The peaceful protests had almost no effect - it became more prominent once they got more violent and broke the law. But what eventually won them the right to vote IMO was WWI and that they played a large role filling in the jobs the men had done before they were sent to fight. But without the...

As has been said who's going to say they'll get away with. It's videod so identify people where possible, arrest later. Going for it then would potentially cause bigger problems and there would undoubtedly be some bellends in the crowd waiting for them to do it to cause trouble. Weren't given...

You can if what they're saying is complete shite and untrue. Much of what Farage says is. And that is true of all sides. No platform unless evidence provided to back up what you're saying.

Maybe someone ought to inform him a lot of the poorest working class live in cities as well. Also no mention of the villages/countryside and their elite

Perfect Day (because it also includes the line you just keep me hanging on) Although at the moment Kinks - Tired Of Waiting For You

WUM. 400k people dead with the best healthcare the world has to offer failing to cure them but yeah, aspirin and honey will do the trick. Why not do like an MP and prove it's nothing but going to a Covid ward and letting them all breathe directly in your face?

Good job you can hear it's lovely as it attracts visitors who can't appreciate its visual qualities.....

He also jumped on the "save Cummings" bandwagon so hardly a model of integrity.

No you can't, and neither should we, but that doesn't mean we should have statues (which imply a certain level of reverence and admiration for the individual) of people like this. If it's put in a museum as part of an exhibit of the slave trade fine but to remain in public in this day and age I...

Over current years we have got used to a lot more races than there used to be as it expands in search of more money so fewer races shouldn't be a huge issue. I'd actually prefer fewer single races than more than one on a single track BUT with the virus it would be far more prudent to visit as...

I know it's a Sunday etc but to see deaths in double figures does feel like a small bright point. Although the thought of seeing less than a hundred people die in a day as a bright point is itself a bit depressing. It's still a lot of grief stricken family and friends who's lives have changed...

He's still hard-right economically and follows the mantra of economy before everything. He'll be cuts/austerity to balance the books when this is over I guarantee it. He'd be more on the ball than Johnson, but he'd in no way be progressive.

It may be 'excellent' for them but it's poor for the country and society as a whole. That people could fuck up so much and still garner enough support just because they're on the same side as them is a terrible indictment of where we stand. And I've no doubt it would be the same the other way...

In America it could well have an effect - the place is ALL about $$$. Affect a companies balance sheet and they'll want change and lobby for it just as much as anyone and the bigger the company the more weight and influence they have as they provide more jobs etc. So boycott of any large...

Given the way we act abroad.......

Chasing up small amounts of benefit fraud etc each taking time and resources which would easily be covered by just one offshore trust or tax avoiding corporation.

Been covered two or three times by John Oliver on his show.

Nope. But the fact is the social distancing has been flouted way more since that came to light and the incomprehensible easing of restrictions that followed, which I believe was rushed through in part due to that story as it flies in the face of their own tests. Some used it as an excuse...

But much of what is and isn't acceptable is filtered down from those who are supposed to be leaders and setting the rules and examples. So if those who are in charge disregard the rules so do some of those further down. Sadly, a lot of people are sheep looking to be led.

Of course they will be to blame as they should be more aware of the situation. However, the situation that has put them there isn't their fault - it's the fault of society at large and especially those in positions of power who have for generations ignored doing anything about the problem and in...
