1d2lemw | That’s the consequence of demographic and cultural change. Different stories, with no relation to the UK (its landscape and history), are being told or created. Personally I wonder how long it will be before Stonehenge becomes our version of the Bamiyan Buddhas or St Paul’s Cathedral another Hagia Sophia. Now for the outpouring of hate for another’s opinion! | 0 |
1c1mqfr | They are the one provoking me terror, we are gonna end up in a nuclear war because this crazy haters, doing to other people what their grandfather suffered. | 0 |
1d4rmlq | This is really about the reputation of the police.
I'd love to be able to assume that the police wouldn't set a dog on someone without good reason.
Unfortunately, that's not an assumption I'm confident making.
I think it's very plausible that a small proportion of police officers would be happy to set a dog on someone in an act of performative revenge. I think it's also plausible that a much larger proportion of police officers - probably most of them - would happily look the other way while that happened. I would expect this to be more likely if the guy had scorned the police officers involved, because they're extremely protective of their own hurt feelings, but that's another issue altogether.
I wish none of this was so. It's a tragedy. But police behaviour in the UK has not been wonderful for a long time and the result is a lack of confidence in their good behaviour.
The fact that this guy might be an absolute scumbag is irrelevant. It's the job of the courts to pass sentence, not the police. If they're shown to have acted properly, so be it. If not, they should be charged with crimes and imprisoned like anyone else would be, and the fact that they are usually shown to be (to all practical purposes) immune from the criminal law is a large part of the problem. | 0 |

1ctyga5 | So the article says we're he still alive he'd have faced criminal charges and I have to say I don't see the point. If they have evidence the choking was consensual, he clearly is distraught about what happened. Why waste court time and public money- he'd have had to live with it. Was the behaviour, in particular the drugs and shit reckless? Sure. But it was reckless for both of them not just one of rhem | 0 |
1bkceki | It’s a non-issue, a good start but what percentage of the billboards do they own ? Like I said definitely a good thing.
Time to start promoting allotments and educating people on growing and maintaining their own produce for property owners would be a massive step, which I do believe happened before (maybe not uk) and failed miserably. | 0 |

1d5vktv | The damage has already been done.
Just take a look at the ONS data on ethnicity of various places then take a look at school students with English as second language.
"But why is this a problem, are you just raciiiist?!?!"
Would anybody be this flippent if it was an ethnic minority this was happening to? In a couple of generations the English will no longer be a majority in their own nation.
I sometimes think that it's a kind of sick revenge against the British for empire, England and it's people must die for their great great grandfathers sins | 0 |
1d5l0pg | Let see if we can pull together a half competent cabinet before we go making any big decisions. I would love to rejoin, but pushing that now will just make the entire election about that, there are more important things to sort out first. | 0 |
1cvwflz | Agreed. I love this beautiful country. You can walk through nature and farmland for hours without having to encounter anyone.
Just surrounded by birds, butterflies and bees, with the occasional squirrel and frog.

1d4yakh | Everyone sucks in this situation, but it feels like justice was served.
Lloyds get bad publicity.
The family gets guilt and grief, because they didn't provide enough support.
Woman attacks someone weaker than her and the worst possible outcome happened. The sentence was fair and proportionate.
I get why some people are mad, I'm a black guy and I've had to show restraint all my life and walk away. I've been wronged several times, including being hit. I don't react because I know that I won't receive a fair and proportionate sentence, if a confrontation takes a turn for the worst. Life ain't fair and Kemi Badenoch would be championing my tougher sentencing. | 0 |

1bwgrlq | Yep. Not to mentions the privatised water companies pissing all their revenues out as dividends for pension funds in Canada and Dubai rather than reinvesting it in local infrastructure. Resulting in higher costs for customers. | 0 |

1bk83rc | When the democratically elected government by the people for the people don’t listen the people because they know we will not do anything. It is time to teach them a good lesson so no one will dare to repeat it again in the future. Are we going to do it? Short answer is NO
Police force has more time to mess around with peaceful protests than dealing with crime. Are we going to do anything about it? Again the answer is NO. | 0 |

1d5l0pg | The thing about Brexit is that it lets you hypothetically do a bunch of stuff that you can't do in the EU, like control migration, intervene to support heavy industry, and be a lot more explicit in insulting the French.
When Labour aren't campaigning to rejoin the EU, they can effectively attack the Government on their failure to do what they promised and what people wanted. When they campaign to rejoin the EU, the position flips, and the Conservatives can again make the argument to do all the stuff that they aren't actually doing.
The far more sensible strategy is to win power, demonstrate to left behind voters that the government is actually committed to helping them and can be trusted, and then explain why rejoining would offer this better than remaining outside.
Unfortunately, that requires a lot of work. A lot of remainers care enough to tweet, but get quite bored at the prospect of actually coming up with a good solution for the parts of the country they don't actually give a shit about. | 1 |
1ca5pfy | High grade civil servants are usually the result of decades of specialisation. You get a few that are generalists with a talent for administration, or who have the rare talents of being a good public speaker being able to motivate staff. They can nearly always step into the private sector for more money and are hard to get to return after. It's a huge loss of investment even not including the price of the courses they took over the years at Sunningdale, now a nebulous online virtual 'campus'. They only stay because the benefits usually balance out some of the poor wage (less so with 60%, constant efficiency drives) or because the work is for the public good.
Take away the concept of working for the public good and there's no reason to stay. When they all leave we'll be stuck with outsourcing, or the various consultants 'donated' by some of the worst people in the world. American Private Healthcare companies and evangelical anti-abortion activists mostly. | 0 |

1ca0v08 | I think some people are missing the broader points here of course through our situations such as football matches where fans are separated and it makes sense there is a larger issue here The larger issue is that these protests are portrayed as pure pro Palestinian peace protests and if that were true there would be no issue with someone who is openly Jewish walking amongst these protesters but the moment we see someone who is Jewish is targeted because they are Jewish it exposes the real agenda of some of the protesters and therefore and that is the issue here. | 0 |

1cys01q | Massive journal subscription fees are one. The library will actually be expensive to run with many textbooks costing several hundred pounds each.
Salaries of postdocs, PhD scholarships they will fund some of. Lecturer and professor salaries and pensions arent that cheap.
Lab equipment, maintenance of the more fancy machines usually come with expensive service packages. Consumables in the lab are insanely expensive as well.
Running certain courses are certainly expensive and from my experience in science, it's not cheap.
There are a lot of predatory business that charge universities extortionate amounts of money. Look up how much they pay annually to academic journals alone and I think you'll be shocked. | 0 |
1cbea55 | As i understand it, our courts have ruled the scheme illegal because of Rwandas proven dodgy record on human rights.
The plan itself, to send them to another country for processing isn't actually illegal so they should be able to find a safe country to do this.
Simply declaring Rwanda officially safe is insane, particularly as there are Rwandan refugees fleeing from Rwanda who have applied for asylum in the UK.
The Home office won't talk about this, but i suspect that the finances won't stand up for scrutiny and i suspect that the UK taxpayer has financed those Rwandan homes their government is currently selling off that Cruella Slaverman admired so much.
Rwanda is yet another black hole for taxpayer's money and the National Debt is about to hit £3 trillion. (£3,000,000,000,000).
It was about £1.1 trillion in 2010 when they took over.
If anyone is interested, i am setting up a petition to deport the Conservative party to Rwanda, it probably won't happen, but it will give the civil service a laugh.

1d5l0pg | > this is what happens when you essentially hand a toddler (more than half the electorate) a harpoon (supreme transformational change).
Yes, but let's not forget most of the blame is still with the government.
1. The referendum was not legally binding and the amount of people who came out against the result should of been cause for pause and more discussion.
2. They did not have to trigger article 50 straight away. Could of actually worked out what Brexit might look like and present that to the public before doing anything.
The referendum should of been, "ok the public want to leave EU. Let's see what that looks like". Not "the public want to leave the EU, let's go NOW" | 1 |
1cogq3r | When the anti white police and government say 'we urge you to stop speculating' this basically means a a terror attack by the religion of peace. I'm sure this guy just arrived off a boat not long ago and was on a day visit out from his 5 star hotel.
When the sword attack happened not long ago, that was clearly a display of poor mental health, but this religion of peace does it because Thier god says so. | 0 |

1by6vom | I met a Brazilian at work recently. He works remotely most of the time but made a visit to our country’s office.
I thought he was Spanish by mistake and I saw him on his own in the kitchen so I said *”hola”* using the very little Spanish I know (thanks Dora).
He was a bit shocked (like wow) but then looked at me and his face changed to confused looking, so I said *“oh no…are you not Spanish?”*
He replied *“no I’m from Brazil…but?…so?… you’re not Portuguese”*
I didn’t understand what he meant though so I asked him why he thought I was Portuguese.
He said *“your pronunciation was 100% Portuguese it sounded native so I was excited to have a colleague who was a Portuguese speaker but then I turned to see a small English girl (thanks) and you don’t even look 1/2 Portuguese it make no sense to me! Your *hola* in Spanish was pronounced very very wrong, but for Portuguese it’s perfect, I’m impressed!”*
We then laughed so much at the fact that my Spanish is so bad that I momentarily convinced a Brazilian man I was fluent in Portuguese.
Now we are friends.
So I think they have good humour and are forgiving. | 0 |
1d1c2rm | They were not going to win the young vote anyway. Does anybody know how old you’d have to be to have experienced National Service? The elderly seems to think it’s necessary for the youngsters but never experienced it themselves, and they would have us to believe that they turned out alright despite the fact. | 0 |

1d3x6ti | Know somebody in a trust. They had the new system in but it didn’t have the functions of the old system. Basically various tasks for onboarding and off boarding staff. So they went to the emergency plan. Got an external software consultant in who spent 6 months in the HR office taking plans and writing software. Spend hundreds of thousands. Went to implement it and NHS IT refused to let the external system access the main database.
So they are still on the emergency system years later. Much less efficient. All manual and relay on managers completing tasks. When they don’t things like lease cars and equipment don’t get cancelled and payments are still made.
That’s why the software cost 900 million and is still shit. | 0 |
1b2xlw6 | We did similar things to the natives of America and Canada, even went as far as raping their children (well the catholic brits did). We know the british empire did awful things but us brits in today’s society mostly had nothing to do with colonialism. If you’re really passionate about what happened in Kenya then you’ll probably be better off trying to informing the department for education because none of us here can teach it in school, heck I’m still learning in school | 0 |

1ctyga5 | What a difficult take on what they would have thought was a little raunchy weekend. That’s so bloody difficult to comprehend. Sex workshops (I don’t know like a meeting or something) could help spread the word on safe practices.
Condolences to them and their family, that’s a sad read. | 0 |
1d4yakh | How sad for both involved. The push was retaliation rather than defence; but generally just a bad decision made in the moment.
A smackhead once flicked a lit ciggy end in my face, he was walking the opposite way so I turned ran up behind him and only after I closed the distance did I stop my self from punching him in the back of the head, likely breaking my hand and potentially killing him.
I’ve been in more than a few scraps, but I‘ve rarely ever in my life been just that upset over something. I was pissed off because of having a ciggy flicked at me but that didn’t compare to the days maybe even weeks after thinking about how bad that could have been. To do something so stupid. Not only was it terrifying and horrible to think I could have killed him but embarrassing to think that I’d ruin my life and hurt everyone around me over something like that.
That’s a moment where I can say I truly grew up and if it had happened years before, as angry and aggressive as I could be towards people who I felt deserved it, I might have made the wrong choice.
Which is why I feel sorry for that young girl. If she has empathy then she doesn’t need prison as she’ll carry this for the rest of her life. | 0 |
1d4ph5t | Friend of mine had it published she was shagging another bloke when her ex rolled up and beat him to death and her half to death.

It's interesting how the British veterans of Palestine have been ignored and conveniently forgotten about.
You could make at argument that she is betraying their memory and the other victims of the Zionist Terrorists.
Things like the king David hotel bombing, the murder of Lord Moyne,the murder of Folke Bernadotte,the Sargent's affair and all the other acts of terror.
There was even a letter bombing campaign in the UK by Zionists.

1b3klmn | I'm sorry to hear about your dad. CTE was not so well understood back in the day, Welsh rugby player JPR Williams who played in the '70s said:
"The game was amateur, we only probably had physical contact once a week. Now they have it every day, the brain needs time to recover, it's like any organ in the body, it is quite a worry, it's repetitive, not even huge bangs but repetitive small injuries to the brain can be a problem in later life."
CTE is definitely an issue in lots of sports. heading the ball in football, rugby (everything!), boxing, jockeys in horse racing. but what is the solution? most youngsters will still risk it.
I knew someone quite well who worked with an Australian NFL team and she told me the young guys who weren't big enough were told to go away and come back when they were bigger - however they managed to do that. and plenty of ways to get there if you're in gyms. doping is crazy prevalent now. she also worked with an AFL team and told me about the amount of recreational drugs they were taking, which finally came out in the media.
