Not too dissimilar to how one of the officers struck a protestor with a sledgehammer mere seconds before.

Watch the video yourself, it has been released.

The officer was signed off for 3 months. For a back injury. That’s nothing as back injuries go. The other officer that they tried to spin as also brutally mauled by barbarian terrorists wasn’t even taken to hospital because the injuries were so superficial. This is so clearly an attempt by the police and government to spin one action done in the heat of the moment in an act of self defence as the premeditated actions of an entire group.

Even if the intention was to grievously harm an officer, GBH is not terrorism. GBH by one member does not reflect the entire group and its intentions. If that were the case then the police are also a terrorist organisation (wait… actually…)

If you watch the video that was released you’ll see it’s not as clear cut as your comment makes out.

For example, the officer was also wielding a sledgehammer, a protestor had just slipped on the wet floor and as they were getting up again the sledgehammer wielding officer used the handle to shove them to the ground again.

Only parts of the footage have been released and the parts they did release didn’t paint the picture of an innocent bobby being brutalised by terrorists, as they tried to portray in multiple press releases beforehand.

They also released the footage during the midst of an active trial despite having it for months prior.

The police’s actions are not those of an impartial or innocent organisation.

After Meta scraped all their books they have the perfect defense now. All they have to say is “we’re training a music AI” and they’re apparently untouchable.

This appears to have been under the previous Conservative government.

However, with the actions of the current Labour government against pro-Palestine groups and supporters it wouldn’t surprise me if they are doing similar.

Westminster is full of scumbags. Scottish independence can’t come fast enough. Fuck the union, fuck this racist, classist, moralless, support of genocide. Fuck the intimidation of war crimes prosecutors. David Cameron should be prosecuted as an accessory to genocide for doing so.

Because of capitalist policies or because of advancements in science, engineering, and medicine culminating around the same time that just happened to coincide with capitalism’s birth?

Capitalism only benefits capitalists.

Fewer people are poor despite the capitalists, not because of.

Their giant hoards of wealth exemplify how many more could have been pulled out of poverty in the last 100-150 years.

Not in the UK, which this thread is about.

The NHS provides healthcare free at the point of service, for all.

Not everywhere is the United States of Fascist America.

I went through some eye surgeries and really needed a dark mode. But I couldnt get a dark mode in which buttons still were cleary visible.
I am sure if I search forums, git issues and documentation something usefull will turn up.

Because it’s clutter and annoying to see “Heyyy, is jellyfin a good video app?” ad nauseam, when a simple search would answer their question faster and without wasting everyone’s time and energy.

Modlogs are visible, if there’s truly a censorship issue then we’re free to upsticks and move to another community. That’s the advantage of the Fediverse.

That’s fair, but that’s due to politics.

Wealth and quality of life are hugely dependent upon the politics of a place.

Which form of politics is correct is a debate that has existed since forever, but there’s no getting away from the fact that politics determines wealth, quality of life, and ultimately whether people wish to immigrate, emigrate, or stay put.

Well, that and the weather 😝

If that’s the case why is it record numbers now?

Australia has had mineral wealth for a very long time, that’s nothing new.

Hang on, wait wait wait, so I can’t trust the word of the Times of Israel to be fully factual, unbiased, and without agenda?

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!

The BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me!

Lemmy?

Do you think we all hold the same opinion or something? You’re here too, you’re as much under that umbrella of vitriol that you’ve just spat as the rest of us.

Can we skip to the part where Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Farage, Wilders, Musk, Le Pen, the ICE agent that lives down the street, Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc etc etc get what they deserve please?

It doesn’t seem to have happened yet.

Amnesty International, Liberty, and the UN disagree with you.

A country actively kidnapping people off the streets, removing due process and habeus corpus, deporting prisoners to random countries, building concentration camps, and deploying troops on the streets has a score of 84/100. Forgive me for not feeling particularly free with my score of 91.

Having a read of this I think it’s fair to say boiling down a nation’s “freedom” to a single number is a silly unacademic metric, before even getting into the likelihood of bias and manipulation.

If it looks like a duck fascist, swims like a duck fascist, and quacks like a duck fascist, then it probably is a duck fascist. Regardless of what a likely bias think tank’s research may say.

I think I would rather watch paint dry than The Big Bang Theory tbh

Thanks for the second source. The Telegraph is a right wing rag.

Hey now! The Americans have done far more than that, they’ve peacefully wandered around the neighbourhood and played some acoustic guitar. If that doesn’t attract the attention of politicians, what will?
