Oh dear! How ridiculous to post the latter comment after having posted the most crassly simplistic statistic previously. You would think even someone who can't be bothered to do any research would at least be aware that the disparity in the likelihood of being convicted if the defendant is black is precisely one of the issues in contention. Just as disparity in the likelihood of being arrested for virtually any alleged crime if one is black is an issue in contention. Not only a crass understanding of statistics and the complexities of their interpretation, but no link to those that are casually included. Perhaps that isn't a surprise because they are completely misleading. Here, for example, are the Department of Justice (FBI) figures for 2018: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls#:~:text=Expanded Homicide Data Table 6 , 122 11 more rows Try these too: https://drrichswier.com/2020/06/28/96876/ So, yes Herman is spot on with his crtiticism of the constant overly simplistic, ill-informed dross posted by you.

Soon will be

I have uncovered the problem. Apparently this is hanging in the home side dressing room:

McClean MOM for me

The evidence is strong!

Well at least you won't need breast implants if you gorge enough Ozzy beef.

Yep! the grass is clearly greener when a billionaire businessman with no interest in football owns your club. I mean, just look at all those fans of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham, and Chelsea, desperate enough to break covid restrictions in order to chant their sheer delight at the behaviour of their owners this week.

So we are basically going to have the same sort of trading arrangement that we already had while we were members of the EU. Except that, "Through a trade accord, Britain is hoping to benefit from reduced tariffs on products like Scotch whisky, clothing and cars. Australia, meanwhile, is hoping to boost exports of services and agricultural products to the U.K. “It is a fundamentally liberalizing agreement that will support jobs across the country and help us emerge stronger from the pandemic,” Truss said. And just what rules have the Australians been calling for to be "liberalised" in order to strike a deal? They've actually been quite clear about that; they want us to accept hormone treated beef that the EU would not allow near the mouths of its citizens. So to knock 0.02% off the predicted 4% cost in trade that brexit will bring (according to the OBR), we have to lower our food health and safety standards. Perhaps we can drag Selwyn-Gummer out of the Lords to shove a hormone burger into his grand-daughter's gob for another photo opportunity.

Daily Tory sleaze update: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/key-boris-johnson-ally-lord-lister-quits-envoy-role-after-two-months/ar-BB1fZbbd?ocid=msedgntp A top aide to Boris Johnson has tonight quit after only two months in his role, amid the ongoing row over lobbying. Lord Udny-Lister - a trusted political advisor to the Prime Minister and who worked alongside him during his time as Mayor of London - is to step back from his role as special envoy for the Gulf. It comes after a series of stories about the 71-year-old peer's previous work within the private sector. These includes reports in the Mail on Sunday last week that Lord Udny-Lister owned shares in a company that has won nearly £1million in Government and NHS contracts.

No worries Herman, They're only after donkeys.

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/systemic-racism-debate-sparked-by-video-footage-of-white-man-fleeing-from-police/ar-BB1fINhl?ocid=msedgntp 61 year-old white man attacks police officer with a hammer, then drives off with another whose arm is trapped in the window. No shots fired. 13 year-old boy of colour drops weapon and raises arms as instructed. Shots fired and boy killed. 13

So what! An ex-police officer who has no access to the jury's deliberation comes out in defence of the police. I can find you plenty of others (many more in fact, some of whom who have already been quoted on this thread) who say precisely the opposite. Perhaps he, like you should take a look at the statistics.

Better not tell the Irish that St Patrick was Romano-British. Probably a breach of the Northern Irish protocol I suspect.

Guess who has a past history of kneeling on a black person's neck while he pleaded he couldn't breathe: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/doj-weighing-additional-charges-against-derek-chauvin-for-using-force-on-black-teen-in-2017/ar-BB1fZ6Wm?ocid=msedgntp Last year, as state prosecutors prepared their case against Chauvin for the murder of Mr Floyd, they sought to introduce evidence relating to the 2017 arrest. According to a court filing, in that incident, a 14-year-old Black boy was reportedly slow to comply with officers’ instructions, so Chauvin allegedly grabbed him by the throat, forced him to the ground, and put a knee into his neck and back, kneeling on top of him for nearly 17 minutes as the boy complained he couldn’t breathe.

Mark May 26th on your calendar, he's giving evidence to parliament and he's not going to hold back. This is going to be fun!

He keeps having meltdowns, and that really isn't wise for a right-wing snowflake.

How kind of you to ask. Since you're so interested, I'm semi-retired and work part time at a uni. You may not have noticed that there has been an inconvenient bug causing a few problems this past year, so like most of my colleagues I get to work from home on my laptop. Plenty of time to indulge my little hobby upsetting RWNJs.

Just as well they didn't black-up for the occasion and pretend to be "antifa".

https://goodlawproject.org/news/ppe-urgent-hearing/ Explosive emails revealed in a hearing on our legal challenge over direct awards of PPE contracts show civil servants raising the alarm that they were “drowning in VIP requests” from political connections that do not have “the correct certification or pass due diligence”. One email shows a civil servant warning that when VIPs “jump to the front of the queue it then has a knock on effect to the remaining offers of help.” For ordinary people the pandemic was a tragedy. But for well-connected VIPs it was the chance of a lifetime – huge fortunes were up for grabs. What this civil servant is saying is that it became more of a tragedy because so many VIPs – overwhelmingly introduced by Ministers – were interfering with civil servants’ ability to purchase the PPE needed by healthcare workers on the frontline. Remember Ayanda, the company linked to Liz Truss, fast-tracked through the VIP Lane – who supplied £155m worth of unusable face masks to the NHS frontline? This email shows Ayanda threatening to escalate their bid to ministerial level and another includes a civil servant warning of the Ayanda deal “the bar seems to have been lowered on this one.” This is the cost of cronyism – good administration suffers, efficient buying of PPE suffers. Government has been doing everything it can to keep a lid on the names of VIP contacts and those responsible for putting them in the VIP lane. We went to Court today, along with our co-claimants EveryDoctor, to try and force them to disclose this information. So far, Government has provided partial and incoherent evidence, heavily redacted. And key items are missing from the evidence we’ve received – in particular no Whatsapp messages, text messages, file notes or submissions to ministers are included. If ministers were pushing civil servants to prioritise PPE contracts to politically connected suppliers, then this information is highly relevant to the case. The Judge agreed that the identity of an individual can be relevant and should be publicly available if they were involved in the procurement or had a significant role to play in decision-making, in particular on companies referred to the VIP Lane. But has said we will need to ask for specific disclosure of details on specific documents. We’ll be back in Court next week with that application. The fight for truth and transparency continues. You can read our skeleton argument and the evidence disclosed in Court today in full.

I believe he then invested those ill-gotten gains in a series of deceitful adverts claiming to be spearheading a campaign against the financial institutions whilst fleecing money from the gullible on behalf of, you guessed it, a financial institution. What a huge an*us! (let's hope Swindle manages to pick up the clue this time, and doesn't post a like).

I suggest you take a look at Robert Jenrick's record. And once you've done that you can try any number of Tory ministers and MPs. And for that matter, MPs from other parties too (MPs expenses claims). Alas for you, there is nothing the EU has done regarding fraud that hasn't already been "perfected" in the UK. All fraud should be condemned in the UK as well as the EU.

I wonder if there are any current scandals in the UK at the moment regarding government ministers and the awarding of tax-payer funded government contracts?

I admire your gritty persistence BF but I think you're beating your head against a brick wall. I pretty much gave up bothering with this thread after MC's bizarre rant in which he said: "When your girlfriend only exists because when the ideologically possessed mob came for her father, he only survived because he tried to shoot himself in the heart by pulling the trigger of a rifle with his toe and missed. He was rushed to hospital and the doctors pulled him through and hid his identity. His crime? Being a very accomplished and popular teacher in Cambodia during Pol Pot's reign of evil. To the day he died he was receiving thank you letters from ex-students doing very well for themselves all around the world. I know ideological possession when I see it, and I very definitely see it on the Woke Left. If you don't see it I would think you probably only engage in media which refuses to cover it. So yes, when you see sheltered, know nothing know alls angling for history to repeat itself you could say that is coming from a dark place." Along, with my other evil anti-racist co-conspirators I have, of course, been spending my time more usefully planning for the introduction of a Pol Pot inspired year Zero for the UK. So far we have constructed 100 guillontines, but we're clearly going to need a lot more if we are going to better Pol Pot's 2 million genocide. I know that superficially this looks a bit out of step with the aspirations of a movement that is simply asking for fair treatment for people of all races and ethnicities, however, MC has helpfully pointed out that despotism and genocide are the logical conclusion of such "woke" beliefs. . Must dash, I've a lot of wood to buy.

What a surprise to wake up to an incoherent racist quip from RTB. Every morning holds the excitement of seeing which out of racism, misogyny, or paedophile apology will be the favoured offensive post of the day.

The eyes of the world are all focussed on the Biden's virtual summit on the climate crisis, leader after leader appear on screen to make serious and sober comments about the urgency required for action on climate change. Then up pops Boris with an excrutiatingly embarrassing waffle about "Bunny hugging". Isn't it about time Johnson realised that he is no longer in an Eton sixth-form common room trying to impress his mates with his "quirky wit"? The buffoon consistently makes a laughing stock of the UK in the eyes of every foreign nation with his bumbling incoherent tosh.
