Wise words from the late Dawn Foster

The only conviction of a uk police office for killing someone in the line of duty was because he kicked the guy in the head.

Yet morons like you can't seem to grasp a simple fucking point and do nothing but flounder with trying to equate people advising that police don't use unnecessary force, especially with impunity, to being happy, or even advocating, Jewish getting stabbed.

Give your head a wobble and stop being a tool

She's dressing like the anonymous 'shooter' on every film.

Freudian slip?

The confusion I feel for the first few minutes when I wake up is like free drugs without all the hassle of trying to obtain them or the recovery!

And they won't ever put their hands up and admit their approach is what caused defeat because they would require some self awareness, self analysis and then admitting that the 'left' not holding their noses and voting for their piss soaked candidate wasn't the cause of the defeat.

I'm not in the US but only recently learnt that since ww2, no democrat has been elected with a majority of white voters. Carter came closest with 48%. Running a candidate who supported cop cities with her entire chest isn't going to endear your core voter base.

They keep proving the joke of "we tried nothing and we're all out of ideas".

I'd argue that the system is designed or at least indifferent to a majority being uninterested in the politics that influences their daily life.

I would concur and that it's deliberately built into the system that people think politics is something that can be isolated/compartmentalised and not thought about at all, if so desired.

To enfranchise the electorate, education has to begin early on that politics is the power dynamic in every single relationship, including those individuals have with each other, systems such as government, and inanimate objects such as money, food, sex, etc.

Also most people who live in Clapham (and every other area) know not to leave anything in a vehicle overnight, let alone 3 bikes!

If you've had no previous experience of Liz Truss, she is absolutely bonkers and has the charisma of a bag of shit

If you can bear 2 minutes of her, this was when she was a lowly trade minister in the Tories before they imploded and were putting anyone in as prime minister. After that she went full on batshit, subscribing heavily to the 'deep state' nonsense and blaming everything for ending her 42 days rather than facing that she was incompetent and the markets had no confidence in her
