattish, racist behaviour. Don't tell me... SAS? 😄 Actually don't tell me, because then you'd have to kill me .

Totally agree. In Scotland, probably nothing. Unless you misgendered one of the attending officers, or were guilty of being WHAITE in a position of power, then I guess 7 years for hate crime.

You deflection from the issues in Scotland re. the hate bill appears to be working quite well. Keep it going...

Glaswegian football supporters tend to insult 3 groups. 1. Other working class white people (opposition supporters). 2. Jews, sorry I mean "Zionists". 3. Catholics/Protestants. I wouldn't hold my breath for action from the police about hate towards any of these groups. That's not what the law is designed for.

Just Stop Oil have a history of endangering the public with their protests. Whether it be blocking people on their way to hospitals for emergency treatment, hanging huges banners over busy motorways etc. they are incredibly selfish and irresponsible. I see the sentence as one for endangering the public, not for protesting.

William Wallace clearly didn't see Humza Yousaf in his crystal ball 😄

Innovation? Like Xiaomi ripping off the Taycan? Hardly innovative.

Sounds pretty irresponsible to me. What if it fell off onto a truck's windscreen or a motorcyclist going under the bridge in rush hour? There are ways to protest without endangering the lives of innocent people.

Come again??? It will certainly go in the trash bin. We all know that. However, I can sleep at night knowing that I have done my part in reporting race hate as they requested. As someone who uses the term Gammon, you probably won't undertand that.

A bit like left wing "anti racists" who use the term Gammon to insult white middle aged men?

Watch the speech Chomps. It is what it is, racist. I didn't see anything on the website about not being allowed to report incidents before the law came into effect on April Fools Day of all days. If the law cannot apply, I would be happy with a non crime hate incident lodged against him. More than happy. Anyway I felt it was my duty to report such blatant racism when I see it, especially from someone in a high position of power.

Well, enlighten us all Chomps. Don't be a tease... What exactly does it suggest?
