@Metemsycosis@Harms_Whey13 To be clear, you accept that you’re probably wrong but refuse to outwardly acknowledge it because someone was mean about it? Most people grow out of this kinda thing around their 10th birthday
@welsh_pain@thebenprice Careful, we’re on the verge of some of the worse parts already. If I can walk down queen street and see tiramisu being served out of a wheelbarrow I’m buying some Semtex
genuine question, why does a train line or a new park have to go thru years of votes and environmental impact studies but something like this can just? happen?
Is Starmer going to have a COBRA meeting?
Is he going to give thousands of pounds to the Sikh community to keep them safe from the mob?
Are Sikh leaders going to be given maximum air time across all MSM to talk about this?
As fucking if.
Chaz Evans totally unaware that Wales generates twice the electricity we use and export the rest to England. Yet this numpty thinks he has the ability to speak for Wales
This is an insane story. The DOGE whistleblower who said that login attempts were made to the NLRB from Russian IP addresses minutes after DOGE got access had his brake lines cut and photos of him walking his dog from a drone taped to his door after Musk attacked him on Twitter
this language is now indexed as a form of racial harassment. The mere mention of Palestinians and their ongoing mass killing, siege and starvation is treated as a form of bigotry. I don’t know what else to say other than this is completely dystopian and insane.
You say that post-Floyd DEI training created the policing culture that killed Henry Nowak. This is testable. If you're right, the pattern should begin after 2020. It doesn't.
Christopher Alder, 1998. Falklands veteran. Dragged handcuffed and unconscious into a Hull custody suite. Left face down on the floor. Officers stood around while he choked to death. Ten minutes before anyone helped. Inquest: unlawful killing. Five officers charged. All acquitted.
Sean Rigg, 2008. Schizophrenic man, died at Brixton police station after restraint. Inquest found "unsuitable and unnecessary force" and police failings "more than minimally" contributed to his death.
Robert Edwards, 2011. Died in a Suffolk cell. The IPCC found police "failed to take appropriate care" and didn't carry out proper welfare checks. The coroner said he should never have been deemed fit for detention.
Wayne Couzens, 2015–2021. Reported for indecent exposure in 2015. Kent Police had his name, address, and plate number. The investigating sergeant knew his brother, also a police officer. No action. Failed vetting twice, still became a Met officer. Exposed himself days before murdering Sarah Everard. The investigating officer lied about CCTV. Three forces had twenty years of red flags. Nothing to do with DEI
Post-Floyd, still no DEI involvement: Stephen Reardon, 2023, had seizures in a police van while the officer said he was "playing games". Died. Jerome Cowan, 2022, found unresponsive in a library, officers failed to provide first aid. Died. A man at St Erth, 2022, left drunk and vulnerable outside a railway station on a cold night, officers drove past without stopping. Died. All officers dismissed or facing gross misconduct.
Same pattern every time. A person in distress needs help, officers dismiss it or walk away. It happened in 1998, 2008, 2011, 2022, 2023, and 2025. DEI didn't create it. It predates it by a generation.
You also claim "determined, institutional silence". The Speaker acknowledged the case on 1 June. The Home Secretary called it "a horrifying act" and Digwa's false accusation "an evil act" in an oral statement to the Commons on 2 June. Debated in both Houses. Starmer and Baddenoch clashed over it. Front-page news for a week. There is no silence. You invented it because your baseless argument needs it.
You ask pretentiously what you call a system where a dying teenager's word counts for less than his killer's.
I'd ask you: what do you call a system where Christopher Alder choked to death on a custody floor in 1998 while officers stood around, and twenty-seven years later Henry Nowak bled to death saying the same words?
That is an ideology. But not the one you're describing. It's an institutional ideology of indifference to people in police custody, and it has been killing people for decades.
Blaming a training course that's existed for five years for a rot that's existed for hundreds of years isn't analysis. It's a deflection that protects the actual dangerous ideology.
@ShruggedAslef@i___like___eggs@NoJusticeMTG Would be interested to hear more about that legislation, the other stuff you’ve mentioned falls under the practical issues I was referring to tho
I remember when Zack Polanski RT'd a person criticising the Police's excessive use of force.
He was publicly condemned by the MET Chief as if he had committed a serious crime.
Nigel Farage incites riots, AGAIN, and we have complete silence.
@i___like___eggs@NoJusticeMTG Sure, but there are other reasons why it’s not the perfect solution people make it out to be. It also would be illegal unless it was specifically outlined on the ballot, so the ship’s already sailed for these current strikes
@MeowingTism@RealLuthen I’m not comparing anything to anything, I’m just making it clear that I’m not particularly interested in your input because you seem like a loser. So it’s an ad hominem, not a strawman.
Under the new guidance, trans people are obligated to use facilities corresponding to their sex at birth - but there's no mechanism for employers to compel them to reveal their trans status.
Which means this is, for many people, effectively a "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
@i___like___eggs@NoJusticeMTG Doesn’t seem to be illegal per se, but this article from the last RMT strike outlines the practical issues quite well

@MeowingTism@RealLuthen And what makes you an expert lol? Somehow I doubt that you’re doing extensive research into gender dysphoria in between “eppy cuddles”
