ah well my error was not suspecting you had made an error - rather I thought you were somehow trying to argue that UK is just as bad as US for criminal gun shootings. So sorry
-
you posted about Birmingham UK in the President of US thread - why?

more than 10 times, my bad AI Overview The chance of being shot dead is dramatically higher in the U.S. than in the UK, with some sources indicating the U.S. rate can be hundreds of times greater. For example, in 2021, the U.S. rate was 4.31 deaths per 100,000 people, compared to the UK's rate of 0.013 per 100,000, which is over 300 times lower. The U.S. has one of the highest rates of gun violence among high-income countries, while the U.K. has one of the lowest. U.S. vs. UK Gun Death Rates U.S. (2021): 4.31 deaths per 100,000 people UK (2021): 0.013 deaths per 100,000 people Key Factors in the Disparity Gun Availability and Regulation: The U.S. has a much higher rate of gun ownership and less stringent gun control compared to the U.K., where obtaining a firearm involves a very rigorous licensing process. Societal Context: The U.S. experiences a wide range of gun violence, including mass shootings, while in the U.K., gun violence is primarily associated with criminal activity, such as gang violence. Global Standing: The U.S. is an outlier among high-income nations for its high levels of gun violence.

dunno, but the tape outside his cell a bit fishy, continuous footage over several hours, but with at least a minute missing maybe more. I thought even the FBI could have been involved. If you look through his Wiki page it says about the prosecutor or other official in the plea deal being told by higher up words ti the effect ' he belongs to intelligence its above your pay grade' Maybe far fetched, but they could have swapped out the cctv gaurd weeks before, then strangled him

after you posted that I (allegations after Epstein's death) - I read some of his Wikipedia page 1. Yes the girls were younger than I thought, as young as 14 in the indictment he was in jail for 2 various reports of surveillance camera systems in toilets and bedrooms of some of his properties - made me think he may have had tapes of associates with girls/women kept as 'insurance' 3 mulitiple sources say the tape of the communal area outside his cell has a minute or more missing - so powerful people may have had him killed, made to look like suicide (not probably Trump btw!, although it would have been bad for Trump he could at least have pardoned himself as was still Potus) the post mortem found broken bones sometimes associated with hanging, but more frequently strangulation 4 gory details about the sex in the indictment - most of the time Epstein got them to undress fully or partially, then jerked himself off, and touched and groped them while they gave him a massage, afterwards paying them hundreds of dollars each time - of course it's bad to do it with 14 year olds, but the wiki detailed several older girls who went to the island 18 year olds, some were really beautiful. 5 If you've got money women is probably the best thing to spend it on - keep it bang on 18 and above to avoid problems - even though Henry 8th got away with marrying Katherine Howard when she was 16

Anyone recognise this tree?

I didn't know about the asymmetric leaf base, but the corky bark with wings made me think elm. Narrowing the species down would be the difficult bit. -
It's like Taxi Driver starring Steven P as Travis, blows the pedo guy away, cool as a cucumber

If these young women were 16 or 17 at the time it is not really any different to Burlusconi and Ruby The Heart Stealer. Child sex offender - seems shagging anyone under 18 in the states is enough to earn that label

customers have given me old bottles of port that have been off, only viintage port keeps hopefully these 2 were still drinkable by all the nonces last night After dinner hosted by the King and Queen, guests will be served Warre’s 1945 vintage port, in recognition of Mr Trump’s role as the 45th, as well as the 47th, president of the United States and because it is the closest vintage port year to his birth year. A Hennessy 1912 Cognac Grande Champagne will be on offer in recognition of the President’s mother Mary Anne MacLeod’s birth year.

as you know the migrants arrive at the southern border not just from Mexico, but many other countries too, even as far off as India. How can the US possibly turn all those countries into places people want to stay in? Also why have you ignored my question about Epstein?

of course there will be human suffering due to greed, always has been. Some of these companies will use AI to develop more effective chemotherapy drugs. So we will be kept alive to prolong the suffering under our new masters
-
I took Steven's quote to mean - stop people leaving in the first place (leave from poor (e.g Mexico, Venezuela and travel to rich (US). Regardless of what SP meant - Trump has sorted that one thing, for now. Maybe only a temporary fix, but even the Earth is temporary over a long timespan.
-
sorry - your posts are normally coherent and intelligent, but you've lost me here. I was highlighting Trump's success at stopping illegals at the southern border. How many of those arriving at the border are from Denmark, UK, Australia, Singapore?
-
ok his parents are Born 27 July 1976 (age 49)[4] London, England[4]

need to work out how to stop people leaving in the first place - Trump has done this by making them realize there's no point leaving their home country to make their way to the southern border, because they will be removed immediately. Yes if the Democrats get in and decide to open the floodgates there will be, perhaps not half the world's poor, but as many as can make the journey. Tens of millions from south america alone. To address this thing besmirching Trump for associating with Epstein - all I've seen of Epstein's conviction is for soliciting sex with a minor - can you show us some news stories where you read about just how bad a child rapist Epstein was? I'm sure you said something like he raped 12 year olds? Have you actually read news reports that specifically mention the ages of girls and that he was prosecuted for raping them? So rather than constant accusations - how about compile your references? I don't know either way, but you seem to think you know the ins and outs (poor phrasing) of Epstein's crimes in great detail.

there's no reason some of our computer scientists can't continue to lead on AI we need both heavy industry and emerging technologies, obviously industry is more labour intesive, providing more jobs, but welding etc will become increasingly robotised. Sir Demis Hassabis (born 27 July 1976) is a British artificial intelligence (AI) researcher and entrepreneur. He is the chief executive officer and co-founder of Google DeepMind[8] and Isomorphic Labs,[9][10][11] and a UK Government AI Adviser.[12] In 2024, Hassabis and John M. Jumper were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their AI research contributions for protein structure prediction.[13][14]

Trump promised to cut illegal immigration and he has. Half the worlds poor were streaming across the southern border. To constantly criticize Trump and not try to look for any positives is just mush. Even Trump's tariffs I can see where he's coming from. Changing away from cheap labour in foreign countries is ambitious, but not impossible. The UK is the same - we used to be shipbiulders for the world - then people discovered you could teach Philipinos to do it for less. All the imported cars on UK roads and mobile phones made in asia. To my mind its so important to develop and protect home grown industries that people should be made to accept we pay more for it. Sometimes even our own navy ships have been built abroad for the sake of saving. A big nuclear power station goes up and we can't do it ourselves. Trump isn't as bad as all the utter shite thats lead to our decline (over the last 100 years). We shouldn't need EDF to put up a nuclear powerstation. Nuclear engineering should be a GCSE at gunpoint

that is an interesting post - to grasp the whole history of the Arabs and the Jews back to before Jerusalem would take a while and give a better perspective. I know Jews throughout the world have faced pogroms, but during the Crusades europeans murdered plenty of Arabs. The history that is being written now - Netanyahu is a modern day crusader - slaughtering Arabs and stealing their land
-
No one would be saying genocide is too strong a term if it were all the Arab countries invading Israel and leveling all the residential buildings, killing tens if thousands. It's been a blockade for years. Israel dont own the sea around Gaza. If only the whole of europe and UK would send all their destroyers and carriers on the same path as Greta flotilla. Countries dont care enough, declaring war on Israel is almost declaring war on US. New York has 2 million Jews, many of whom made sure they donated enough to both parties. 2 of these boats and a few subs do some damage to Israeli air force. We just need to get hold of the keys
