Part of the problem is people having a deposit ready and means to pay rent, and putting in offers on flats at or above the asking price and still getting knocked back because there’s twenty other people bidding for the flat. It’s not just people who lack the skills to cope with day to day living, although I appreciate that those living quietly in B&Bs or sofa surfing won’t cross Thomo2010’s path.

What were you expecting Chinahand? Surely the title and Guy Ritchie credit points to a half-assed Cockney As inglorious bastards.

Actually, I would suggest, the motivation is to cause terror and to use that terror to leverage your cause. A false bomb threat only threatens violence but could be terrorism. Equally it doesn’t need to be aimed at government. A militant climate change protestor attacking bank staff to get the board to divest from oil, would be terrorist.

Hatred? Revenge? Money? But I think there needs to be a desire to create terror for an act to be terrorist. So this attack could very well be terrorist without being Islamicist.

Imagine if the king condemned the rioters.

Looks like they are in Liverpool ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy8497l7dx8t?post=asset%3A8f270c1f-4eb2-4202-bfac-d1a3d08dd53e#post and Sheffield, Southampton, London, Bristol, Harrow, Newcastle ...

Now do Killey.

Mmm. Is the attack necessarily a product of multiculturalism? Are people jumping to another conclusion just as they did around Islam. He was born and raised and educated in Britain. In a predominantly white middle class village. To a family that were active in the local church. He’s described as a quiet lad who never went out. Is not an equally plausible explanation that he’s an incel (the attack was against girls after all) or has mental health issues? There’s too little known right now to come to any conclusion about cause let alone extrapolate that to draw conclusions about the general state of the nation.

Generally but I guess there has to be fairness in the decision making process e.g. you can’t refuse to sell someone a cake because they’re gay but you can if it supports a cause you disagree with. You can deny Nigel Farage premium banking facilities because he does have enough funds for your service you can’t because of his politics. So you can decide who you do business with, but only if you follow a non-discriminatory process.

Victim blaming.

Reardon is twenty-five years older than Davis.

It’s worth pointing out, as Roger has, how little legislation is taking place at the moment. People moaned about this and the removal of the bishop’s vote wasting time. But the Keys only meet once a week and Tynwald once a month. If there were legislation that was being crowded out (and there isn’t) then they could sit for longer. I think if Cannon had his way they wouldn’t be debating Assisted Dying. To be honest it isn’t my priority but it is for many people. Should they ignore those people and not discuss this issue. Maybe they’d be finished by lunch.

It's interesting that neither her or Obama are descendents of American slaves. In fact three of their parents emigrated to America for study from newly independent Commonwealth countries. I wonder if the same opportunities exist for today's kids.
