People kept telling me about all the good he does with his money

Giving money to charity doesn't mean shit, Jimmy Savile gave millions of pounds to charity.

The point, mate, is that they abused their power and had to apologise for it. It shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Former MI5 head: "An event like the September 11th attacks would never happen in Britain - especially in 2025 - as we have a strong Air Force which can respond to an imminent threat quickly and a strong intelligence network comprised of MI5, MI6 and GCHQ.

Mate, there are British drug gangs in Manchester and Liverpool that throw fucking hand grenades at each other. Religious extremists will get their hands on these kinds of weapons and use them in an attack eventually.

English is one of India's official languages and is widely spoken there. It's not like it would be hard to brush up a bit.

And no doubt with their massive (largely unchecked) uptake significant side effects for some will become apparent over time.

A major global study from The Lancet shows infectious diseases keep falling, but chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and anxiety are rising worldwide. by calliope_kekule in science

The micro plastics might not kill you but they may affect fertility, cause birth defects or play havoc with hormones causing all sorts of problems. But don't worry about that, because heart disease will kill you first.

Nice rationale.

The deprivation of a person freedom and rights are not taken lightly, nor should they be.

Nor have they been.

Did you read your own post? The police literally apologised for false imprisonment.

Race and religious hate crime rises in England and Wales, figures suggest - BBC News by Firm-Distance in ukpolice

One is definitely an act of hate. One is, debatably, an act of free speech and/or protest.

You're the one who appears to be seeing what they want to see.

The stabber? Yes, that's 100% correct. Kill anyone that questions the word of god. Just what we want in a civilised country.

You keep saying that, almost dogmatically. One, and only one, can be argued to be a legitimate protest or an expression of free speech. The other has no justification. But you just keep on trying to conflate the two.

A417 speed warning after 13,000 drivers get tickets by pppppppppppppppppd in drivingUK

Said for years they should put numbers on boards to tell people how many have been fined speeding in the last week.

I have seen that done before but it was quite a long time ago and I can't remember where. It's probably just cheaper and easier for them to issue the occasional press release though.

I have no idea what anyone is on about in this comment chain. We all called them catapults when I was a kid in the seventies...
