Gone quiet since more details have come out, CCTV images etc.
I get what @rob9872 is saying, we need to sort our own shit out but people are far more obsessed with Israel, Trump etc. I don't know if it's now there's the internet and it's just what is rammed down people's throats all day every day.
I am selfish that I am more worried about my daughter when she gets hassled at the bus stop than what's happening in Israel or US.
When it comes to the politics, they are all cunts really. People like Jess Philiips who even claim to be all for women and women's rights but turns out she does fuck all she promises, but sounds good. (Well, she is brummie so not sure about sounding good).
Some people are petrified of saying anything or having anything said about some of the real issues closer to home. Maybe that's why it's easier to just say "trump".
You’ve posted on the thread once in the last four months - does that mean you think it’s ‘meh’ as well?
I think you’re mistaking people having discussions about things you’re not interested in for people not caring about a certain issue.

Not really sure that's the gotcha you think. I actually bumped it.
I'm not mistaking anything, I can only assume people who are obsessed with trump and Israel live in nicer areas with no issues near them so don't see things or no risk of it bothering them.
I'll happily say that what is going on that impacts me personally takes priority.

Suppose strictly it’s starmers judgement on employing someone that’s being debated rather than the files themselves
I’m confused as to how the government haven’t got a process whereby the stuff mandleson shared seemingly criminally is hidden in files and only sees the light of day when they’re released
Surely we check what information is shared - I have union cases where people are dismissed for viewing information without a business reason

1. It’s clear to me that the Mandelson appointment was pushed through by McSweeney and there’s chatter that maybe he will be the fall guy for all this. Personally I don’t think so as he’s effectively Starmer’s political weathervane (albeit a crap one) and I don’t think Starmer has the bollocks to let him go. Both will be gone following the May elections.
2. I have a mild fear that the part where government are trying to play the ‘national security’ card regards what is/isn’t disclosed relating to the Mandelson appointment is because there’s something documented somewhere that Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein puts him in a position to better leverage Trump. I hope not as things will get rather explosive.

Pretty wild assumption imo!
I don’t think the amount that people post about stuff on this particular forum indicates much at all about how seriously they take certain issues, much less about how nice their neighbourhood is.
