Are you sure? Too much scuba gas frying your memory I fear.

I remember the Southport attacks well, some close friends who were affected from Southport. I took an interest. JohnsonD did indeed jump on the bandwagon accusing Rudakubana of acting in the name of a religion and for parroting the news stories sent out (by Farage?) that he was a recent immigrant. The posts he made were purely for political and racist point scoring.

"The devil finds work for idle hands"... if we were all sat about doing not a lot with the machines doing it all some of us would find useful things to do (that the machines weren't doing), but there would be a greater portion who would be doing things for their own ends - and some of them will be criminal things. I reckon got to keep the population busy with a purpose to keep society on track,

Am sure there is a joke in there about getting his ring destroyed.

There are plenty of people on this and other forums who I don't agree with all the time. There are plenty of people on this and other forums who don't agree with me all the time. (they are usually wrong but we'll agree to disagree on that point) However no one on this forum apart from you is pushing a racist agenda and I think if you take the time to read, comprehend, understand the comments pretty much no one is accusing those they disagree with as racists, or pushing a racist agenda... apart from you. Why would that be?

100 people killed by terrorists in the last 20 years: A bit more context, 11,400 just plain old murders in that time. About 14,000 died falling down stairs. About 200 people killed Scuba diving. 27,700 ended up in hospital with a slippers related accident. Good to be reminded of the statistics, be careful out there folks

Unfortunately doesn't work if the suspect is -not white- or an immigrant, they they jump up and down with even more vigour to try to insinuate a link between the action and it being the fault of being -not white-, a religion, or immigrant where they are (often) just murderers.

Just seamed a coincidence when you look at the countries he is having a go at in the last couple of weeks

So Trumpy is wanting to go into Nigeria "All guns blazing". Last week it was Venezuela. I think next week Kazakhstan or Somalia - he is just working his way down the oil producing countries trying to get cheap oil to prop up his presidency. Also to note, The ceasefire in Gaza is working swimmingly, only friendly missiles being fires about these days Putin is still invading Ukraine The Epstein files and names haven't been released officially yet He was given a nice golden bribe, sorry crown the other week, though he isn't a king, as the protests show ICE raids have gone a bit quiet with the realisation that actually it isn't as popular as he thought Trump commented this week that a few TV presenters who criticise him are doing so 'illegally' Dementia like symptons are increasing... despite his continued attacks that Biden was not there mentally.. Trump is going the same way quicker Financially, the word he invented, Groceries, still costing a lot more than when he took power and promised they would drop, inflation higher than when he took power... but don't worry, his billionaire pals and family are richer than they were a year ago so all is good. He threw a million dollar party Friday night.., while government shutdown means many will not get their social money this week, "let them eat cake" (noting surrounded by 20 year old girls dancing) Oh, did I mention Epstein "can't believe you guys are still talking about that" His success is limited I think

Whatever you say, simply must be true. Idiot.

There's more than 2 and I've never had a problem - been in far worse pubs if your from 'down south' - but they have usually been awesome nights as well once the locals realise you're not a tit.

Seams to me that too many people are jumping up and down accusing all who do murders and are -not white- as being a terrorist, as opposed to a murderer. Seams to me that we should just call them what they are - murderers - regardless of skin colour, religion, country of birth (or their great grand parents country of birth). Take the religion, colour, nationality out news reports and report 'murders', perhaps there will be some bias removed from what you all read... this story is horrific but has been discussed for the last 10 pages, not because someone went out attacking, but discussed because half the forum don't like their skin colour. Might need to shake your heads a bit, all nationalities do murders. Maybe need to stop all of them?

Could have tried joining the IRA and then popped into the local protestant church then?

So ban all religions. Easy.

So we will just sweep the victims under the carpet because the family are grabbing all they can get? (she was 17, Andrew 35, Epstein went on abusing till he was in his 50s and the victims were as young as 11... but sweep that away, ignore that, if the families are out for some retribution)

50p beer was proper shit beer though, the dregs from whatever brewery had a few barrels 'best before' last week style.

Like it was the mid 90s again!

For legality, she was 17 and in the UK so it was all 'legal', however he was mid thirties so definitely not something that you can defend. As to what Roberts was told to do, not sure Andrew was the instigator in those demands or whether Maxwell and Epstein were the only ones demanding she slept with him as a 'gift'. So legal in the UK... but nothing you can defend I reckon. Like Trump I reckon he knew exactly what Epstein was up to, and is complicit in those crimes also by his silence.

Think I was about £18 last night for beer, wine and a couple of cans of coke.. last time I was in a 'spoons, the beer was a reasonable couple of ££.. which does make you wonder if they can do it why are the rest so much more. However... 30 whatever years ago in the big market you could get a pint for 50p, made the £1 a pint taste reasonable.. but at the £1 a pint, double the price every 10 years for inflation? - 1 (0 years), 2 (10 years), 4 (20 years), £8 (30 years) a pint might actually be the going rate. We are just bitter and twisted (sorry, an intentional beer pun)

He is of course the wrong colour, born in the wrong country, and has the wrong amount of wealth for that to happen.

Not AI but I wouldn't buy a wet belt car again - replacement cost made it a financial write off Some automation in cars is a good thing I reckon - warnings and sensors, not sure I want them taking over though. We did have one - the one with the wet belt - that would park itself, maybe a moaning old man but most of the time I forgot it was there. Not really AI though having a beep if you are getting closer to a vehicle in front or a parking sensor though, just electronics.

"Swivel-eyed loons" !

Yup, saw this on TV last night and made a suitable donation. It is a nice part of the world, you should take a trip up there (Kielder on the edge of this plot of land is one of the UKs dark skies areas - great for stars, and the RAF will blast up and down there every now and then to wake you up). For reference just east of the middle of the country, about 25 to 30 miles from Blyth so not too far away from any of us.

no it hasn't. Montreal agreement universally banned CFC and other harmful gasses - every country in the world signed up to that it was that important - and the hole in the ozone stopped growing at the same rate, this was about 30 years ago. Currently it hasn't repaired itself, it is still about the same size. To note it took about 10 years to be created, estimates reckon another 40 years or something for it to repair itself.

I'll give you an analogy for the CO2 thing - the article say very little CO2 in the atmosphere so how can it have an effect. Go to the chippy on Friday night, get your portion of chips (say about 1kg), add salt (say 5g, or 0.5%)... and now tell me that 0.5% of stuff has no effect.
