This sort of energy in the White House would be great: He seems good value, might be worth watching highlights of any VP debates of him vs Vance It absolutely would. The contrast would be stark. He’s already started, in fact - at the Philadelphia rally this evening he called for a debate “if JD Vance will get off the couch”. Savage (presuming people know the Vance couch rumour). The internet is exploding here with Tim Walz as “America’s wholesome dad” memes. #BigDadEnergy on Threads and whatnot.

He's gone for the full set there. Just exercising that white privilege🙃 Is there such a thing as ethnic minority privilege? I've seen some shocking videos online this weeks from plenty of the no go areas up and down the UK. What a pity that we don't get the same levels of news coverage for both. Time to start building more prisons. Looks like we're going to have to lock a few thousand more up. And they said that Liz Truss was a poor Prime Minister.

I've said it before but a civilised society should aim for fewer prisons.

Starmer is good, just what we need, unfortunately there is a fifth column of so called patriots who want Labour to fail at all costs, they are already ramping up the online rhetoric for those of a low IQ. It will take at least 2 years for Labour to fix the mess they inherited.

I was brought up racist, not by my parents but the environment I grew up in, there was very little push back from anyone so I just went along with it until sometime in my 20s. Same. I still get angry at my parents sometimes even though they're both gone. Particularly my mum who's my hero and really ought to have known better as she was very intelligent and savvy. Perhaps had she been around to know her granddaughter who was born very early, at 1pd 11oz and looked after by a very skilful Asian doctor, she might have changed. But I'm not sure. Think this is an age thing. Anyone who is receiving the state pension knows quite well that if you wanted to get a laugh from your mates just tell a racist joke or try to imitate the voice of someone whose english is their second language. Unfortunetly racism is not just a white disease but over the last 10 years or so other communities have there own racists. Shopping in areas where there are a number of non white british its not as pleasant as it once was. Anyone who is around dewsbury on a market day should pay it a visit if only to see and be part of a divided community for a few hours. The situation where the left and right differ the most is in their discriptions of immigrants. For the left its the asian doctor keeping the NHS alive and from the right its illegal immigration and grooming gangs that are mentioned. Like every section of every community its a mixture of every thing we can think of.

On many levels I understand looting, capitalism is responsible as much as anything else, if you live hand to mouth you can’t be told “this thing you don’t have, and will make your life as good as mine” 2,000 times a day without feeling shit and when the opportunity presents itself if I has to be tempting Not condoning it, just saying I understand it is more complex Rioting is also very tempting, especially when there is f*ck all else to do in some of these provincial towns Again, not condoning it… Terrorism works, I don’t ever want to see people being targeted but f*ck it, if blowing a building/bridge up gets the attention of bad actors in power then off you go But… Hating someone for the colour of their skin or for their political or religious views; demonising people with nothing, people with far far less opportunity, people with far fewer freedoms… That I will never understand I,d agree if the looting was confined to big companies but not when its a local butcher in hartlepool who gets his shop smashed up and people looting shops where the owner is just trying to scrape a living. No excuse whatsoever as i seriously doubt the looting is confined to people who have less than others in life. Thats where todays society have got it totally wrong. Everyone expects what others have but not all are willing to put the hours or effort into it. Once people knew and expected others to be in a better or worse position than they are in and just accepted it if they could not improve their lot.

What is it that you feel he should have done differently in order to stop racist rioters/domestic terrorists - fueled by inflammatory, false social media posts from Farage et al that sought to exploit the tragic death of three children - from storming hotels and targeting facilities housing asylum seekers, many of whom would not be in such facilities if the previous Government had focused upon processing asylum claims instead of pursuing a moronic, tokenistic scheme to send a handful of people to Rwanda.

It will take at least 2 years for Labour to fix the mess they inherited. Didn,t vote for him but for the good of the whole country its in everyones interest that he comes good. Feel 2 years is being more optimistic than County getting a full fit squad. There are bound to be new problems coming along and it might take 2 years of his second term to clear old and new messes up.

The type of baseless nonsense that fuels what we've seen on the streets in the last week or so.

He needed to put out that everybody should be protected. I think he fanned the flames with that one. And remember the Rochdale lads that were involved in a disturbance at Manchester Airport? Starmer was was pretty quick to come out and speak out on their behalf until it came our that they started it all with their attack on the Police officers. How can we arrest people marching and able to have them up in court the next day when this group have still not been charged with anything despite all the clear video evidence? What we need from the Police and the Government is consistency.

Doubt a non asian would get a job as a taxi driver around my way or an asian getting a job in a small firm who seem to employ whites only. No this is illegal but you can always find good reasons not to employ anyone for reasons of their sex and skin colour. We do need more prisons if you only have to make examples of people but before these riots there was talk of early release. We cannot have both even if circumstances changed within days.

What we need from the Police and the Government is consistency. Because, as I said to Bilby yesterday, it's a complex investigation that involves potential criminal charges for the police officer who kicked and stamped on one of the people involved.

They're attending a protest, so there's obviously going to be a gathering of people at that time; that's not the same as what you're claiming is a 'no-go' area. If you're calling that a 'no-go' area then everywhere protests by the far right were held are 'no-go' areas too.

Its just a lazy description of an area where people can go into but feel, especially after dark, that their presence there is not wanted more by looks than real actions against them.
