    Dear UK
    Look what your Prime Minister plans to do when he's not betting Piers Morgan a grand on the fate of asylum seekers or ridiculing a grieving mother in Parliament ...
    I wish you well <doh>

    And heading back across the Atlantic, Trump fan-boy Ben Shapiro seems a nice sort... (Actually a **** of the first order)

    A wild stab in the dark here...
    Any protest critical of Government policy or pro-Palestinian for starters?

    This right wing media and government narrative trying to equate peaceful protests calling for a ceasefire with it being a bunch of criminals needs to be challenged.

    Nobody ever puts them right. Tens of thousands go on the march on Saturdays. There are a handful of arrests and not all of them are charged. In a number of instances those arrested are counter protestors trying to disrupt it.

    And to quote Chris Nineham, the vice-chair of Stop the War, “This is yet another example of the police attempting to criminalise Palestine protests and in the process chipping away at civil liberties. They are deliberately trying to raise tensions and to create the impression that people marching for peace and an end to a genocide are a threat to society. It’s an absolute disgrace.”

    Spot on <ok>

    Is it the police or the government, I'm more inclined to say the Government, since this lot have been in power our civil liberties have been eroded like never before at almost a monthly rate

    It's definitely the government. Coupled with the right wing media, they've whipped up the public with misinformation so that there's immense pressure on the police who tbf are reluctant to cave in.

    If you can evade justice by wearing a mask, then how will they catch anyone wearing a mask?

    I'm sure it's just a matter of time until one of them's doing a Tucker Carlson and fawning over Putin.

    Currently it appears to be pretty easy to evade justice while walking past Scotland Yard while being the focus of a manhunt without a mask and with a ****ing great big chemical burn on your face that should make you pretty easy to spot

    Proud of them. Actually pretty proud of the country's response here :emoticon-0148-yes:
    They were threatened with 5 year bans by the Governing body if they refused to play the match, so made a stand this way. Minor gesture, but draws a fair bit of attention.

    It must be so tiresome to play zionists at Uno, as they keep playing the same card over and over

    Just a reminder for Starmer: it's no good tone policing Rishi-Washy for making transphobic comments at PMQs when this rampant TERF is still an MP
