Case in point !! Really !!

That was a fair request I thought, I was genuinely busy 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Seeing as you do like a question I threw a bit of humour in at the end to avoid a can you explain x y and z session. You could possibly do with lightening up a bit bud. 
Troll is well up there with the likes of Woke and New Normal in the scale of stupid PC bullshit words as far as I’m concerned. 
If you want a private conversation PM the guy.

Find out about the Local Authority Treescapes Fund and how to apply for funding to increase tree planting and natural regeneration in local communities in England.

Could be something interesting, but I wouldn’t mind betting that by the time the funds filter down it will almost all be spend on admin

2.7mil split (unevenly) between 156 ‘authorities.’ 
 

Might as well just throw it in the wind for all the good that’ll do.... 😂

Absolute disgrace the amount of cost cutting by successive governments year after year. No one seems to learn the lessons of history.

it’s all well and good to keep using covid as an excuse but as is plain here this is nothing more than wanting to hang onto and create more and more powers.

Wor Majeed often recounts his own perceived experiences of injustice, and even today opined on the inappropriate stance the Home Secretary took in seeking to bring ‘fear’ to criminals before they had even been tried and found guilty - I presume he was intimating that they were not criminals until after having been found guilty - a stance Id take issue with since ‘they’ would be criminals after having committed a criminal offence rather than after having been found guilty of doing so. But that’s a point to debate all on its own. 
 

The question I wanted to pose however was, since it is reported that the suspect in the current abduction/murder case has been hospitalised with head injuries twice in the short time in police custody, (a) is this not a case of a ‘pre-criminal’ being mistreated in police custody (especially given wor Majeed’s immediately previously stated discomfort with people being classified as crim’s prior to having stood trial) and (b) what would the reaction have been had said crim have been BAME and hospitalised twice in a week whilst in police custody. 
 

Odd isn’t it that a black career criminal dies resisting arrest in the US and creates such global outrage but that a white police officer in police custody gets his head kicked in (twice in a week) and it is barely noteworthy.

 

Whether he deserves it or not is not relevant - mistreatment in police custody is patently unlawful regardless of ethnicity.  
 

Is it only newsworthy when it affects BAME though?

Not convinced it's to do with the colour of his skin really. The news needs an audience and I imagine few viewers want them to 'support' the Cop who abducted and murdered someone.

 

I've not heard mention of any actual allegations that the suspect was assaulted in custody. It might be suggested that the injuries were self-inflicted
