The little feature on Chat GPT to turn pics into authentic 80's style pics is brilliant though. Not sure it's worth killing us off for though.

Throwing bricks at buses. Never has there been a more peaceful pastime.

Were you there? If not, all you're doing is posting your opinion. Or to put it another way, what you've convinced yourself is the reality. Re the highlighted part. Please explain how that led to injured coppers and damaged property. Or are you saying that's police lies?

Birds shitting on your car and eating into the paint. Especially on a lease car knowing they'll rinse you when you hand it back.

Indeed. I'm sure many people have had nights out, or days at football back in the day, that weren't entirely peaceful, but everyone avoided getting nicked. Calling them peaceful would be nonsense.

Arrests aren't a barometer. What takes place is.

So not described as peaceful! Notting Hill can fairly be described as mostly peaceful.

Our posts crossed mate. Yep, not as bad as it could have been, so toned down. That said, it wasn't described as peaceful, just mostly.

Yep. That was not a peaceful. I think there's a kind of "it could have been worse, so let's call it peaceful" with a PC approach being taken. Call a shovel a shovel, whoever holds it.

You can't compare a carnival with pockets of incidents with a protest which is essentially an incident in its own right. It's a false equivalence.

Comparisons and false comparisons aren't needed to view something objectively, and through the eyes of decency or common sense. A protest where public servants are hurt, and property is damaged, could only be described as "peaceful" by someone seeking to justify that kind of behaviour as acceptable.

The jump around scene in this week's Ted Lasso. Quality.

I think it's bollox. Sure, there's a war industry, but I don't accept that BlackRock are influencing leaders to go to war, which seems to be his implied point.

Irrelevant mate, no arrests, so it was basically a tea party. Or something.

Are you seriously suggesting that without an arrest, a protest where things get damaged and people hurt, must be described as "peaceful"? What makes it not peaceful, an arrest?

See the post above yours. Your moral compass is more skewed than I thought if you regard a protest where people get injured, and items damaged, as peaceful. By your metric, if you popped down the local and people come in, cause damage, and hurt people, it'd have been a nice peaceful night unless someone got arrested. By a normal person's standards, however, that ain't peaceful.

There wasn't a physical attack on the RNLI folk. Correct. However, there were threats and unnecessary comments of traitor etc. The protest was not peaceful. People do not get injured, and items damaged, in peaceful protests. Sure, it wasn't a riot, but don't kid yourself it was peaceful.

Your point/opinion/comment?

A $5k payment to every US adult if his lot win the mid terms. A $1.3 trillion bribe. Finding positives, I suppose you've got to admire the audacity of the bloke, and plenty of struggling American's will be desperate for that money. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62kzr1jg0jo

They were certainly escorted by the french until they reached our waters, but I'm not sure where they were left, and where the RNLI picked them up. I agree that this wasn't a stray boat situation - the IOW or central south coast was the destination.

Fucking hell. You're something else. I think you'll find that most people realise that most people who come here aren't violent thugs, and that nobody is invited. Your response to all of this is not a "natural response", despite what you tell yourself.

Wtf makes you think there's a Russian invasion in the offing?! Sure, they may have a pop at a Baltic state to see what NATO do, but they're not having a crack at us. Blimey.

And as long as Doris can keep her triple locked pension, regardless of whatever else she has. Ditch the triple lock, but keep a welfare top up for pensioners who need more. Means test all disability related benefits, for adults and kids. Sift the needy from the greedy. We can't scrimp on security but people maxing out their ISA allowance and their kids junior ISA allowance with welfare benefits. So fundamentally I agree with you, but with different targets.

Who are "they"?

Yep. We've picked up a few sophisticated enemies recently.
