@fitzfromdublin It's tough because if we lived in a less censorious society l think it would be fine — "he's totally wrong but I love him" — but in a society like Britain's it feels like enabling the mob.

@Layo_FH This is why Reform must commit to overhauling government statistics to align with Denmark’s example. I don’t trust they will, as it’s unglamorous and procedural, requiring a level of competence I haven’t yet seen from them.

Finland is going through a period of awful unemployment (and general Europoor stagnation) but it remains happy*.
*Happy = stable, safe and generally satisfied in their position on the ladder to the good life.
Richard Hanania@RichardHanania
English speaking countries are experiencing lower levels of happiness, driven primarily by what's happening to young people. The British rank as the saddest of the bunch.

No disputes Raya is by far the better keeper but dropping Kepa for the final would be bad management. Also sends a negative message to any future #2 that it’s irrelevant if you helped take us to the final, sit on that bench for the biggest game.

This whole video is like a Chappelle’s Show skit. What a country.

Ohio deputies sued Afroman for defamation over his videos. In testimony, one broke down in tears and another said cops in other areas called him Lemon Pound Cake. Randy Walters said the video “Randy Walters Is A Son Of A Bitch” subjected him to ridicule. stereogum.com/2492766/afroma…

Ireland’s population chart remains a wild one to look at. The country has still not recovered from the Great Famine (1845-52).

He should have run it over.
Remember if you ever want to kill or maim someone but want to get away with a genuine ‘slap on the wrist’, then do it behind a vehicle.

It’s a devastating shame that only Denmark does this. Without the data, we have an awful never ending circle of half the population arguing that they see this data in the U.K. reflected in their anecdotal experiences and half of the population in total denial of this, as they argue there is no evidence for it (and those anecdotal experiences are simply shaped by bigotry/hatred).
And we never even step one foot forward to have actual conversation about culture (the norms and values of differing national and ethnic groups) vs class (the material and socioeconomic circumstances of differing groups and its impact on crimes) vs institutional racism (these groups are more likely to behave like this due to societal micro aggressions by white folk) etc etc.
So we just go round and round in a Reform vs Greens society, gaining no greater understanding of anything.

Denmark keeps impeccable statistics on crime, immigration, and, as shown here, crime committed by immigrants. And that's very important because the Western intuition on these numbers is usually completely off. Only remedy is repeated exposure to the data and the facts.

The last game of the season is of course Rochdale vs York.

Australia sent troops to fucking Vietnam for you.
Pisco@PiscoLitty
Ben Shapiro says in a recent video it is a "form of sedition" that our allies, Canada, UK, Australia, EU, etc. do not join America and Israel's war with Iran. That those countries are not actually allies. After years of Trump attacks, threats, tariffs. Is he insane?

Respect to France

9/ As well as alpine troops, France also sent a warship and refueling aircraft, pledged hundreds more soldiers, and expressed willingness to send anything else the Danes needed. Sweden, Norway, and the UK also sent military support to Greenland. x.com/OJoelsen/statu…

Still haven’t seen discussion about this man’s family abusing the Portuguese ‘passport’ route to settlement in Britain during EU days. Did his parents work? Under what circumstances were the family granted settled status?
