Horrific. A 50-year old black man had a stroke & was confused from it. Cops didn’t want to “waste time” doing a thorough evaluation for a medical emergency, assumed it was drugs, & simply threw him in jail. He died

A tragic example of the cruelty of structural racism

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

How will Trump respond to this? Like any spurned nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize: by hugely scaling up his drone bombing campaign against the winner's felow countrymen.

The whole framing here is about “Trump bombast” making the difference rather than, say: Israeli public opinion souring on its govt; various US constituencies turning against war; the extraordinary diplomatic isolation of Israel

All these things at best half nodded at

Back in the day, I could just have laughed about Joe Willock having to call the police to get him out of a maze, but nowadays I have to factor in the 50% chance it's made up. It's a disgrace.

On the how did you hear about Visit Rwanda if you click other it asks what that other was with a free text box. I put I heard about them through news controversy about it, and added my opposition to the deal being renewed. In case helpful to hear one such way to crowbar in.
