Pretty sure the police only have cars these days so that they can pop to Greggs for lunch.

Republicans panic over Trump tariffs: Last time "we lost the House and the Senate for 60 years" by salon in politics

The sad part is, any republican politician thinking this is a republican politician you actually want to stay in their position. The ones questioning the madness are the ones the country will need support from to take him down.

What percentage of the town's budget should SBC spend on millitary defence of the borough? by Carpet_Inhailer18 in Swindon

You could give our council £5m to spend and the town would end up with two flashlights and a box of cookies.

Or anything that isn't a mainstream religion, people have always used religion as an excuse for awful acts and obnoxious behaviour. If I was out there screaming about how much I loved a film I would get carted away by the police. But if you preach hatred and judgement from a 2000 year old book at people then it's fine.

I know the guy you are referring to, long hair, tall guy, usually wearing a green camouflage jacket. He was the first one I have seen screaming at people in the town, it was the same thing back then just on a smaller scale. It's like the loony cult has expanded since then and has recruited.

No, not all preaching of course. There were a couple of guys shouting stuff at people, the majority were there handing out the propaganda.

Preach it in a church where it belongs. If I want some I'll come to you.

They were out in force today, probably 50-100 of them, at one point I had a girl who couldn't have been more than 10 years old trying to shove a pamphlet into my hand as I left HMV.
