"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

@VictoriaHa50399 @BasilTheGreat Gibberish.

Magna Carta Clause 61 established a council of 25 barons to ensure Royal compliance with the charter.

It makes no mention of "Lawful rebellion".

It has no relevance to modern British law - even if you are a descendant of one of the 25 barons.

@BasilTheGreat A characteristically dishonest post, cutting off the introduction which made it clear that these measures are only for CHILDREN.

Everybody else can relax.

[Roobarb @Roobarb59]

@AntonioSMW @BasilTheGreat Umm... Dude, there is literally a statutory public Inquiry into the grooming gangs underway right now.

Enacted by the Starmer government.

That would be a very strange way to 'suppress discussion' 🤣🤣🤣

@Tracy2087148 @Mylovanov It won't be the press.
When Trump is no longer useful to them, Russia will release all the kompromat in order to cause additional angst and discord in the American people.

@Grant_Colgate Happy Birthday! 🎂🎉🥳

But... umm... would it not have been simpler to just buy a plot of land and build a house from scratch?

@grantcrawley @mattyglesias "put up modern, comfortable, properly maintained high-rise apartment building complexes with beautiful communal areas"

In the UK we've demonstrated that we are fundamentally incapable of doing this.

The Barbican complex in London is probably closest, but still pretty crap.

@perrigame Woo Hoo!!

Congratulations both! 🎉🥂👰🤵‍♂️🐕

And we also discover that Hampshire Police were initially planning to release a statement framing #HenryNowak and the aggressor in the encounter that led to his murder... 😮

[Roobarb @Roobarb59]

So...
For the past week on here Brits have been patiently explaining to Americans the concept of 'sub judice' in relation to the trial of the murderer of #HenryNowak

Aaaand... then we find out this...

[Roobarb @Roobarb59]

@LacuaHalonen @kylesheldon @ErlingHaaland Not quite true.
In the 9th Century Vikings campaigned across North Africa and took a large number of captives back to Ireland and Scandinavia, where they were integrated with society.

@dieworkwear Functionally, this is the best watch you can buy.
Atomic clock corrected, tells perfect time.
Solar powered - no batteries to change.
Titanium case and bracelet - looks great.
Multiple alarms, stopwatch, timer, timezones etc.
Everything you might need in a watch.

Around $200

@QirkyPotPie @dieworkwear Casio are one of the pinnacles of the watch industry.
Superb watches for peanuts. 👍

[Roobarb @Roobarb59]

@Multi_720 @dieworkwear A great, practical choice 👍

@sergeantdixie @BStardAlan @AaronBastani I don't see it as being about race.

If on arrival, seeing one person motionless on the ground saying they'd been stabbed, they'd immediately attended to Henry and called the ambulance (and ignored the Digwas for the moment), then nobody would be talking about 2-tier policing.

[Roobarb @Roobarb59]

@sergeantdixie @AaronBastani On the whole, body-worn cameras usually reveal the nightmare people and situations that Police officers have to deal with.

But on this occasion they revealed indefensibly poor performance.

End.

[Roobarb @Roobarb59]

@sergeantdixie @AaronBastani The words "I've been stabbed" and "I can't breathe" are huge red flags which should have immediately triggered life-saving action.

They were astonishingly casual - enquiring about Digwa's eye even while Henry was calling out he'd been stabbed.
