  1. I would imagine population DENSITY is more important than total population.

  2. "They have three kids" "Margaret's single daughter Leah has two children" Gonna stop you there...

  3. That black lady was lovely. Wish her optimism was justified.

  4. All the tough guys and racists below saying "it's only words". Imagine your mothers or sisters or kids or little brothers or sisters walking down the street and having to face that from total strangers. And how do they know it will stick at "only words" and not become actual violence? You all need to think outside your smug little bubbles and learn some empathy.

  5. How many victims of cancer bought cigarettes in their local store? How many victims of heart disease? How many victims of alcohol or cars? Don't give me this "6 victims" bullshit. ABUSE is the problem. Criminality comes with drugs because the government has outlawed something that people have a reasonable right to want to do, not because retail is inherrently criminal.

  6. Yes, the world has gone totally crazy.

  7. "Pity" oh no, deepest contempt would be the predominant feeling.

  8. Given the fact that the lockdown has never been properly been enforced, I'm not surprised. Why are you surprised that there are outbreaks given that immunity takes a minimum of a month.

  9. The Tories couldn't be any more bent if they were on Gaytube.

  10. The important thing is, no shareholder portfolios were harmed in the deluge.

  11. Thanks for your contribution. Perhaps your most valuable future contribution would be silence.
    18
  12. Obviously.

  13.  Elfoxoloco  You don't need medical training to recognise if someone's arm is broken, and you don't need a degree in psychology to recognise when a person is regretful, confused or hurting. Shaad likely spends protracted periods of time around her students, and has a relationship and understanding of them far closer than any pychiatrist or doctor that they may see a dozen times.

  14. Well said, and nice to see someone pointing out two critical facts there.
    17
  15. Surely that was the most pathetic "news" report ever.

  16. If people cannot have an expectation of privacy even in private corresponance wit their parent, then right to privacy means nothing. I deeply dislike Markle - I find her entitled, manipulative and gauche, but I'm 100% on her side with this one. The newspapers are a cancer on our society. Glad to see the Mail brought down a step.

  17. Then why the f**k did we all get vaccinated?
    17
  18. Just a reminder - these were not all innocents. At least one of the "protestors" was carrying four nail bombs in his pockets when he was shot. You come armed to kill, expect to get fired at.

  19. He wasted 40 million and then tried to hide 2 million whilst declaring bankrupcy - that means he was literally robbing from people he owed money. He absolutely deserves this.

  20. Jeez, even out of touch old duffers who believe in an invisible friend who will torture you for eternity if you don't love him, know that this plan is BS.

  21. Rioting in your own neighbourhood because of something an outsider did is like punching yourself in the face to protest bullying.

  22.  @punjabigundaa  Just as the UK news goes to great lengths to hide the nationality of criminals in Britain when they are Muslim or middle eastern.

  23. They did. Emergency bed occupancy at 93%.

  24. The "Whinge and scam" tour with star guest covid.

  25. Give it a rest Krishnan. Facebook does not have the power to analyse every single image and video the second it's uploaded to see if it meets your standards. All they can do is work to improve the speed at which objectionable content is removed and blocked. I don't want Facebook acting as total gatekeepers over what I can say or upload. You seem to think that they should dedicate an infinite number of staff working 24/7 viewing every single video the second it goes up.

  26. But you can't give healthcare workers a fair salary.
    16
  27. Irrelevant. The point is, they are having to pay for a service they are PREVENTED from utilising.
    16
  28. How the hell does a kid from a rational nation and a comfortable middle class background become a Muslim in the first place? That said, unless you know he's a terrorist, being a Muslim in Syria is not a crime so far as I'm aware.
    15
  29. I never trust a single word that comes out of a corporate PR department.

  30. Our plan is working" so long as that plan was to needlessly kill 10,000+ people then congratulations.
    15
  31. It's about time they got rid of loony Morrison. Can't wait to do the same to Bozo.

  32. If only travellers were this quaint all year round, but living in a place where they regularly visit, we know when they turn up, crime jumps, and the places where they have stayed are left looking like tips. For people who care so much about freedom, they sure don't have much respect for the places they visit.

  33. Scump is a bully. It's the only tool in his toolkit.

  34. Thousands of males try to teach women to defend themselves and not go to remote places alone, but their offers are slapped away and they are villified for doing so. This is not a male problem any more than all child murders are a woman problem. Do you really think that men voicing their disapproval will stop this sort of behaviour? There will ALWAYS be rapists and murderers. The penalty for getting caught is long terms of prison and possible death and THAT doesn't stop them! Women SHOULD be wary of males. Women SHOULD be wary of going to remote places alone. THAT is the message you should be proclaiming if you genuinely want to help.

  35. This feels like a partial own goal. People HAVE to stop allowing themselves to be photographed nude if the publication of such photos would upset them.
    15
  36. So you're saying sending kids to school in the midst of a rising virulently contagious, airborne pandemic to win a few cheap plitical points simply ends up prolonging and spreading the pandemic whilst needlessly killing people? Well who'd have thought it?
    15
  37. Why would that be unfortunate? If it's less dangerous, who cares if cases go undetected? The entire population can be infected so long as nobody dies.
    15
  38. That was a fantastic answer at the end!
    14
  39. So I can participate in a formally organised sports event outside, but an informal event is not permitted? What kind of BS logic is that?! The virus doesn't give a damn who organised the kick about FFS!
    14
  40. So people who are control freaks are drawn to a career where they can live that personality trait?
    14
  41. Agreed. Except I feel sorry for the intelligent, reasonable, non religious Texans who live in places like Houston.
    14
  42. Let's see, the US has broken one international agreement, gone to war with Iraq on fabricated evidence, and the CIA brought down the democratically elected leader of Iran. Who to believe, who to believe...
    14
  43. Yeah, it's terrible when you invade someone's country, steal their land, then reduce them to the status of third rate citizens after wilfully having tried to breed them out of existence by raping their women, then they fight back. Hate crimes. Yeah.
    14
  44. One person's word against anothers will never, nor SHOULD ever be enough. In a he said/she said situation, corroborating evidence, such as credibility, memory of events and other witnesses is all you have. That's not a "blame culture" that's good policing. I have tremendous sympathy for rape victims, but what alternative do they think is viable beyond presenting that need for corroboration more sympathetically?
    14
  45. It's easy to be generous with someone else's money.
    14
  46. The real travesty is that based on skin colour alone, black males are twice as likely to be convicted as whites. I'm stunned that blacks have not risen up en masse against such injustice.

  47. Israel would be considerably less bold if they stopped receiving financial aid an unequivocal and fawning support from the USA. When Netanyahu dies, the region will move a tiny bit closer to the chance of peace.

  48. Not fooling anyone love. Slippery as an eel. Pin your flag to the mast and be done with - it's easy to stand and throw stones at others! Absolutely no chance Iwould vote for her.

  49. +Jonathan Kumar I'm sure that C4 will be devastated to lose you.

  50. In a world where women routinely get breast enlargement, men get penis lengthening, and everybody gets fat sucked out of their lazy bodies, and their faces hacked up simply for vanity, there really isn't a strong moral argument against allowing gender reassignment surgery, which is about the fundamental person that they feel they are.
