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

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)
