Britain - The Official Thread

It's looking for an argument rather than just accepting it as an accident. When adding the description of the item, it makes sense to run from the top down - if it had an old man-style elasticated waist, then that would come first.

It reminded me of when Halfords had complaints from customers because they used 'girls' and 'boys' to describe bikes, claiming that they were being discriminatory against girls.

You might have a different perspective if you're actually in the group being discriminated against. Sure it's an accident but that doesn't mean they shouldn't change it if they want to. Saying "suck it up and deal with it" might not be a good look for Sainsbury's if racists decide to reuse their ads in hate posts.

if you're actually in the group being discriminated against

Who was being discriminated against?

 

[UKMikey]

Who was being discriminated against?

It's a phrase used by race hate groups. They do a lot of discrimination. Once pointed out to Sainsbury's, their letting the description stand would've been as much of a statement as removing it was.

**** it. I give up.

Lucky that guy was passing with a mobile phone to film the assault. I hope the victim recovers okay.

Turns out that the victim was quite the violent asshole before they started filming.

doesn't mean you can kick someone in the head when he is lying prone face down....

Oh, no doubt about that, but still, not exactly a victim if you're beating up several officers.

Cruella finding out she’s too extreme even for Tory MPs. She’ll be joining Nigel’s lot soon enough.

The other leadership contenders aren’t much better. How long before they bring back Boris?

Rentagob Reform MP Richard Tice seems to be convinced lefties won't prosecute him. It's not up to them. We have a Crown Prosecution Service to decide that.

She took a bit of a pasting when she stood in for James Obrian on LBC. The video of it is on YouTube.

Someone at the station must have considered that a cunning stunt. Bring back Sangita.

To be honest good riddance, however I suspect he’ll be having a good time and thinking he’s a big lad on the run, likening himself to Ronnie Biggs etc.

If he’s crossed into France they should catch him and drop him in the middle of the Migrant Camps telling them who he is and what he stands for. See how long he lasts and how much of a tough guy he is.

likening himself to Ronnie Biggs

A chump of no significance to the bigger picture around him?

I'll honestly be shocked if Tommy Ten Names hasn't been granted asylum by Putin's toad by the end of the week.

 

[UKMikey]

Do "MI6" or SIS even have a watchlist for internal British threats? I thought that was MI5's job. Perhaps that's why the BBC article doesn't mention MI6 at all.

On the other hand BS website Channel 3 Now are currently peddling this frankly ridiculous "exclusive" to rile up credulous nativists who seem to be lapping it up on Xitter despite Greater Merseyside Police having yet to make an official announcement, presumably due to the laws surrounding minors.

Ignorant fools really believe the first thing they read online and spread those lies everywhere, including here.

Some actual facts - "The BBC has learnt the 17-year-old suspect was born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents. He had moved to the Southport area in 2013 - he is still being questioned by police"

Very, very sad news 3 young girls are dead and at least 7 other people, including 5 children, are critically injured.

Let's just hope that those currently fighting for their lives pull through.

The suspect in the Southport attacks has been named. Usually the name wouldn’t be reported as he’s 17, but he turns 18 in a few days and the authorities likely advised the judge to make this ruling to counter the fake news being spread online about his identity.

Fun to see the big man, who'll no doubt rant on social media about trans-women under the guise of protecting women, singling out the female cop for his abuse.

Much funnier to see the malligator get a snack.
