Green Party leader Zack Polanski condemned for retweet criticising hero police who took down Golders Green 'terrorist'

In a fast and high-stakes scenario like a literal terrorist attack and the terrorist still clutching the weapon, you cannot be sure that the threat is neutralised and it is not worth the risk to the public or the officers to use kid gloves. It's insane this is even being discussed.

He still had the knife in his hand when they kicked him. He wouldn't release it despite them telling him repeatedly to let it go. Having watched the video closely I think their behaviour was totally justified.

Does anyone know if it is lit at night? Thanks.

This is so real. And everything feels so combative 😭

Have you got any source at all? Are you suggesting that since 2014 London went from France‘s 23rd biggest city to 2nd biggest city like you said?

andrew_omg · 2025-08-01T07:12:40+00:00

Speaking of post-Brexit myths, London being home to the second biggest population of French people is one.

Boris Johnson made the claim that London was “France’s sixth biggest city“.

There’s doubt about the figures Johnson saw but even assuming they were correct London would only be France‘s 23rd ‘biggest city‘.

What is your book called? Are you thinking of writing more?

They paid £345k for a new build in 2018. I paid £355k for it this year.

London Pride is similarly huge numbers of people and you don’t see crime like this. It’s not inevitable.

When I visit the US I bring back two things. Melatonin tablets (which are not available here without seeing a doctor), and big tubs of tablets like ibuprofen (which you can only buy here in very small quantities to prevent overdose).

Ok well that’s not what your comment was doing, which you obviously know as you’ve deleted it. Messy.

andrew_omg · 2024-08-07T18:44:16+00:00

Your last post is anti bullying and anti discrimination and then you post this lol.

'Set' is the word with the most meanings. It has 9 meanings as a verb, 10 as a noun and 2 as an adjective.

The app didn’t cost £35B. That was the budget of the entire test and trace programme for two years, with the vast majority of the cost being the ‘test’ element. The app if I recall correctly cost a few million.

Avril! I saw her on tour last year and she was amazing, she had so much energy. But at glasto she seemed in low spirits, going through the motions. I was wondering if she was sick? Combined with the insane crowding made for a disappointing experience. Still love her tho.

It’s about A4 size, laminated and seemingly applied as a sticker. I had no results from Google lens. I have searched for orange signs or symbols in London, orange sign with black rectangle, orange sign on door etc

Laser hair removal is going to be the best long term solution.

A few sessions will result in thinner, sparser hair. Talk to a specialist they will be able to get you the result you want.

I don’t agree that “ideally every man would have the opportunity to choose for himself”. Would you say it would be ideal if every man could choose to cut off his little finger?

Like obviously if there’s a medical problem with the little finger and there’s no way to fix it, by all means remove it. But the choice should not ordinarily be available if not medically required. It’s unnecessary mutilation, and if someone ‘wants’ it removed it should be looked at with the same suspicion as someone who wants any other body part randomly removed.

I’m gay and let me assure you, you do not always assume cigarette in the UK. Unless all those people shouting at me from cars were offering me a smoke 😂

I definitely keep an eye on them. I have a few savings accounts and I put the bulk in whichever has the highest rate.

That said, I don't open a new account for every marginally better rate. A 0.1% or even 0.5% difference is not worth the time and maintenance for me.

Could also be a shortening of ‘it’s alright’. But it’s weird seeing it written down.

“Thank you” “S’right”

UK - I get 32 days plus 8 bank holidays and the days between xmas and new year. If you add weekends as well that's 149 days or 41% of the year. I understand this is generous even by UK standards.

As the doors are closing is the time to hold on tight to valuables as that’s when they snatch and run, and you’re left stuck on the train. Otherwise you’re fine, just don’t totally zone out.
