I saw that, if it's real then the guy was known for riling ICE agents, he still shouldn't have been shot like that but he was living dangerously.

I was replying to a comment you made on UK politics so you changed the sub thread for no reason.

Yeah whatever, I don't worry about it.

Oh this one, yes I’ve seen a few people trying to use that to justify why he was murdered in cold blood 11 days later.

Imagine for a moment that our police shot people dead at one of the far right protests in this country and then told barefaced lies and tried digging dirt on the victim to make it seem justified.

I’d be outraged and want justice. It seems when the shoe is on the other foot, the empathy isn’t reciprocated.

The current US regime doesn’t give a flying fuck about human rights either. You’re a might makes right guy, China is stronger than the US right now. You should be all over this?

I read an article that claimed, and I haven't had chance to check, that deportation numbers are massively down under Trump.

What has increased is the number of people being held, seemingly indefinitely, in privately run detention centres with no due process being undertaken. Wonder who profits from those?

Biden too. Trumps first term saw a remarkable dip in deportations from Obama and then rose astronomically again under Biden. I don’t think he’s on trend to pass either based on the first 12 months of his second term. Like you point out, detainees is a different point but if you’re not deporting them…

What a disgrace. Bloke was dancing on his way to the cells as well. At least hopefully there is some justice for the family. Poor woman.

It kind has set the template for how he’s governed. Got a feeling that the worst is still to come out and ultimately it will bring Starmer down, especially if he starts doing a Boris and starts lying about what he did and didn’t know in parliament.

Seeing a lot of our Rachel on the news this morning, something about an announcement in the budget to do with petrol sales, going digital by the sounds of it, so another initiative to wangle more out of us dressed up as a saving of maybe £40 for the average motorist, blimey good going that, websites, facilities, real competition, sound's like a loser to me for the human race, centralised control, just in time to introduce dynamic pricing.
More big provision less competition.
I truly despair, this is the labour party, don't make me laugh.

I can't find this anywhere, not sure what you mean by going digital?

I already pay for my petrol with an app and petrol has been dynamically priced for as long as I can remember so what are they actually changing?

I think it's to do with putting the price on an app so customers can see a live view of who's cheapest in their area, they have to display the price within half an hour of any change.
