No one said police can kill drug addicts.
George Floyd was a convicted criminal high on fentanyl/meth resisting arrest with a long rap sheet — a completely different situation from an innocent 18yo stabbing victim pleading for help while dying in handcuffs.
Lammy is being disingenuous and a liar by trying to equate the two to deflect from the two-tier policing and failures in the Nowak case.
That’s my point.
Working as an RN you see the full range of life in one shift.
One room a guy is cracking jokes with his family like nothing’s wrong. Next room a family is saying goodbye.
It messes with your head sometimes. Makes you realize how fast everything can change and how little control we actually have.
I’ve learned to hold my people a little tighter when I get home and not take the small things for granted.
What’s one thing the craziness of life has taught you to appreciate more?"
MAJOR BRITISH RETAILERS AXE 18,000 JOBS AS LABOUR’S TAX AND MINIMUM WAGE HIKES BITE HARD
High-street giants including Boots, B&Q, Iceland and several major supermarkets have started mass redundancies after the new National Living Wage rose to £12.21 an hour and National Insurance contributions for employers jumped to 15%.
The total cuts across the retail sector now stand at more than 18,000 roles in the past year alone, with insiders warning thousands more are expected before Christmas.
Retail bosses say the combined £8 billion extra annual cost from Labour’s policies has left them with no choice but to slash jobs and hours to stay afloat.
Many of those affected are part-time workers, women and young people who relied on flexible shifts to fit around families or studies.
The British Retail Consortium warned the hikes are “pushing retailers to the brink” and will ultimately mean higher prices for shoppers.
This is the direct result of Labour’s first Budget decisions now hitting the high street.
