The "chemicals" have not been mention in any subsequent reports and so probably were harmless. On Tuesday, July 30, Scotland Yard officers obtained a warrant of further detention for Mr Hicks, which was authorised by Westminster Magistrates' Court, and allows police to detain him until 12.12pm on Sunday, August 4. “Suffolk constabulary acted quickly to make the area safe, including erecting a cordon around the address as a precautionary measure while enquiries are ongoing. However, we have found nothing to suggest an ongoing threat to the public.”

If I put a poster saying "Boris Johnson is a Stupid Twat!" and it is sponsored by an arms manufacturer, is that political comment,opinion or racism After all he was not born in the UK, he has funny hair, he certainly does not speak good English, he is a proven liar and most of his policies are appalling. But must we not call him stupid lest it be seen as insensitive? This Bill board is certainly contextually racist, and is disrespectful to duly elected members of the government, but I have seen similar all my life featuring various politician male and female, there have been political cartoons and satirical depictions of government officials since the Napoleonic war. Is this racist because a)these four have been racially abused before and so now should be above criticism? b) they are members of ethnic minorities and so should be immune from satire no matter how poor the humor c) It was put up by a gun shop and so is immediately and innately threatening to minorities? d) Though in the public eye and public servants these four have become some kind of untouchable symbolic icons of tolerance and diversity even though to be honest many of their ideas and policies are daft but in the light of recent events who they are and respecting their heritage has become more important than considering the worth and efficiency of their actions as politicians. However no one would say my poster of Boris calling him an idiot was racist, because it is not contextually true. The situation has become so charged and heated that I doubt anyone could say anything about these four congress women that would not or could not be twisted in to a charge of racism or positive discrimination and this is leading to a general atmosphere of fear that effectively silences ALL criticism of them justified or not. This is not good and is not conducive to proper parliamentary function, NO politician should be above being disagreed with or even mocked for their ideas, it is a part of the job, forbidding that ultimately will do more harm than good when it interferes with the fair and just operation of the house and by extension the country.

LenHazell53 comments on Jul 27, 2019:

There were a series of investigations done in the 1950s on various animals to examine the effects of over population. In mice, rats, rabbits, sheep, dogs and a few other species three recurring patterns were discerned before epidemic death. When in all cases of the creatures being confined to areas capable of housing a small population with adequate food and drink for a population base on space per capita as little as 20% over population set these patterns in motion. The first symptom is a massive increase in homosexuality or homosexual behaviour, regardless of proportion of male to female population. Second is a sudden and extreme increase in random violence among dominant animals of both sexes, resulting the formation of tribes and tribal behaviour and eventually war. Finally even in vegetarian animals outbreaks of cannibalism. If after a time there is no significant drop in population, there will be an out break of severe illness either as a result of inbreeding, or cannibalism which only the strongest will survive, but more often than no in sealed environments wipes out the whole colony. This seems to be natures way of culling overpopulated societies. Edit: Sorry the majority of the experiments were in the Early 1970's not the 1950's a s previously stated.

If you differentiate between mainstream movies with a religious theme and movies made for the Christian market for evangelists to use to reinforce faith and retain doubters, such as the fucking awful "God's NOT Dead" franchise then Yes especially Pureflix productions. I can only conclude since they do have a stock of semi decent actors, that the directors must actually insist on this wooden as a crucifix delivery and performance. Kevin Sorbo (normally a very competent performer) is in a number of these films and seems to wander through them pointing his hair at people and keeping his face so botox straight that you could mistake him for a ventriloquist's dummy.

My wife has a number of medical conditions and needs ointments applied to skin conditions, when I help her do this, especially around the calf and feet, she will scream and worse kick claiming that it tickles, it has taken me a long time to accept she cannot help this, as to me it just seems stupid and unnecessarily violent.

@Marionville is right To expand a little Crapula is the Latin word for hangover, hence "Feeling like crap" Crap meaning excretia as you say come from Thomas Crapper inventor of the ball cock flush toilet in 1880, he is often confused with Sir Thomas Harrington the inventor of the water Closet in the court of Elizabeth the first. The name Crapper is a variant on Cropper meaning a gatherer of crops or a mower of wheat fields.

Even if he was that stupid, and I think he is, they would still probably not understand him through all his bluff and posh boy bluster.

This happened years ago in France in 2002 when Jean-Marie Le Pen ran against Jacques Chirac who if he lost the election stood liable to be arrested for corruption. as in the USA a French President in office cannot be arrested. He ran the election on a platform of "What do you want a Crook or a Fascist" and won by a landslide and by the end of his second term had quashed all his indictable offenses. Trumps seems to be fear mongering his way to "What do you want a Crook or a socialist" as his platform for 2020.

Are you calling the story bullshit or the claim that jobs are being taken by illegals?

How "Racist" Changed Meaning - The Atlantic

You first have to state what you mean by "race" Growing up in the UK when I was a boy the most racially abused people were the Irish. Now I have heard American people time and again telling me the Irish are NOT a race, but by our definition they are. To us race is defines by your cultural ancestry, skin colour and physical features have nothing to do with it, those define only your ethnicity, which may not even be racially based at all. In the TV series Porridge in the 70's there featured a Glaswegian Scott named McClagen played by brilliant scots actor Tony Osoba. Tony Osoba's father was West Indian, but all of the racial prejudice thrown at McClagen was for his being a Scott which was universally accepted as his race, though his darker skin was only referenced jokingly as being Black watch Tartan. One may have been born in England, but speak with an accent and hold views highly conforming to to those of an Irish born person from your own ancestry, this makes you nationality English but racially and culturally you are Irish regardless of ethnic features. Like wise west Indian people, African people, Asian people (which in the UK only means from the Indian sub Continent it baffles us when the Americans say Asian and mean Chinese, Tai, or Korean, who to us are far eastern.) In the UK there has long been a struggle against racism against Scots and the Welsh, both proud races who the Americans especially insist in a very racist manner are English at worst British at best, president Bush (the 2nd one) famously asking opera singer Charlotte Maria Church where she came from and when being told she came from Wales asking which state of England that was in, was in Wales considered a highly racist remark, albeit an amusing one indicative of his idiocy.

Sums it all up perfectly

to paraphrase the late sir Terry Pratchett " It is hard to convey socio-political ideology in a language evolved to scream defiance at the monkeys in the next tree."

Trump assures us he is NOT a racist. However he is not above helping them out when they are busy.
