@jacqui1515 The economic conditions are totally different to 1976. The IMF has also undergone significant practice change. Sterling is strong and there is still confidence within financial markets and no debt crisis. So the relevance is youโre comparing apples and oranges and getting a kiwi.
@AddictScrabble@ToryMemo82@Tracykboo Itโs complete nonsense. Badenoch said this months ago and it was rubbish then and itโs rubbish now. The UK is nowhere near an IMF bailout and conditionalities. And no, IGOs imposing structural adjustments on a country are rarely a good thing for sovereignty.
@spunkmongrel@notanerable He was portrayed as a racist by the people who made the call. Thatโs it. The police then did not do due diligence. Trying to compare American policing to British in this case is the definition of not having a brain cell.
@spunkmongrel Also worth noting the police killed Floyd. Police negligence and stupid officers combined with an evil man killed Nowak. The comparison is utterly moronic.
@spunkmongrel Thereโs no proof Floyd committed a crime. He handed over a counterfeit note without necessarily knowing it was. Iโve done the same. Whether a crime had been committed or not, itโs no excuse for the behaviour of police in either case and itโs disgingenous that you suggest so.
@ruviexo I doubt it would. Polanski is often criticised and questioned on things heโs said and done and then sobs about it on twitter for weeks after.
