    You could listen to any of his campaign speeches mate, it was no different. A quick summary…mainly how great he is, how much of a victim he is, how people of colour or different ethnicity are responsible for all of the US problems, how he’s going to make America great again with no detail and full of lies.
    As said by a commentator afterwards, it was intended to test the loyalty of the Republicans in congress and the Senate. They had to clap and cheer just to show there love!

    Officers Brian Sicknick, Jeffrey Smith, Howie Liebengood, Gunther Hashida, and Kyle DeFreytag all died defending the Capitol

    Trump pardoning the rioters, whilst calling for the death penalty for exactly the same thing these people caused is a ****in abomination, but of course not at all shocking given his track record.

    I did a little bit of searching this morning on whether Jack Warner (Dixon of Dock Green) played in the B&W version of 'Let him have it' - The answer is no, the film I was thinking of was called 'The Blue Lamp,' which starred him in his trademark role as George Dixon, in the film and series with different titles.

    The Blue Lamp was fiction but suggestions it was based on three true crimes, others say not a single story is true but has a semi documentary style. I'll assume the reason I associated Jack Warner / George Dixon with 'Let him have it' was probably because of one of it's three stories, where he was shot by a criminal.

    Actor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Warner_(actor)
    Film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue_Lamp
    Series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixon_of_Dock_Green

    The shooting scene from 59 seconds...



    Film Historian and where the London scenes took place @Archers Road might like this one...

    What I find crazy... The French we're still using the guillotine as late as 1977. 1981 it was taken off the books. It just seems such an archaic way of kill people.

    Yup they were still happily chopping away in 1977, several that year...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamida_Djandoubi

    On 25 February, he was sentenced to death. An appeal was rejected on 9 June. On 10 September 1977, Djandoubi was informed early in the morning that, as in the child murderers cases of Christian Ranucci (executed on 28 July 1976) and Jérôme Carrein (executed on 23 June 1977), he had not received a reprieve from President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. Shortly afterwards, at 4:40 a.m., Djandoubi was executed by guillotine at Baumettes Prison in Marseille.

    While Djandoubi was the last person executed in France, he was not the last condemned.[8] Fifteen defendants were sentenced to die before capital punishment was abolished in France on 9 October 1981 following the election of François Mitterrand, and those previously sentenced had their sentences commuted.[9] Djandoubi's death was the last time any Western nation carried out an execution by beheading, as well as the most recent government-sanctioned guillotine execution in the world.

    Nah, you’re thinking of The Blue Lamp. Dirk Bogarde was the killer in that.

    I assume that must have been another one of the three stories.

    Can’t remember the plot that well tbh. But I caught about 40 minutes of it recently on TCM, was surprised how moody and atmospheric it was. And lots of scenes were shot around Paddington, Edgeware Rd etc.

    What is this in out **** Trump is doing with his tariffs on Canada and Mexico?

    He imposes a tariff, America get's hit with even harder measures in return and he wiggles out again. He's got no bottle.

    It’s pure genius. He’s making America great again, by tanking the world economy. Then turning round and saying “nah, not really”.

    Can’t wait till April 1st

    I remember the story from when they released the film 'Let Him Have It'. He was a bit ******ed, the kid who fired the gun was underage, and cops wanted revenge. He got pardoned iirc, bit late though.
    edit: oh, I see you've found the film.

    Rupert Lowe in the media. Allegations against him have seen the whip removed. The HoC seems to have a few potential wrong uns across both sides of the chamber.
