I don't. He;'s kind of entertaining, rather than threatening or of diverse perspective.

This is our Deputy PM, talking from a long while back, just to give a sense of the sort of intellects we were are being governed bv:

And the Police have finally admitted that the riots last summer when the young girls were senselessly killed, had nothing to do with the far right. Even though our PM and hs Govt (+ plus the NPC progressives in the media and online) spent a lot of time blaming them.

Just more madness from the UK. A tame Tweet sent by a pensioner that had only 30 or so views, means a visit of the Filth to his house, where they ransack it to find "very Brexity Things" 🤷‍♂️ and 3 x Douglas Murray books, leading to arrest and handcuffing of the gentleman., with an 8 hour stay in a police cell Yes, you read that right:

The Independent

Police apologise for arresting ex-special constable over...

Kent Police said they have expunged the 71-year-old’s record following the incident

Thankfully, the Police are now being sued by the Free Speech Union over this disgusting episode. This is an example of what Vance referenced previously about the UK not having free speech,

Meanwhile, our PM claims he will sort out immigration (he won't), this a step on from last years "smashing the gangs" rhetoric.. Stamers past however, is more aligned to

Al lthis is because Reform did well in local elections and he knows his party will be irrelevant in a few years time if he carries on as is. We all know he's lying and doesn't mean it, because he fought so hard for illegals to stay before.

And yes, here are some actual comments from our Govt in opposition

This interview has been doing the rouns on UK Twitter

As this one

The last one is quite telling isn't it?

Another great bit of community policing in the UK - thankfully it seems the police have eventually been arrested.

How much training or experience do you have disarming someone with a knife? How would have you disarmed this man?

Disabled or not, the man was threatening people with a knife, and was repeatedly asked to put the knife down. These officers did a good job disarming this man with less than lethal force.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to deescalate first, second, third and fourth as its clear he's in a care facility vs in public etc. The situation and context matters. This is a frail 93 year old man with one leg; armed with a small serrated food knife; very different intensity to dealing with a younger person with a machete on a city street. He is clearly distressed, so learn why? If you've seen violent dementia, is sad but it passes.

Further, use your training to find negotiate a non-violent resolutions to disarm a 93 year old man. It can't just be pepper spray and tase him. Anyone that has dealt with an elderly person in that distressed state knows shouting at them like that rarely solves anything. An offer of a cup of tea and a chat, a phone call to family members or removal of one officer from the room. He was never getting out of his chair to stab an officer. Not what they did.

Regardless of where the person with a knife is, they are a danger to anyone who tries to take it from them. I realize he isn’t a mobile danger, but he is to himself and how long do they wait until he drops the knife? The staff, people trained to handle the elderly, already tried to reason with the man after he repeatedly tried to stab a nurse in the stomach. The officers received a call coded for the most extreme emergencies. So maybe they could have waited the man out, but if he tries to hurt himself with the knife, do they let him go, or risk their own life trying to disarm them?

I won’t argue that more training and better protocols wouldn’t have helped this situation, but I’m not going to second guess officers who responded to an emergency call from the home charged to care for a man who already assaulted a nurse with a knife.

He needs to be disarmed, without question. No one would disagree there.

But the risk to a vulnerable person from being full on pepper sprayed and tased is high (let alone it being a 93 year old man), so the police need to assess the risk both ways. The gentleman in the video died a few weeks later.

I will question their methods because the Police over here in general are so low quality, top to bottom. An autistic girl with anxiety got handcuffed, stuffed in police wagon etc for suggesting the policewoman attending her house looked like her lesbian nanna. They knock on people's front doors at 1am to passively aggressively suggest they delete a post on social media. They won't attend home burglaries because they have other things to do. Etc

Everything they do should be scrutinised until they can prove they are worthy of my/our respect and understanding.

Brits should be in the streets demanding her release.

How many drugs were you on when you made this post?

He's 92 and appears wheelchair bound. They could have just locked the door and waited for him to fall asleep.

There haven't been mass protests (it's not supporting Hamas or leftie cause du jour, so it becomes a cost/benefit of being treated poorly/arrested) but the UK X is on fire about this. The PMs official X account has been deleting posts that get ratioed or community noted.

I was surprised to see someone like Charlie Kirk (observationally) went so hard on this last week when he was in the UK debating Oxford and Cambridge Unis, among other things. What it does highlight is that Emperor Starmer went to the White House and lied to Trump about freedom of speech in the UK.

We absolutely don't have true freedom of speech and our low IQ deputy PM wants to bring in a "banter ban" to stop an employee getting offended about a conversation in earshot, but not towards them. Ill conceived, ill thought out and open to abuse. How are they going to arrest thousands of football fans for calling the Ref a winker or a player a fat useless twot?

The man has 1 leg. and looked immobile. The situation didn't need pepper spray and a taser to resolve.

Don't you feel for the Male Copper? Watching that and also listening to the banter from locals. I bet he didn't think he'd be doing that when he dreamed about being a Copper

Sadly, whatever happens, he’s still going to be blamed for it.

Sadly, he will. But the least worst blame to get is because you stood back did nothing vs taking over or advising and be a misogynist. The real issue is why anyone thought 3 small women would be able to enter a house in that manner before the whole neighbourhood was out laughing at them.

This stunt from an MP has got 10m views on X so far and is causing a lot of angst in the progressive world

I am genuinely surprised he didn't get stabbed or assaulted.

Who could have predicted this, other than everyone with a functioning brain?

I debated this very thing with people elsewhere on the internet years ago, and was told consistently that I was wrong . Rich people would pay more tax willingly and wouldn't leave.

The truly sad part is our deputy PM wants to raise taxes even more so the rich pay "their fair share". It's people like me that will be shafted.

Meanwhile, in other news, desperate times lead to desperate measures

And our Govt claimed that we had no money, but happily pay this

Yeah because that's how they got rich in the first place isn't it, voting to give away more of their money 🙄

Honestly, I know and work with folk who think we should all pay more tax and be happy to do so 🤪.

I upset a few by telling them it's our absolute duty to pay as little as is legally possible because not one government or politician who has ever existed knows best how to spend the money we get up go out and earn. Not. One.

They waste it hand over fist on vanity projects and the like instead of just concentrating on the basics.

Apologies, rant over 😁

I had the same conversation. I will happily pay more tax, but not on the basis of getting less for it as we do at the moment. Especially when we're already overtaxed as it is; the system has to act like a private business vs a infinite money pit. I'm not a piggy bank for feckless politicians

Crowd watching these Govt speeches videos says a lot. I can imagine they were told, remember to smile lads, you're on TV.

This was yesterdays effort

Today’s effort is a blinder. he bloke with the beard did his best to made yesterdays crowd look happy

They really are hated by so many

Meanwhile, in the UK, our Govt's "prevent" service think you are extreme right wing if you agree with anything of the below.

Yeah, me neither
