Starmer and his holiday.

Biscuitmuncher, we have recently held a general election. People were able to vote to express how they felt.
Unfortunately for a minority, the majority felt differently from them. It's democracy.
As I stated elsewhere, this is akin to the domestic abuser who shouts at the victim
" now look what you made me do.."

Indeed Callistemon! Or Boris with his water cannons, back in the day!

But they didn’t work and were a waste of public money.

This is a public forum so anyone can read our posts and they do. We have been quoted in the papers. I think we need to be aware of that when we post

Precisely!

Prescott had an endearing honesty about him.😃

He had a great sense of humour, and an affair with Nessa.

And he thumped an egg throwing Tory! As Tony said “ John is John…”

Perhaps John might be the man to sort out the rioters?

It is prudent to watch what you are saying on any social media platform.

Yes Biscuitmuncher.

There will always be unhappy people, life is unfair, I’m sure we all know people (or even ourselves) who seemed to be dealt a really poor hand or have had a terrible life. They/we don’t out being aggressive, in an organised mob, attacking the police, setting fire to private property and disrupting innocent communities.

It’s not in anyway acceptable.

They do have something to lose, their liberty, and will gain criminal records which will greatly impact their lives.

How on earth can people make jokes about this situation?

I'd rather be literal any day.

Write!! Not right

Biscuitmuncher presumably you are aware that, because of the seriousness of the current situation, whipping up the situation online is an offence. Just saying!

Do you think smashing up police vehicles, setting fires to buildings, destroying property, injuring police officers is an acceptable way to convey one’s unhappiness? Maybe they could do what other protesters are told to do - lobby MPs , get elected, organise peaceful marches etc.

Biscuitmuncher

Whitewavemark2 how else are they supposed to convey how unhappy they are

You mean the right wing racist thugs?

Perhaps they can right a thesis when they are sitting in their cell.

(When he actually WAS!).

That isn’t correct though is it.

Webb was speaking out of turn, and didn’t have a clue what Starmer intended to do.

Curious as to what people who are unhappy and have nothing to lose are supposed to do?

Are you referring to the riots?

This isn’t a revolution, these are organised mobs intent on causing “bovver”

Which people who are “unhappy and have nothing to lose” are you specifically referring to?

Can you explain?

He did! I admired him for helping his wife to find her first son who she had to give up for adoption.

I liked him, John Smith and Alan Johnson - the best of a bad bunch.

Given the seriousness of what is taking place he had no choice.

The police need all his support - which they will have.

The country need to be secure in the knowledge that the Prime Minister is in charge.

The thugs need to be sure that they will feel the full force of the law, and Starmer is putting into place the ability for the courts to carry this out swiftly and with the least fuss possible.

Sigh
Some of you are so literal.

And pedantic!
