I have seen a couple of girls looking stuck and helped them out. I made sure they took a picture of the reg and passed it on. To me it makes sense, increasing the chances of someone being found out makes them less likely to be a danger.

My pet hate is realising I am walking behind some girl who has started looking nervous. There is very little you can do to alleviate it. If you slow down it looks suspicious, and they don't want you near them so it is hard to walk past to get in front. It is a price most men face because of other people misgivings.

Doesn't change the fact they murdered people deliberately.

You should not be arrested for protesting. This is a direct contravention of article 11 of the human rights act.

All well and good but with a FPTP system you cannot vote for what you want and expect to get it. If we had PR then that would be a different story.

The world could use more celebrities doing this. Kudos to her.

Not really a surprise when you consider just how bad the cost of living crisis is to some people.

I can understand restrictions on upcoming events, but there is nothing wrong with releasing them after they have been used. It is not like someone is going to go back in time to commit an offence.

There is nothing in this that reflects the title. It's nothing more than passive propaganda. They are relying on people to just read the title and not open the link.

What is actually said is:

And let me just end by saying that this reflects the political reality that nations are sovereign. Nations decide themselves, and Ukraine has of course the right to decide its own path. And it's up to Ukraine and NATO Allies to decide when Ukraine becomes a member. Russia cannot veto membership for any sovereign independent state in Europe.

Denys Davydov did video on these type of comments about a week ago. He dragged up a lot of newspaper front pages of the invasion of the Nazis in 1945. There was a ton of articles stating just how slow the move was going. An attacking force is always going to have a hard time against a very entrenched enemy. You also have to remember Ukraine does not have a good air force until they get those pilots trained up for the F-16. They are making gains and are knocking on the second defence line in two areas. Any gains Russia has made they loose 2 days later, with the exception of Bakhmut.

We have to ban foreign nationals owning our media. They do not purchase media companies as business interests anymore; it is only ever about changing public opinion.

Neither article nor the OP have credible conclusions to what is happening in China. China is in a debt spiral where possible options are becoming more and more expensive. The biggest property builder (Evergrande) has overstretched and there is a fear it is about to collapse. The people buy property in advance in China, before construction has started. The government will have to step in, but this is going to be expensive by anyone's standards. Think along the lines of the banking collapse of 2008 and then remember this is straight after Covid.

China's belt and road initiative is faring badly. They have loaned large sums to countries that were bad risks. With the world in the state it is currently, a lot of those debts will default. Russia is touted as being one of those, but I think they will give Russia a deal in exchange for cheaper oil. It is not like Russia has a lot of options there.

Manufacturing is on its knees, because of the deflation that is currently hitting the country - Archived link. They have made purchases for commodities to manufacture, and selling those at a profit is becoming difficult. Again government will have to step in here or loose some of the larger firms. Smaller firms will be allowed to go to the wall if they have no resources. China is a country where accountability is handed out at the behest of the party. I would not be surprised to see some managers imprisoned for being at the short end of this one.

The US's ban on tech trades is one that will bite. China will see their fortunes dwindle if they cannot keep pace with tech. This could lead to a backlash by invading Taiwan. This would not be good for any country as everyone buys from Taiwan. I think it is as much as 80% of all chips produced come from there. For high end tech that figure is as high as 95%. This would be catastrophic globally.

This would be a huge gamble for China to take on. If there is a protracted war similar to Ukraine, then this will cause global collapses, as people need tech for infrastructure. And even if China could make a snatch and grab on Taiwan, would the west continue to purchase tech from there in the future? I personally think that if China invaded then they would see themselves in a situation similar to Russia, although not with the pace that Russia suffered sanctions. This would be a slow march into a second cold war.

China has gained an arrogance in thinking that it is too big to fail. It is a form of Trumpism on a national scale. One where it thinks it can just ignore normal restraints due to the influence it has on the world. Russia has woken the west up to this reliance on rogue states. There will be a slow move away from relying on China as a manufacturing base for cheaper goods. The EU and the US have already stated this publicly. If China continues on the path it is choosing then the west will close ranks. This is not in the interests of anyone globally.

You know he is going to swan off to the USA as soon as he looses the election. There will be a reason he will not investigate the tax fraud that the audit office said was happening. The people of Uxbridge should be ashamed of what they voted back. He is piggy backing on their ignorance to make money for his family.
