Rakosi posted:We'll have to agree to disagree then. As much arguments can be made for each side of the point, and the guy who did it is dead, so. How much more indiscriminate can you get than trying to run over children before you've even started your so called "plan"?

Breath Ray posted:He might not really think diversity is magnificent after all. I don't think he was being sarcastic personally but others with a more slender grasp on reality might based on preconceptions about the spectator. I suspect most people who follow George Eaton know who George Eaton is. The political editor of the New Statesman. Which is a centre-left mostly progressive magazine.

Party Boat posted:It's always seemed weird to me that pound coins are worth counterfeiting these days. Between the raw materials, setup costs, storage and getting them out into circulation the return on investment must be pretty slim. It's probably outsourced to some child sweatshop somewhere far away.

They've probably offered her more money than she earns in a year tbf.

MikeCrotch posted:Marine A has suffered enough you guys!!! He's the real victim!!! What I meant was that Leave/Remain as an identity is (for the time being) a stronger factor than class/gender/race at the moment. Putting the more abstract discussion about stress/mental health aside for a moment I just don't understand how anyone who has read the Marine A transcripts could conclude that he wasn't in control of his actions and well aware of what he was doing.

Prince John posted:This is what happens every single time a judge makes a sentencing decision and includes previous good character in mitigation, surely? Someone who's committed their first crime at the age of 60 gets to have a more lenient sentence compared to someone who's spent their entire life as a criminal. Usually previous good character is a proxy for how white and middle class someone is, unfortunately.

jBrereton posted:lol the battle between J-Melz and The Corbster to see who could tailspin the left into electoral oblivion the fastest would be something to watch but I'd rather have a strong left or *whisper* centre left instead of that This makes no sense because JLM is outpolling Hamon by 5 points while the PS melts down with the right of the party having exactly the same kind of hissy fit the Labour right had over Corbyn. If anything JLM was prescient in recognising that neoliberal faux centre-left politicians have no interest in honouring the principle of having a big tent political party when they lose to leftists in internal elections. Macron will probably get elected but he'll go down in flames when people realise he literally represents the worst aspects of Hollande's government.

I don't mind standardised testing in principle as a source of data for research and policy making but I wouldn't even give the schools back the results never mind the kids and parents.
