@BBCNews Why do the BBC never seem to misquote left-wing politicians and why was this only corrected after an official complaint from Reform rather than being caught by BBC Verify?

[𝔻𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕕 𝕸𝖈𝕽𝖔𝖓𝖆𝖑𝖉 🇬🇧 @GayoCaesar]

But not practices around the magic R word being used? Could it possibly be that due to a decade of left-wing activism, threatening to defund the police, there's been a massive over-correction and now as soon as a brown person uses the magic R word in a dispute with a white person the police are opting to risk a Henry Novak over having magic R word being used against them?

@Amimej2026xae @LBC Silence is violence

@BigDunk71 @technopopulist Black man dies = Silence is violence

White man dies = Silence is golden

Do the police have blindspots when it comes to the magic R word being used that led to this young man's death?

Should we have exemptions on knife carrying laws for religion?

Why has the response to an incident involving race in the UK and the death of a white man been met with an entirely different response, in every aspect, by the Labour Party to one that happened in America involving a black man who died under (at the time) circumstances unknown?

Asking those questions is "politicising" this incident and none involve rioting or demonising every brown person

@danwootton Her "it's absolutely heart-breaking" was said with the same kind of distain and disingenuous tone as the police officers "I'm sure you have mate"

@_toosb @BBCPolitics You're confusing science with projections

[𝔻𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕕 𝕸𝖈𝕽𝖔𝖓𝖆𝖑𝖉 🇬🇧 @GayoCaesar]

@BBCPolitics Because "why do you care" is always the start of a slippery slope.

A card could be restricted by merchant type or to participating retailers, but a universal welfare card that blocks specific items in every shop would need retailer till integration or a national EBT-style system. If government limited it to selected chains, it would need an open, lawful procurement/participation process, otherwise excluded retailers could challenge it

Was it well intentioned though? Starmer is a Barrister and man who's subsequently defended not making any statements on incidents until full investigations and trials have taken place. In Floyd's case he was happy to make incriminating comments condemning the Minneapolis Police and organise photo-shoots of knee-taking gestures before anything was known outside the bodycam footage.

The plea to "not politicise" something is too often used to mean "don't highlight a potential problem that contradicts a world view I have".

Anyone using Henry's murder to legitimise calls for all Sikhs to be immediately be deported should be challenged. That doesn't mean asking if police have blind spots due to misguided priorities or questioning whether there should be religious exemptions for otherwise offensive weapons are wrong

@stephenpollard Agreed. So when black men are twice as likely to commit knife crime, then stop and searching them twice as much is fair by the same logic also, correct?

@Lendy424 @secondtierpod The principle is the same. You suggesting that if you do something wrong, but you there aren't consequences then the wrong doing doesnt matter

[𝔻𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕕 𝕸𝖈𝕽𝖔𝖓𝖆𝖑𝖉 🇬🇧 @GayoCaesar]

@Joey_CFC @Lendy424 @secondtierpod Also the two unevidenced teams they admitted doing it too (Ipswich and Oxford) also conveniently were teams that wouldn't be in the Championship next season to benefit from any points deductions

@Lendy424 @secondtierpod Raheem Sterling didn't kill anyone when doing a balloon at the wheel of his car recently. Therefore we should let him off?

[𝔻𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕕 𝕸𝖈𝕽𝖔𝖓𝖆𝖑𝖉 🇬🇧 @GayoCaesar]

Yeah. I find it crazy that as a white working class kid who grew up in the 90s and still see my mates of all creeds and cultures from that how we all still get it. I can be the only white guy in a room full of black friends in their 40s and one of them can say something like "let's all get some food" and I could joke "Not rice and pea again boys" and we'd all laugh. One of them could say something to me like "He's white, of course he's got no fashion sense" and I would laugh. But none of us would make those types of jokes with Gen Z's around or in a room full of white middle class liberals as they would think we were literal Nazis

Sure but data isn't an inherently bad thing. Tesco knowing how many carrots I buy each week isn't the same as them having intimate pictures of me or my wife for example.

What paranoia is justifiable from Tesco selling a load of data to someone else about our shopping habits where my input probably makes up 0.0001% of it?

[𝔻𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕕 𝕸𝖈𝕽𝖔𝖓𝖆𝖑𝖉 🇬🇧 @GayoCaesar]

@dodgson_sally ...or do you mean they're not the same because foreigners are good and rich British people are bad?

[𝔻𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕕 𝕸𝖈𝕽𝖔𝖓𝖆𝖑𝖉 🇬🇧 @GayoCaesar]

@dodgson_sally International schools in the UK were not carved out of the private-school VAT rules. The government explicitly considered excluding international schools but decided that “international schools will remain in scope of this policy.”
