City of London Police recorded a hate complaint from a man who claimed he had been given a dodgy haircut.
The Lithuanian said his barber was "aggressive and rough" because he spoke Russian.
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,870
Quote: Chappers @ 22nd November 2024, 7:12 AMI don't quite understand this that we've sold these weapons to Ukraine but if they've used them it's our fault. Once they own them surely they can do what they want with them. They are weapons. That's their very purpose.
It's like saying I'll sell you a record player but you can't play any records on it.
I wouldn't worry about it, Chappers. Trump is almost certain to cave in to Putin and sell out Ukraine, leading to it being partitioned and Putin keeping the land he's invaded. Then Putin will regroup and rebuild and attack again in 3 or 4 years.

I think if t's reported they have to log the complaint.
Probably why they invented the rather daft NCHI (Non-Crime Hate Incident).
Because you know full-well that if something escalated and they didn't log the complaint, you'd get another anti-police headline.
Anyway, the bloke withdrew the complaint.
I presume the hair grew back.

It will be interesting to see if trump keeps all the US economic sanctions against Russia
The 'commie, Marxist leftist Democrat thugs' have sanctioned Putin up the arse
If trump abandons all that for Putin- that makes him a commie, Marxist thug?
Policing: I was under the impression that the 'two tier' accusations had started of the left and been adopted by the right to point to alternate circumstances. I don't subscribe to the label myself as it's far too simplistic, but policing in this country is definitely broken and inconsistent. I wouldn't trust any of them an inch.
Weapons: There's some insanity attached to the use of such armaments, whereby the donating (or selling!) country usually has effective veto of how and where they're used. I understand the long-range missiles were given to Ukraine by both the US and UK on the proviso they were only used within Ukraine's borders without further approval. (Ridiculous.)
Putin: Monster. We need to take him on. This 1937-like appeasement is sickening.

Let's not let off Obama, Cameron and Merkel (et al) who allowed him to start it in 2014 with no consequences.

Not necessarily. But we do already know he's a cretin.

First occurred in Telegram chats in 2019 apparently - so one would presume of right-wing origin.
Got a bit of traction from anti-lockdown types during Covid, then a bit more during BLM and most of all during the Southgate Riots.
#TwoTierKeir even got picked up by Elon Musk - though what the f**k it's got to do with him, I don't know.
But certainly a right-wing thing, actively promoted by Fürage & Co.
Oh, and yes, 2014 was a massive failure by the West.
Musk is a total ringpiece.
And a hypocrite too
"Elon Musk briefly worked illegally in the US after abandoning a graduate studies program in California, according to a Washington Post report that contrasted the episode with the South African multibillionaire's anti-immigration views"

I think one ends up in the kind of town where you feel most comfortable.
