People should also remember the other knee was on George Floyds back. Thus also inhibiting his ability to breathe. It doesn't have quite the shock factor of a knee on the back of the neck, but it's quite reasonable to believe that this was actually what killed him. IIRC BlackMac was saying this was...

You have a lot of support for this post, but in my case at-least, I went out of my way to be clear that it would not be dolled out as any type of punishment nor deterant. As you have said before, your views on the death penalty are not that it is a punishment nor a deterrent, but simply that the co...

Says a lot.

I don't price myself so highly. 1 can of Aldi super strength lager and a night in Scunthorpe and I'd inject horse piss.

Violence tend to be mimetic, I'm not sure the death penalty makes societies less violent, I actually believe the opposite. Indeed, the state is endorsing the idea that revenge and murder can be deserved. yep, on a side note there has always been "exceptions" to the "thou shall not kill rules" in ev...

I find myself in a self contradictory position on this. On the one hand, I am totally opposed to the death penalty in any circumstance, even for the most terrible crimes and when guilt is certain. On the other hand, I don't have any real issue with drone strikes targeting individuals who are known ...

If I've understood your point: your decision to invest is based on a belief that investment is self-evidently socially necessary and for that reason you probably won't be backing a lame horse provided you've spread your money around a bit. My reasoning is fairly simple. It is that usually, once it ...

EU orders AstraZeneca to hand over ALL vaccines made at Dutch plant funded by UK taxpayer - Isn't that just slightly unlawful? Invest in the EU27 & risk the totalitarian European Commission taking over isn't a sensible investment strategy. And now the EU is trying to discredit the J&J vaccine. They...

Is anyone in the EU actually going to be held accountable for the mess they have made of the vaccination rollout? There is clearly a lot of 'blame game' both internally and externally going on but is there anyone actually accountable for the situation? Its easy to say the blame ends at the top but ...

Guys, you're making me sick with your xenophobia. France is struggling with its third wave of COVID epidemic, just like the UK did earlier. Make it an nationalist issue if you want. Piss on France if that floats your boat. But look at figures and stats in context. Hold up! It's about Macron rubbish...

Developed a cheap and effective vaccine in record time and quickly established a global supply network to distribute it at cost price? I can definitely see why people who don't trust "Big Pharma" would be paranoid about that as it totally undermines their position. The Oxford vaccine is a wonder of...

claiming they "made a complete mess of trials" is rather ridiculous, seeing as they were one of the first to produce an approved vaccine. they are guilty of overpromising and underachieving in terms of production and delivery, but they are hardly alone in this. There you go defending AZ without bot...

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the last few months, when Boris Johnson and the current UK government are made to look comparatively sensible and reasonable, you have to question WTF is happening elsewhere.

Perhaps some sort of check of a person's suitability for having a gun should be carried out. Wanting a gun would be one of the key indicators that they are unsuitable in my view.

No it’s not. :lol: It means you need to do ‘all and anything that could be done’ to fulfill your obligations. You’re thinking of ‘reasonable endeavours’ which is a bit more waffly.

What we have here is a bunch of loud mouth gobshites giving their (worthless) opinion on something they don’t really have the first clue about.

Almost every interview you see on the TV whether politics or sport is no longer about getting information for the benefit of the viewers. It is either about emotion "how did you feel" or it is trying to get a "gotcha" moment.

Explaining the "strange anomaly", Sky News' Rowland Manthorpe said: "Essentially, there is no way to recover, statistically. So, if I tested positive for COVID-19 today and then I got hit by a bus tomorrow, then COVID-19 would be listed as my cause of death." https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-...
