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

It will need to tax, cut or print more just to service the interest on the debt. Let’s assuming it’s print, as I’ve explained before the more you do this, the more you debase the currency (reducing purchasing power) and in turn the more bond yields are likely to rise because lenders will want a...

I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that for the foreseeable future

I’ve got no issue with the additional investment/spending, we need it, let’s just hope the extra cash is spent wisely. Unfortunately I don’t have much faith in governments of any political persuasion doing so…only time will tell though. What I find bizarre is the continuing cries of austerity...

ok

maybe I misunderstood BSBs post but that’s how I read it

Not at all. I just saying that people shouldn’t try to find ways of justifying the violence and destruction that’s come along with the protests.

I’m not missing the point. He’s overriding the system again. I’m saying that violence and causing damage helps to feed his narrative and justifications (retrospective as I said above)

Did Trump call in National guard early, probably as some macho power play over Newsom and quash protests, yes, but let’s not give violent protesters an ‘out’ by suggesting they’re only smashing shit up because of that. Nearly every peaceful protest attracts an element that want to cause harm...

Risk to musk is potentially in terms of his life though

The spat between Musk and Trump is getting lively….gonna get messy

10%+ in 15 years is still a pretty rapid pace. I saw the growth rate chart but as we all know a low percentage of a high number can still be a high number. It all depends on wider context though, the main issue being the ability to build and deliver adequate housing and infrastructure to meet...

Not sure this will go down too well
