Off Topic Politics Thread

I agree with most of this but I would like more officers recruited from the black community. It is interesting to read some ofthe other opinions posted on this forum as the views are quite varied. For me, the issue will ony be resolved when we solve the problems which cause crime such as poverty , lack of opportunities and racism. There is often a disconnect from mainstream society which is understandable when there seem to be so many restrictions within the broadly white population.

 

That's....well....that's not true.

 

Total bollocks with absolutely no evidence to back it up whatsoever.

You and I have absolutely no idea what happened that night but you've made up your own narrative and by God you're going to run with it regardless of what other eye witnesses have said. This is an ongoing case- the mods are going to have to be really careful with your last 2 posts and your version of events

The comments I have posted have come from reading mainstream media articles (most likely BBC) on this and following the Kaba family's website on line. What I have posted is common knowledge.

 

I meant to add, by all means talk about policing/armed policing as a whole but this specific case should really be left alone until after court proceedings

 

I'm sure the families website is completely objective

 

I think we should all reserve our judgment on what actually happened in this case until the evidence comes out in court.

It is so reassuring to to have Braverman confirm what I have always thought which is that the Tory party is actually the National Front in disguise. No wonder all those Brexit supporters were waving their Union Flags. The National Front has stolen our flag, stolen the Tory party and stolen our country.

 

We need more police and harsher punishments.

As a country we have gone soft and dropped the standards of how to behave.

If anything the Tories are too soft, nothing like the national front.

 

We could start with harsh punishments for louts vandalising ULEZ cameras

 

We should start by getting the guillotines out for corrupt politicians that tax the working class to death

 

I think you mean the corrupt landlords who take advantage of the corrupt politicians who decided short term profit was more important than an affordable society. Taxes are only the big problem if you are rich - and then you probably know how to dodge them.

Edit: perhaps one of the greatest tricks in modern times is convincing the poor that taxation does not serve them.

The poor profit the most from tax. The poor need the services provided by tax the most. The poor pay the least in tax. And yet the poor are told taxes are the problem. By whom? By rich newspaper owners.

Someone on minimum wage, earning a paltry £1092 per month will pay £60 per month in tax. That is not their issue.

 

Couldn’t disagree more.

The government has a spending and overreach problem. Raising taxes will not solve the equation.

Imo calling for higher taxes and socialist policies is a naive viewpoint of someone that fundamentally misunderstands how the economy functions

 

Ah yes, the I know better approach to debate.

 

After thirteen years of tory policy the economy isn't functioning neither is the NHS, social services, the police, prison and probation services, transport, border control etc, etc. The incumbent bunch of incompetents become more and more unelectable day by day. The low tax unchecked Mistruss unfunded budget tanked the economy heaping more humiliation on the tories.

 

So you want more police, a more robust justice system, but less tax? How’s that going to work then mate?

 

We can cut social care to lazy jobless types and the disabled!

 

We seem to have spent 13 years doing that, not sure it’s helped much tbh

 

You are too short sighted! We can take even more from them. Also, the 5p each we all spend on the mentally ill needs to go altogether. Being mentally ill is a state of mind and Tate (genuinely) says we can believe ourselves better!
