I would caveat this by saying an overwhelming majority of either side doesn't seem to really understand what the actual definition of free speech is to be honest, or, perhaps more crucially, it's limitations. I'd say the same applies to the UK though as well.

This is why this kind of rhetoric is so dangerous as people will take it literally. Remember when Trump told the public that injecting people disinfectant as a viable treatment for Covid....and people actually did.

The funny thing about the MAGA cult is they genuinely believe Democrats are the biggest existential threat to their beloved Constitution when time and again it's Trump that has not only shown disdain for it but has consistently trampled on it across both terms.

I mean if you're going to make a direct comparison between UK-US then Democrats very much sit on the right. But it's like comparing apples with bacon.

Oh come on. JDS would get absolutely crucified in the PL and it isn't even up for debate.

You can't point score against me on something that I didn't refute. I even said at the time that while it certainly appeared that his motive was likely trans activist related, Robinson wasn't cooperating so the FBI were piecing together what fragmented information they had available from...

And given the existing statistics which heavily point to which 'side' has committed more extremist related killings, it's not really all that difficult to conclude why incitement of retaliatory violence from the right against the left is a pretty huge concern.

I mean you can't say that definitively but yes it does certainly appear that way. The mocking of Charlie Kirk's death is obviously abhorrent, but if I'm honest it's relatively minor in comparison to the direct incitement of violence towards the left from individuals in response to the shooting...

It's ironic. But Adolescence, the series which I'm sure most if not all of us have either seen or heard about, highlights the real-world issue of young people becoming indoctrinated by weird online culture and online forums such as on Discord, Reddit. Kirk claimed that the aforementioned didn't...

Yeah it's not 'on the father'. Tyler Robinson is a fully grown adult. But this does highlight the lack of accountability from certain sections of American society. Moving away from the Kirk shooting and focusing on school shootings. The vast majority of families never think that their child...

I read an article recently about it. Probably need to look more into it to be fair as I don't actually know much about the test pool of number of people that were assessed / questions asked etc.

There isn't really a willingness to from the US public. To put it into perspective, from recent polls nearly half the country are quite happy for either gun laws to remain unchanged or even for relaxations to be put in place.

Well if you want to go even further back at the time the Second Amendment was adopted the firearms available were smoothbore muskets and flintlock pistols. In the time it would take to load a smoothbore musket and fire a single shot you could comfortably unload a full magazine of an AR-15 and...

What a bizarre comparison to make. Have you actually read the article? The shooter in this instance was a 14 year old child and the father bought him an AR-15 despite the boy being questioned months prior after he made online threats to commit a school shooting. Tyler Robinson is a fully...

Likely true. Doesn't help that this is the second high-profile trans-related act of gun violence within the space of around 2-3 weeks - a male transitioning to female killed two children outside a church at a Catholic school late last month. The rhetoric I'm seeing from the right is pretty...

Does he not understand how free press works...? US newspapers have been endorsing Presidential candidates for decades. By his own logic the Post should be sued as well. https://nypost.com/2024/10/25/opinion/the-post-endorses-donald-trump-for-president-the-clear-choice-for-a-better-future/

It's funny, I was doing the same earlier today and if you compare the unite the UK rally to arial footage of the solidarity with Palestine rally in 2023 I wouldn't have said it's not all that dissimilar in terms of numbers at a first glance. The Met estimated around 300k were in attendance for...

Maybe not. But Sheff U's owners clearly aren't the brightest. Who would've thought 3 months after sacking him he's back in the hot seat....

Depends how his PILON was structured to be fair. Most are given as a single payment so more likely that he did get something. I know managers can also just be paid for the duration of their contract as part of their settlement agreement.

And you wonder why.... Facial recognition technology, (which I think - correct me if i'm wrong - was re-introduced for the first time in a number of years this year), played a major role in making this year's NHC the safest it's been in years, with robbery down 70%, violence down 53%, and...
