I don’t think not renewing of the Bibby Stockholm is down to conditions, more than the end of a very expensive contract used to show how ‘tough’ the tories were being. |

Depends which way you slice it.
It’s equally correct to say most crimes are carried out by poorer people.
If we focussed on poverty not race we’d be better off IMO. |

If the agenda is making sure the law is applied correctly to those who break it then I totally agree. |

Agree with this.
If there was ongoing danger from the person on the floor or the situation, the police officer’s actions were completely justified.
If it wasn’t and he kicked and stamped on the head of someone after the threat had gone, he should be jailed. |

I don’t want to see a GB football team at the Olympics.
Not specifically football, but I don’t think any event where the Games isn’t the pinnacle should be there.
See also golf, tennis etc. |

I haven’t watched the video tbf but I don’t see the link between saying he can’t breathe before being contained and then being kneeled on for the best part of 9 minutes afterwards.
You’ve seen the video, does it say that doing that after being cuffed is in the constraint guidelines?
I can’t see how following guidelines leads to a 22 year murder sentence. |

Guns, gays and God.
They’re why no matter how bad our leaders have been, the US is a different level altogether. |

I think JoN nailed it early on with summising the facts.
1. Floyd was a stain on society
2. He resisted arrest and the force used to contain him was entirely reasonable and proportional
3. After he was contained the officer killed him
I don’t see what else there is 🤷🏻 |

I’d imagine that those who voted Reform (particularly those in the Clacton constituency) were hoping Nigel Farage would be in parliament representing their views and challenging the new government.
Except he’s following Trump around in the US. [Post edited 19 Jul 20:38]

A good example of GB News doing just this is the way the framed yesterday's abhorrant incident in Leicester.
Their TV program and online stuff showed (video, Op Eds and stills) the actions of almost exclusively non-white young men when (sadle) it was all colours and ages involved.
I don't like the tone and politics of the Mail, however, they do have some good columnists and have done some excellent investigative pieces.
It'snot comparable to GB News and even further away is Talk TV, which is the only outlet mentioned on here that I won't click on. |

Exposing Trump's family corruption and bribary didn't make any difference though, did it? |

There are only 2 European countries with better reading results at 15 than those in England. Estonia and Ireland (who speak English, obviously)
At primary level, England are the 4th best readers in the world.
What are you basing your findings on? |

The underlying method is the same but it’s much much more robustly done in England.
There is also a far higher level of accountability around it than in wales. [Post edited 18 Jul 19:34]

Yes Rayns,
The school systems are very different and I don’t know that much about the wales schools system so tend not to comment.
What I do know is that standards are better than in India! |

Times are challenging for all and increasingly so for children.
However, most are bright, kind, positive, helpful, thoughtful and talented. |
