The result didn't go the way the OP wanted so they're calling foul play. One of the tactics out of the Trump play book, if it doesn't align with what you wanted, call it a fix and/or fake news.

Ah, so you can't answer, got it ;)

What Restore policies appeal to you to the extent you'd like them to form the next UK Government?

What was the point? Money baby, money. Markets up and down, folk raking it in, maybe even some of those close to Trump ;) Then of course there's all the money to be made rebuilding infrastructure, property etc. Tens of thousands dead? A small price to pay in the eyes of some.

Whole life tariff has been given, for one of them at least. A teacher who sexually abused and murdered a baby boy he was adopting was given a whole life order in prison today. Jamie Varley, 37, will die in prison for killing 13-month-old Preston Davey in July 2023. His partner, John...

Let's agree to disagree.

I find many of the video/photo ops that politicians do almost laughable. And I mean from all parties. When you think about seeing them doing stuff like drinking in pubs to show they're one of the people, driving tanks cause they're doing so much (or promising to) for defence, walking around...

I don't get the asserted correlation with the George Floyd case. Putting aside the kind of man he was, George was killed by a police officer. George Floyd died of cardiopulmonary arrest caused by law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck and back compression. Medical experts determined the...

Should be whole life tariffs, but won't be.

I'll say it again, to varying degrees, they are ALL in the (political) swamp, some just dipping their toes, some up to their proverbial necks.

If mandatory ID cards come to pass, the black market in fake ones will be a nice earner for somebody.

Although it's difficult for governments to introduce legislation/laws that please everyone, I feel for those kids under 16 who use social media responsibly and for whom it's an important method of socialising. And as with any law, people (young or old) determined to find a way around it will.

Read what? His private financial accounts? You know diddly squat about what he does or doesn't do.

How do you know?

The counter argument is why should the uber wealthy provide financial assistance when, in a lot of these countries, corruption is rife and the 'leaders' quite happily live like royalty while their citizens suffer in poverty. And many rich folk do a lot for charitable causes.

I suspect over coming years/decades we'll see more pernicious taxes on property and vehicles. Whenever I read about old folk and property I think 'what about those who want to stay put?' As you say, in a property they most likely saved to buy followed by years of mortgage payments and...

I don't care where the feck it goes, it's a horrible duty, tax, whatever you want to call it.

Lefties don't look at it that way. Lefties will think it's quite right that stamp duty should be paid, after all, you have an asset worth a lot of money, how dare you have such an asset. You are therefore rich and must be financially punished. I expect they would like stamp duty to be higher...

They're guilty and should feel the full force of the law. However this bit in the article also caught my eye: The court heard previously that the 12-year-old girl Belov attacked admitted pulling a knife and axe from her waistband, but only after Belov had assaulted her.

England & Wales: The law requires express permission from the Home Secretary for water cannon deployment. In 2015, the government refused to license them, citing medical risks and potential damage to the principle of "policing by consent." Even though the Metropolitan Police previously purchased...
