Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, Chair of the 1922 committee, seems to have punched up some security person because his wife wasn't let into some room she didn't have the right pass to get into.

He's just treasurer, ain't he? Still, the 1922 is all Star Wars like let go back for tea and biscuits, give ourselves medals and titles.

The #BothamJean hashtag is probably OK, for the simple reason that it's only going to be used by people who remember a dead black guy's name.

gently caress off you incessantly poo poo oval office Javid.

Also taxpayers’ alliance? What’s that, a cayman trust? gently caress the gently caress off.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/conservative-inheritance-tax-wealth-sajid-javid-party-conference-a9128646.html

Let these numbers sink in for a minute:

“Scrapping the tax would be hugely expensive – it raised £5.3bn for the Treasury last year – at a time when the government is promising to spend many billions more on public services.”

“But it would benefit only the richest five per cent of families which pay it, fewer than 25,000 of estates across the country each year”

(£212,000 per estate...)

“If we’d abolished inheritance tax in 2015-16, 70 per cent of the benefit would have gone to those with estates of over £1m, and a huge 40 per cent to just 528 estates worth over £2m.“

“That’s 528 people getting an average tax cut of just over £1m each, at a time when child poverty is rising.”

Whoever was complaining about the Tube problems this afternoon - apparently a big chunk of Wembley (including the lines running through it of course) was underwater for a chunk of this afternoon after it got six inches of rain in two hours.

Also Harrow School's golf course (because of course they have a loving golf course) is flooded, I assume the Army are being deployed as we speak to help with relief efforts.

Is Corbyn a landlord? I read Jenrick's speech earlier and as well as being spectacularly bereft of any real content he said this:

quote:

We want people to own their own home. Labour want people to rent for life from landlord Corbyn.

We want to provide a ladder. They kick the ladder away after them.

I assume he means that Corbyn wants to provide social housing which is bad because it reduces choice???

They also want people to be able to own their own home and two dozen others, which is incompatible with everyone owning their own home.

I would say she was telling the truth...to a point.

This Guardian article (I know, but it's not an opinion piece) says that Prosecution evidence was that she had been Sexting another cop.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/01/amber-guyger-texas-dallas-jury-botham-jean

Likely what happened was she had gotten off a long shift, was sexting said college on her phone as she walked up to her apartment. Became distracted while doing this and walked into the unlocked door of the unfortunate Botham Jean. Then just straight up shot him dead when she saw him in there.

The lies I believe came from her realising she never tried giving him warnings so she had to try and change the narrative to explain how what she did was totally by the book. And not wanting to mention that she was so distracted by her mobile phone/sexting that she went to the wrong home. Far better to put it just down to tiredness.


Her not doing any CPR on him after calling the emergency services is damning in her behaviour.
