If people are retreating then 'smashing people' with batons appears to have worked. Out of interest, how are the Manchester A&E hospitals coping with the injuries sustained from this police brutality? Well it sounds like the only two casualties were police. Perhaps the lads on the end of the batons are more capable of handling themselves? The average power hungry coward playing Detective Constable might not be as hard as your average working class lad from Newton Heath. Seems like the 'Detective Constables' were much harder, outnumbered by 100's to 1 and only two injuries

I must admit I find it hard to believe that a cowardly scummy act of slicing a persons face with a broken bottle Can be considered self defence I would usually agree with this but considering the police will often go at people with batons then it could easily be seen as such. Those batons break arms and can cause serious damage. I saw the same footage as everyone else. Police smashing people with batons, some of whom are retreating. Entirely possible someone picked up a broken bottle in fear. I'm not saying that's the case but the last thing I'm going to do is take the police's word for it. If people are retreating then 'smashing people' with batons appears to have worked. Out of interest, how are the Manchester A&E hospitals coping with the injuries sustained from this police brutality?

9 million Belarussians are coming to pick our fruit and veg -would you want them living next door? Alp Mehmet, chairman of Migration Watch said,"Yet again, employers say jump and the government says how high?" "Why not pay a bit more, improve conditions and look locally before targeting the recruitment of those desperate to leave countries like Belarus and Russia?" I seem to recall one of the benefits of Brexit being precisely that: better paid jobs for British workers. By the way, the resounding failure that was the Pick for Britain campaign has been dropped... www.worldometers.info/world-population/belarus-population/I hope we don't forget about the remaining 1/2 million Belarussians.

Fit enough to start. On no more than 8/9k a week. And we let him go and kept Chester and Batth. Beyond fucked up. Meanwhile back in Blighty he was the joint highest earner at our club, more than twice the amount that Batth and Chester are on..... But he is 10 times the player, pity we couldn't have just fucked Batth and Chester off and kept Ryan.

Like you said, Brexit related success. The economy seems to be booming and the hospitality sector is struggling to cope with demand due to the great success of the UK vaccination policy. Meanwhile the Spanish hospitality sector is tragically struggling. The economy is bouncing back from the impact of Covid, no surprise there, it was always going to recover, but to a position that was lower than pre-Covid. That doesn't constitute a success! The hospitality sector is struggling as a result of the pandemic and Brexit. Be prepared for a lot more of this over the next few years... Ah, I see. The economy is bouncing back despite Brexit but slumped because of Covid, got you

With respect sheik both you AND I have come out with far worse than that on here so don’t start 😁 It's not the offensive nature of the comment it's the very fact that Big Arl, a woman of such ingrained beliefs could be conned into trusting this two bob, Al Capone. An inveterate fabricator and conman, willing to toss a match and throw it on the kindling of Northern Ireland without a moments hesitation or concern if it was of benefit to him personally. Silly, gullible, woman. Who is 'offended' by the term 'orange jonnie'? I've got to admit that's the first time I've heard the phrase but from now on I'll respect the distress the term orange jonnie may cause people.

A piece on Old Arlene, a 'casualty of Brexit' It is Brexit that has put the DUP on the rack. And it is Brexit that she and her party got horribly wrong from the start. Pure UK sovereignty was always going to be incompatible with the Northern Ireland peace process, into which power-sharing was hardwired. The DUP should therefore have thought the issue through and opposed Brexit, as a majority of Northern Ireland voters unsurprisingly did in 2016. When the UK nevertheless voted for it, the DUP should have backed Theresa May’s clunky but, in this context, principled Northern Ireland backstop.
Instead, the DUP foolishly threw in its lot with Boris Johnson and the European Research Group. Three years ago, Johnson went to the DUP conference and promised “no British government could or should” sign up to a border in the Irish Sea, a pledge he repeated when he became prime minister in 2019. The following year, Johnson signed up to precisely that, making idiots of the DUP.
Johnson has no interest in Northern Ireland. A colleague from his Daily Telegraph days recently recalled him announcing he was writing a piece about Northern Ireland. “Remind me,” he asked, “which ones are the orange johnnies?” Foster is neither the first nor the last person to make the error of believing Johnson’s lies. But she is learning her lesson now. She is also being made the scapegoat for wider DUP and unionist failings that will continue to confront her successor." “Remind me,” he asked, “which ones are the orange johnnies?” Some of her abhorrent policies aside, how thick do you have to be to put your lot in with that twat www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/apr/28/arlene-foster-thrown-to-wolves-johnson-brexit-games-northern-irelandWith respect sheik both you AND I have come out with far worse than that on here so don’t start 😁 They do them in children's sizes www.amazon.co.uk/Rubber-Johnnies-Prisoner-Mouth-guard-Handcuffs/dp/B08BHYHQP7

People in Asian countries (Japan is an example) wear masks when they have cold or flu symptoms in order to protect others from infection. They don't wear them to protect themselves - although some people do wear face masks in some cities due to air pollution but that's a different matter. Its interesting how mask wearing has become a civil liberties issue in the west while in the east its viewed as a common courtesy. They may do but the WHO (prior to 2020) said, paraphrasing, that masks were about as useful as a chocolate teapot in stopping the spread of respiratory illnesses Even Whitty seemed a little confused 12 months ago...

Chester and Batth together in the centre of your back 4? I genuinely don't think I've seen a slower less mobile partnership. Don't even start me on their distribution.... There’s no one else is there? If Forrester was fit I’d have him in but I believe he’s injured. You're quite right, I really don't know how we got to this stage.

Best half we've had for a long, long time. Hopefully we don't revert to type 2nd half and keep on the way we are going. Could do with a goal or 2 early as I think the more the game goes on, the more MON will protect the point. Norton looks great Souttar is class Clucas looks sharp Mikel controlling things well RND playing some beautiful passes Powell creating So far so good I've got to admit the first time I saw Souttar I wasn't convinced but he is developing into an extremely good footballer. Like you say, he has a touch of class about him.

I think your first post in this thread asked the question, "is he in jail yet?" Nowt like a bit of open mindedness... In the interest of transparency, I made that post two or three times before engaging further. There are some subjects I actually think you might be able to sway me on or certainly convince me that there's a valid opposite argument. I'm definitely more open-minded than some. This really isn't one of those subjects. Sure, I'm happy to watch all the Pro-Police propaganda and support for Derek Chauvin on these sensible YouTube channels with names like 'The Voice Of Reason'. Who doesn't fancy a laugh on a Friday morning while sipping a coffee, before starting another day working from home? If people want to support Mr Chauvin then that is their prerogative. It's equally ok for me to think he's nothing more than a violent bully who's aggressive behaviour finally resulted in an innocent mans death. Before anyone replies "he was no innocent man, he had a criminal record"... A record with a few petty crimes doesn't warrant the death penalty, even in countries that the right would refer to as 'backwards'. I actually fully agree with you that he's a violent bully and will be convicted of a criminal offence. What I find disappointing is that people are quite prepared to convict him of a murder charge and throw him in prison for life without even considering any of the evidence.

You've answered your own question I'd rather not engage with you because you're closed to other opinions. That's funny.... So because I don't rate this guy and the police and you don't agree, I'm 'closed to opinions'. Let's be honest, just how often have opinions actually been changed on this forum? How often have you read something and been so open-minded that you've come to a different conclusion? If the answer is zero then you're just as closed-minded as you accuse me of being. Really, you just don't like the fact I have a different opinion to you. Fair enough mate. I think your first post in this thread asked the question, "is he in jail yet?" Nowt like a bit of open mindedness...

Probably would have died, at what point? That day? The next day? Weeks, months? Who decides that? Shall we just set a precedent that Police Officers can play God? That they can think to themselves "he probably hasn't got long left, so I'll probably just torture him slowly to death". The state of this thread. Pathologists have testified that they have performed autopsies on people who died from overdose with under a third of the amount of fentanyl in their system than Floyd had. One pathologist actively claimed that had Floyd's body been presented as an overdose case, she'd have signed off on it without question. Plus he had an enlarged heart, 90% occluded arteries, had recently had Covid and was complaining of breathing issues for over half an hour before he was restrained. There was no sign of physical trauma on or in his neck and they have had an expert using the legal equivalent of "hawkeye" to claim Chauvin's knee was between Floyd's shoulders and not on his neck, and that the well circulated mobile phone footage gives a misleading angle. Even defence witnesses can't agree with themselves about what he died of so how on earth can they claim Chauvin was responsible for it? And I mean in an objective, factual way, not just "hE hAd HiS KnEE on HIs neCk"? "The state of this thread" indeed- people who have been following the trial out of genuine, neutral interest discussing the content of the trial being self-righteously berated by emotional, biased people who clearly have just watched the original mobile phone footage and sod all else. 'kinel, that goes against the narrative.

A daily occurrence? Really?? It's a wonder the courts aren't overflowing with resisting arrest sort of offences...... People being arrested on warrants where they were summoned or requisitioned to Court but did not receive the summons or requisition for whatever reason happens every day. It's a legacy of some pretty awful legislation. Oh and trust me.....assaults and resists on/of police officers is about the only thing that gets charged at the moment. I'm just a little perplexed why they didn't receive their summons if their vehicle was correctly registered and insured etc. Maybe more people are being charged with assault police and resist arrest than ever due to body cams now showing the offence??

Everyone’s broken the law at some point in time but i don’t see many people committing minor offences like the ones you mention kicking off or resisting arrest because they know that the likelihood is they know that if they play ball the likelihood is they’ll be allowed to leave in a few mins or worse case they’ll get a ticket. If they take the option of trying to run off or even more seriously resist/kick those options will be removed. So yes I have gone 31 in a 30 mph zone and I have been stopped for speeding on a couple of occasions but when I was I didn’t run off or resist arrest I just answered the questions asked of me was apologetic and was allowed to carry on my day. Likewise when i was stopped in the street in London after triggering an alarm I had my bag searched and was allowed to leave without any issues. It’s not even the offence that’s the issue it’s how you behave if you get caught. Drugs also is a big factor in a lot of cases. It’s just a case of officers being able to identify things like “excited delirium” and whether behaviour is a result of what someone’s taken. Sometimes it’s a very tough call which sadly in cases has led to people losing their lives. So you end up at Court over your speeding. It's an innocent mistake. The NIP went to the wrong address. Then the Court summons does also. You have a warrant issued for your arrest. The police come to arrest you. You know nothing of the warrant or any Court hearings. You're supposed to be at work. Id bet my last dollar you wouldn't be as calm then. This isn't an extreme either. It's a daily occurrence. A daily occurrence? Really?? It's a wonder the courts aren't overflowing with resisting arrest sort of offences......

Is there a slower more cumbersome team in the Championship than Stoke? The back three are the reason we defend so deep, throw in a completely slow and cumbersome midfield and a slow and cumbersome striker it's little wonder we pass the ball sideways and backwards but rarely put a shot on target. Today was a very depressing watch.
