100bn per year until paid. Reverse Brexit, go back to where we were prior to June 2016 and instead of spaffing 4% of GDP up the wall - spend it on reparations

and from the same voices who had a hissy fit over the Chagos islands.....

concede to the Democrats, admit virtually everything he says is bollox which he makes up as he goes along, full and frank apology for the insurection, apologies to all the people he's insulted and defamed, plead guilty to all charges for election fraud, liquidate all his assets and business...

A slogan comprehensively rejected by the electorate in 2019, they opted for 'few' rather than 'many'

Trump doesn't do logic

I think it's a brilliant move by the democrats which was planned from the beginning, a side step which has bamboozled the Trump camp. Rather than 2 white old fogies who don't offer any real choice, now a younger, female woman of colour. Trump doesn't stand a chance

You're right, for a minute there the thread was getting a little mysogynistic

I support the foreign aid budget and would welcome anything which helps support and develop other nations, especially lifting people out of poverty. I'm also glad our politicians we can actually have grown up conversations about reaching out and helping those less privelegded in other countries...

Missing the point a little, our country and Economy benefitted off slavery and should give back. Even today people are direct benefactors from slave plantations like this piece of filth...

Their lives were not in danger, Kaba hadn't done anything wrong, he was being pursued by police so the situation was created by the police, he was unarmed so they presumed he may be armed. A car is not a lethal weapon. The only reason he would have been followed by armed officers is they...

Nailed it.... Isaiah Nature, 52, questioned why lethal force was necessary. “Even though [Chris Kaba] was known as a violent man, if this is my job, I’ve got to look at the situation. I could shoot him in the leg, you could reach for the gun,” he said. But while Isaiah was insistent that the...

In that case perhaps we should allow the police to shoot anyone in the head if they are considered bad uns?, reclassify cars as lethal weapons so anyone considered suspicious, had a brush with the law and driving a car, and lets be honest, you can see where is going, it would be sceuwed towards...

The met themselves admit they are institutionally racist

Precisely, so what was the thought process as to whether to fire or not? The jury concluded they didn't feel the officer's life was at risk, there's only one conclusion: race

It's easy to say such thing from your priveleged position knowing it would be highly unlikely you would ever be in such situation, however, the uncomfortable truth is we live in a country / society where if you are black it's common place. Feel free to argue / pretend otherwise

Damn. I thought you had 1 ticket for U2 :ohmy:

Yes, I know. But it's the best live version of Killers
