Donald Trump has hit out at critics of the war in the Middle East, 'Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end - It always does!', said a Viet Cong veteran to the Iranians.

Yeah so it will Donny, at huge cost to the US and the rest of the world to get an agreement of less worth than that signed by Obama and the coalition.
$$$$ "Pentagon estimates place the direct U.S. military cost of the war in Iran at approximately $25 billion. However, independent experts and academic economists argue the true financial burden to the U.S., including equipment replacement, base repairs, and consumer fuel costs, ranges between $630 billion and $1 trillion." And rising.

I'm trying to picture what the police would have encountered. It's dark and he's wearing dark clothing so stab wounds would have been hard to spot. The police chose to believe the wrong person sadly. Easy to call it a digrace now we know all the facts.

If someone is on the floor clearly not in a good way and says they've been stabbed you don't think they should at least check on them instead of offering a sarcastic "don't think you have mate"?

Leftards gonna leftard innit <whistle>

The white kid probably deserved it for calling the guy a bindi eh
 
1. Not sure anyone in the Left will argue in favour of anyone who stabbed a victim 5 times. It becomes even more undefendable when you realiase the murderer was found to have a collection of knives.

2. The police reaction was wrong but unfortunately the believed the most credible argument which was a suspected racist attack on sikhs. In this instance they got it horrifically wrong.

3. I think that the other culprits are Farage, Lowe and Musk. I see YesleyLennon is now involved. Farage nearly prejudiced the court case. I believe that the 3 English characters are also guilty of promoting racial hatred. They need to be reined in.
 
Firstly, I try to look at the police's response to incidents fairly, knowing that it's far from easy and for the most part they have to deal with the worst people of our society on regular basis. They have to keep calm while getting dog's abuse and have the responsibility of having to do the right thing when attending all manner of incidents. But I find it's becoming more and more difficult to support their actions either as individuals or the directives from above. In this case the officers showed themselves to be biased and inept.


I like Sikhs, in my experience they are generally a gentle peace loving group who are charitable to those who need help. My impression is, that applies to all members of society not just other Sikhs. In other words they are what you would hope from immigrants and their descendants, keeping their own culture but at the same time integrating into a different one.
Saying that I'm surprised it was a Sikh who carried out the attack and dismayed that his mother tried to cover for him. Also I don't think there should be any dispensation given to allow anyone to carry a knife in public whether for religious purposes or not. As far as I can make out that although it's been regularly described as a Kirpan, Digwa was carrying 2 knives, a small Kirpan and a much larger one that he used to kill Henry Nowak. It is also debateable whether he even needed to carry a Kirpan as it is only necessary when Sikhs are wearing ceremonial dress.

Thumwood's observations in almost excusing the police action because of their "credible" perceived racism and those he names as also being culprits in this crime committed by a Sikh is to be expected. His warped view won't allow him to apportion blame without finding some white racism as the root cause. Unfortunately I don't think he is alone. Vigils for Henry were interrupted by Hope not Hate in at least two events shouting throughout the minutes silence.
 
Rein your neck in.

If you read the reports the murderer had already been barred from the temple. The issue qas that ge was a violebt indivual. This is not an issue about race or religion. It is about a thug.
