It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others
Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.
@RobertJenrick Robert you and i know both know this is a cheap stunt, There are strict rules and permits about who can visit. Pub bores like Farage need to fill in a form! And the island base is full of serious people doing serious things. So perhaps he should get back to Clacton.
I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.
It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.
ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.
Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.
I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.
O2's putting prices up more than it said it would when people signed up. It makes a mockery of Ofcom’s rules. You’ve a right to leave penalty free within 30 days of notification! Here’s how to save large!

This is Rosie and Pancho. Rosie has spent days digging a suspiciously Pancho-sized hole. Did not help the premeditated charges by putting him in it to check her measurements. 13/10 for both
“The Bombing Of Pan Am 103” TV drama is a decent effort but detective McCusker’s wig is very off putting. He looks like Nick Cave going for a job interview. Quite a distraction.
Radio 4 has ordered Why In The Name Of @PierreNovellie, a four-part series in which the erudite stand-up delivers an eclectic range of comedy essays.

An entirely new OK Go music video for an entirely new OK Go song off of an entirely new OK Go album—can you believe it? This one’s called Love. Only took 29 robots to make the whole thing happen. We hope you, well, Love it.
