What was that murder recently where the papers were like "Oh he was such a sweet boy! Look at the pictures of him as a child!"?

That's not really the point anyway, is it? The point is it provides an excuse for some Tory donor to get a fat contract to run the service.

Surely the primary goal for Patel would be just exposing migrants to potentially harmful levels of rays? Results of the scans are secondary to that.

I'm pretty sure when John Hutton was the MP in my area his personal security was bristling but likely due to him being defence secretary? I once had him on a train I was working and one of them was asking me about connections, his job was simply to travel from Milton Keynes up to Ulverston as additional support on the train (which was very quiet mid morning) and immediately travel back to Milton Keynes when Hutton left the train. Tim Farron travelled about on his lonesome though.

I had to delete my account and block it on my phone or I would have reached Glinner levels of bananaism. Horrible, horrible place, yet could be great fun when banging on about deeply average Kiwi all-rounders, or poo poo Welsh 1990s footballers. It was better when the far right were corralled safely on Stormfront.

Jess Phillips: 'I genuinely can’t think of a bad word to say about him' Our reporter Max Stephens is at the Cheltenham Literature Festival where MP Jess Phillips is promoting her book 'everything you really need to know about politics, my life as an MP'. She said: "I genuinely can’t think of a bad word to say about him, and that is not the case of lots of my colleagues from all sides of the house. "He was just a nice and really friendly man. "Why anybody would want to attack somebody like this I have no idea, but then there is no rhyme or reason to it. “But the way it makes me feel as a Member of Parliament it’s a sort of blankness, I don’t know how to feel or process it. “It brings back horrendous memories of the same feeling when my friend Jo Cox was shot and killed. "And it is a mixture of shock and genuine shock that just blanks you out. "I have had about 700 messages from journalists and newscasters since it happened and it was announced literally an hour ago that he had died. "I don’t have the space in my brain to think about the big implications to our democracy of these things or what the solutions are to what possibly could have gone wrong in this case. "It’s just shock, I feel very very shocked and you have to try and not let that quiet shock turn into despair or immediately risk assess everything.

It does say something about what their perception of an ordinary white man is, that I'm sure would be super reverse racist and misandrist if anyone but them hinted at the same.

Honestly the absolute best time to talk poo poo about people is when they're dead, because what the gently caress are they gonna do about it? Doing it while they are alive is also good because then they're around to hear it, but when they're dead is easier, utterly baffling why people are averse to it.

Also once someone is dead you can completely judge the sum total of their actions as a person (short of resurrection or revelation of previously unknown facts) and so won't have any redemption or degeneration in future and it's quite right to offer a judgement on what sort of a person they actually were.

My old MP Oliver Colvile is currently in the news talking about the 'death threat' he received in 2017. The context for said death threat: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-40815354 quote:A Labour supporter told a Conservative general election candidate that "assassination was too good for him" and told him to jump off a high bridge. Julian is a FB friend of mine

The United States has better high streets than the UK tbh. Granted most of America's high/main streets are in wealthy areas but still much nicer than the high streets in wealthy towns in the UK.

A man died today and whether you believed in his politics or not it is not right for someone to walk into a place and stab someone to death. So, if I was walk in and murder you Skeletone what would you like people to say about you? That you deserved it?

If I were worried about what people would say about me when I am dead, I would endeavour to be a better person when I was alive. Fortunately I endeavour to be dead after something kills me, so I am not overly concerned about it either way.

However, he didn't kill those people with his bare hands. Despite the fact he's a an elite etonian scumbag nobody deserves to die choking on their own blood. Marching into a place and stabbing a person to death takes a different kind of person. We have a problem in this country because we are to accepting of things.

Social murder is murder and the actions of the state to take money away from those who need it most to put it into the pockets of the rich is violence. gently caress Tories, I'm also glad the oval office's dead. Don't give a gently caress if he didn't kill those people with his bare hands, makes no difference.

Personally I think that killing people by the thousand in a detached, unthinking way is actually much worse than killing people with your bare hands. Certainly the former causes far, far more misery in the world, and goes far more often unpunished and even outright rewarded.
