Britain - The Official Thread

[Liquid]

I wonder why the Heil isn't focusing on Welby's relationship with King Charles, Supreme Governor of the Church of England.

Strange.

Armed with that information, is 3 years and 4 months appropriate when you have no jail time for this guy:

Yeh

I assume you’re discounting…

• Made £15k selling illegally modified streaming devices (Amazon Firesticks) to over 500 people.
• Had previous convictions for fraud.
• Was on license at the time of the offense (probation is a term people outside the UK may know better).
• After serving three years for dealing cocaine.

You’re really so far down a **** covered rabbit hole you know long can see which way is up.

I’m actually starting to pitty you and getting concerned for your mental well-being. You seem to live in a world dominated by negative media which is spun on purpose to draw people with nothing but anger or hate deep within and try and draw it to the surface.

Then as others have pointed out you lay this as a foundation to a good talking point to get your thoughts across. Then when you’re asked to act in better faith and provide other sources of information or take into account other details which debunk or at least show other reasoning you just blindly lead on.

I take back my statement of “tantamount to trolling” and I put fourth you are trolling.

Sad really as you seemed like quite an impassioned and clever person.

So, what we have presently is a massive prison crisis where some prisons are down to hardly any space left for new inmates. People who are involved with the system are looking at the Netherlands and Texas (as examples) for ideas on how to fix it, with things like better technology being mooted as well as reduced sentencing for some offences (both those examples have seen a reduction in prisoners per capita; Texas has also seen a reduction in the crime rate).

So far, I've been using BBC Radio 4, LBC, The Times, Twitter, Reddit, New Statesman, Prospect, Vox, Unherd, Mirror, Daily Mail, Guardian, Independent among others to keep abreast of current UK/international affairs. What do you recommend adding?

It's very, very hard to ignore issues which is what you seem to be suggesting....

The head-in-the-sand approach is tempting but not really my bag.

The problem is....we're still discussing "me" and not producing productive discussion. It's very narrowly focussed and if we don't move on, what's the point of posting?

Definitely passionate about improving the country/preventing a Trumpian response from the electorate. Not sure about "clever".

So close to getting it...
