Anyone else see BBC Spotlight this evening when Evey Gordon a mixed race young woman born in Derriford, now living I believe in Cornwall, recited her poem about what this has been like. No? Well, click on this link and then you can https://twitter.com/BBCSpotlight/status/1270052906553794560
You mean the one that gave him that definition of retard without pointing out that it is now used as a term of insult? No thanks.
Sometimes, you know, even I am lost for words!
@Burneside - anyone else 'caught' transgressing the rules who held positions of authority have resigned or at the very least apologised. Cummings has done neither. And whether he or you like it or not his position in No 10 means he is in a position of authority. If he cocks a snoop at what people are supposed to do, or not supposed to do, then others will follow suit. It is as ...
Of course Cummings is involved in the policy decisions of Number 10.! What do you think his job is?! Of course he is involved in the writing of the rules. The problem with the lack of resignation of Cummings/sacking of him by Boris is that it sends out the message that if Cummings can hypocritically break/bend rules that he has been involved in formulating then so can everyone else. ...
No double standards Burneside. For.They. Are. Not. Part. Of. The. Group. Which. Makes. The. Covid. Rules. (apologies for using a two syllable word - I did try very hard to use only one syllable ones in order to aid your comprehension) PS Rosie Duffield did the honorable thing and resigned her post as a Labour whip. Unlike a certain unelected SPAD. PPS and then there's the matter ...
Did the authorities take any action against Dominic Cummings? No. And neither did Boris. So is it any wonder that people are doing what the hell they like. I'm only surprised that you seem surprised.
Given that Cllr Taylor's name was mentioned in the above press release I thought I'd see if I could find anything by googling his name. Found his facebook page. There is a recent thread on there concerning the latest proposals from network rail to revamp Dawlish station. Seems to me from reading the thread that Cllr Taylor is expressing his disquiet concerning aspects of the proposed design ...
The number of police killings in the US disproportionately affects African Americans. Despite only making up 13 percent of the US population, Black Americans are two-and-a-half times as likely as white Americans to be killed by the police. https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/interactive/2020/05/mapping-police-killings-black-americans-200531105741757.html About 20 percent of ...
Truly appalling. But did they then kneel on his neck and suffocate him? No. George Floyd, as I understand it, was already handcuffed and on the ground. If the police officer wished to further control him, if Floyd was resisting arrest, then the police officer could have have had a gun pointed at Floyd given that the US police are armed in that way. Or had him tasered perhaps. Or used ...
