@LucyTCWife If your friend thinks NEU events are compulsory, they probably shouldn't be working in education.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@LBC That's one way to stimulate the economy.

[Thanos Angelopoulos @Th_Angelopoulos]

Spare us the civilisational lectures, you charlatan.

Atatiana Jefferson, 2019. Shot dead through her bedroom window during a welfare check. Playing video games with her eight-year-old nephew. The officer never identified himself.

Botham Jean, 2018. Shot dead eating ice cream in his own apartment by an off-duty officer who "thought it was her apartment".

John Albers, 2018. Seventeen years old. His friends called police because he was suicidal. Officers killed him during the welfare check.

Parkland, 2018. Seventeen children and staff massacred in their school. The armed officer paid to protect them? Hid outside.

Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School, Minab, February 2026. At least 175 dead, most of them girls aged 7 to 12. NYT analysis and US military investigators believe American forces struck the school. Trump blamed Iran without evidence. US Senators are still waiting for answers.

In 2025, American police killed 1,201 people. 98 unarmed. 233 school shootings at K-12 schools. American children do active shooter drills in primary school. American families are afraid to call for welfare checks because officers shoot the people they're sent to help.

Henry Nowak's father said: "We do not want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension". You used it anyway, to lecture a country 3,000 miles away while your administration bombs schoolgirls and your officers shoot people through bedroom windows.

The UK's government has plenty to answer for. But we don't take civilisational lectures from those who run a country that can't keep its children alive in their own classrooms and in their own homes and bomb children in far away lands, you pathetic charlatan.

@UnderSecPD There's a material difference between comments from MP's not in government and statements made by a sitting administration.

Trump gave up on diplomatic norms some time ago, no shock. What is sad is the sycophancy of so many who are prepared to debase themselves and their nation.

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

@stephenpollard @Telegraph But he does not want a “Jew register” — that’s an arrant lie and you know it.

So why do you say it?

Is it because if you say an IDF register, you fear that it sounds reasonable? Or just not shocking enough?

Either way, you just made a profoundly antisemitic statement.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@LucyTCWife The wheelie-bin-warriors are Farage's people. They heard his dog whistle (and that of others) loud and clear.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@MarinaPurkiss The Faragists have seized upon this tragedy as they see it as exemplifying their core narratives:
- "immigrant" crime
- anti white prejudice
- "two tier" blah blah

Racism and perpetual victimhood weaponised (literally) whilst exploiting this poor lad's death.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@tes Tik Tok is the one thing they must ban. What nonsense.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@GoodwinMJ Just say violence against police is wrong.

It sounds like you're trying to minimise/justify this.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@ZiaYusufUK There are many reasons people shouldn't vote for you and your vile party.

Amongst them is your inability to read.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@humblerock @SpencerGuard @IDF Oh, well thats ok then.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@Ligit_Eclectic @SpencerGuard @IDF I mean, decades of bombs and bulldozers haven't seemed to solve anything.

The kumbaya circle doesn't seem any crazier than doing the same thing, year after year.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@WillKingston Killer of Henry Novak: Convicted.
Assault Police Officer: Convicted.

2 x jurys couldn't decide on further charge, but that has nothing to do with the judiciary.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@Ligit_Eclectic @SpencerGuard @IDF Not really here to question the "Urban Warfare Expert" on ratios.

Rather, I was questioning whether 800 civilian lives, displacement of 100's of thousands and the destruction of numerous towns, is a proportionate response to the rocket threat from Hezbollah.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@Soccer_Stats @SpanishDan1 @AJENews I wonder how many Palestinian Arabs actually played football in 1934?

One would suspect the majority of footballers in Mandate Palestine came from the European settler communities.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@kanch7 @bs_pearson But....they didn't go scot-free.

Maybe read the details of the case, rather click baitb headlines.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@ZiaYusufUK Hmmm, where have we heard this before?

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@ArchRose90 "Justice": When things work out in a way that fits my world view or narratives I subscribe to.

"Two-Tier Justice": When things don't work out in accordance with my prejudices and I don't understand the judicial system.

[Ed Gordon @ChangingMinds80]

@ZiaYusufUK Utterly disqualifying words and attitude.

The lack of thought that goes into a message like this.

The lack of understanding of history and how this approach destroys democracy.

A Reform government would be devastating for this country.
