Wasn’t the film an account of what actually happened/recollection of what happened so not sure it’s about what was the point of them in the film

Warfare (film). Great film co-written by Iraqi war vet. Very intense though so not an easy Sunday watch !

You can only really judge any actions on what happens next, I’m glad we haven’t been directly involved to date though. Also there’s a difference between trying to remove Iran’s nuclear capabilities (no major issue with US doing this if there was a serious threat) and regime change (not for us to...

what’s he say ?

Yafai v Rodriguez is a cracker

my point was that the grooming gang scandal goes back 25 years so I can’t imagine underfunding was a problem compared to the main issues already mentioned.

I wasn’t necessity talking about the specific productivity measures, however, they have been in place for a while so should provide a steer on performance. I do agree they are imperfect for the public sector. If there are reasons and justifications for the drops from pre pandemic levels then...

There’s some that think just chucking extra money at the problem solves everything*, never inwardly looking to see how the money is spent and asking whether people are doing their jobs effectively. To the point where Ian (sorry Ian but this springs to mind) seemingly threw out that underfunding...

Just seen that the justice secretary has made a speech aligning us to the nine other countries pushing to reform the ECHR. About time One thing I’ll say about the government, whilst I don’t agree with all their policies at least they appear intent on actually doing stuff. Just hope it’s not all...

No, I was talking about the far right probably leaping on this and tarring everyone from the Pakistani community with the same brush.

Its a bit more than just poor data collection. People are still ignoring a key element of the Casey report: "We found many examples of organisations avoiding the topic altogether for fear of appearing racist, raising community tensions or causing community cohesion problems," Unfortunately ‘do...

Read yesterday that Trump vetoed Israel’s assassination plans. Not sure if true or not but right move if he did, not sure that’s the solution (see Iraq, Libya etc)

Back streets of Bangkok is sickening for that. Loads of old western (white) men preying on young boys and girls

I agree about endless inquiries and no action. Whats the point 🤷‍♂️ I think you’ve highlighted worrying issues across the board though. I might be wrong* but in terms of ethnicity I wonder if it is that easy but as has been shown by this grooming gang shitshow people were worried about either...

Unless I’ve misunderstood the point, I think it’s a cop out from or on behalf of the various authorities Dave. The fact is if the perpetrator is refusing to answer I’m sure there’s ways and means to find or accurately assess ethnicity/heritage. These are criminal investigations afterall There...

If I was Iran I’d tie giving up uranium enrichment with requesting Israel to cease Palestine conflict/engage in peace solution (long shot I know). Gives them a face saving ‘out’ and even come out with the moral high ground

Many elements of the civil service frustrate governments of different persuasions Might’ve missed previous comments but this isn’t just a Tory issue, Starmer recently commented on the tepid bath of managed decline in the civil service, John Reed basically said the home office wasn’t fit for...

Surely the telegraph has been taken over and being run as a parody ?!

It does and it is a fact but the regime, which in my view is abhorrent and dangerous, has been in power for 45+ years. The current mess; economically, politically and socially is of their own making.

Not sure who you’re replying to there but as I’ve just said we need to spend and invest more (but need to make sure cash is spent wisely) I presume it’s someone else
