Just a reminder to the people of Gorton and Denton that Matthew Goodwin believes that even being born and brought up in the UK did not mean that people from black, Asian or other immigrant backgrounds were always British.
He's a hard-right activist and Reform UK will try to soften this image.

Okay, so this is an authoritarian playbook trick, once the evidence is overwhelming say everyone needs to wait for the official investigation then either fix it or attack it when its completed. Same shit Russian pulled with MH17 and chemical attacks in Syria, very predictable.

If you commit murder on camera & face no consequences the perception of the rule of law is shattered and at that point it makes sense to act accordingly.
Without consequences for murder there will be lawlessness in MN & soon more widely.
And this is what they want. an excuse for martial law

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street.
If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

The is not a new deal - this is Trump surrendering. For now. They have always said that the US & NATO is free to do what it wants in Greenland from a military perspective. Trump said that wasn’t good enough because he needs the US to “own” it. So this is simply Trump backing down
