Looks like the weekend passed by ok bar the triple shooting in Clapham but we can ignore that as it was Friday evening. There was a shooting less than a quarter of a mile from me last year, same old thing, drugs. www.statista.com/statistics/1088644/homicide-suicide-rate-during-prohibition/"In the two decades before Prohibition, the recorded homicide rate in the United States was growing gradually, although often fluctuating in the 1910s. When Prohibition came into effect, the homicide rate continued on it's previous trajectory, but without fluctuating." There's an obvious answer. Thank heavens the other 9 million or so Londoners were more or less ok. I don’t think that media attitudes towards “gangsters” helps with homicide rates either to be honest. It’s not usually grown men that get drawn into gangs, it’s young kids who grow up in them. In the last couple of decades, more and more shows don’t portray gangsters as the pieces of shit that they truly are. Instead, they turn them into some sort of bullshit vaunted anti-hero.

2024 Britain. Rife with extremists wanting..... a ceasefire in a state where over 30,000 civillains, mostly women and children, have been brutally murdered. Something the large majority of the country support.
And now we are all extremist nazis.

Exactly right.

Because its a great speech and exactly what's needed. The pro hamas supporter amongst the pro Palestine marches need policing like a football crowd is policed No it isn't. It's gaslighting bollocks. We know why he made the speech - in the words of Tony Benn: "I think there are two ways in which people are controlled - first of all frighten people and secondly demoralize them". This is about frightening. However it shows a startling lack of self-awareness - if the streets are not safe and cities have no go areas what does that say for 14 years of "The Party of Law and Order"?

That's the kicker ... you'd think it would be but it isn't.
He feels pretty safe in his assumption, that his target audience (it would appear, quite correctly) won't even consider anything beyond 5 minutes ago.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/mar/03/tories-austerity-budget-cuts-westminster-worseFrom the final paragraph: That said, there is something that has long been unsettling our political system that politicians on both sides of the House of Commons ought to take very seriously indeed. We probably saw it again last week in Rochdale – where, although Gaza was the big issue, plenty of reports also mentioned the town’s air of weary disconnection from Westminster. Paging Hunt, Reeves, Starmer and Sunak: if your actions suggest you are not much interested in these basic aspects of people’s lives, a lot of people will carry on having very little interest in you.It's only what people have been saying on here for months.

The facts that alot of the media won't tell you about the upcoming budget. cuts in NI help small business's too. rich people will always benefit more from universal tax cuts as they pay more in the first place id rather see no cuts in income tax or NI but personal tax allowance must be locked to rise with inflationary pay rises. that is the real tax burden which cheapens our money

However it's difficult to square when you pay tax or NI and then still have to find additional funds to get things that your tax should cover like getting your teeth checked or a GP appointment whilst reading how much of your hard earned finds it's way into fuck-ups and scandals. 2p here or there is just a distraction IMHO - though I appreciate not everyone will agree.

His voting record speaks for itself and is what he should be judged on, not smear campaigns produced by the rich. Last time he sued a politician for defamation he had them donate the winnings to a food bank. Anyone who falls for the media's smear campaign of corbyn is a mug.

She stood in 2019 and she lost. Her vote share actually increased by over 10% in 2017 when she won... under Jeremy corbyn. If you want to blame anyone you can blame the media. Corbyn only became an antisemite phenonom after he recorded labours highest vote share increase since 1945. Only when he became a genuine threat and concern. Ruth Smeeth was parliamentary chair of Jewish Labour Movement (JLM), the very group which tried to disrupt corbyns shadow government at every opportunity. She was an architect of her own demise. And for sake of balance they aren't the only Jewish group with connections to Labour. Jewish voice for labour have always been supportive of Corbyn. Coincidently JLM have done their upmost to prevent Jewish voice for labour from having a voice or any affiliation to the labour party. I'd argue it's antisemetic to try and silence only the voices of non zionist Jews.
