@Sutton1Mr How was he cleared of the ‘with intent’ charge? If ever there was a reason to get rid of jury trials this is it!! Fecking nonsense.

ATTACKED A FEMALE POLICE OFFICER, WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER WHILE SHE WAS ON THE GROUND. His grandfather provided a character reference and said he was a good boy. No: He is not.

@Sutton1Mr The hope is for a custodial sentence and those already inside will put it was a copper he attacked to one side and see him as the one who took a sledge hammer to someone’s daughter, sister, wife, mother.

@ArchRose90 Tariff should be doubled when the attack is on an emergency worker.

Great news.
Palestine Action thug, Samuel Corner, broke a female officer’s back with a sledge hammer. She is still recovering now.
He has been found guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm.
Lock him up and throw away the key!

The Greens' offer to tax the wealthy, bring in rent controls and more decent, affordable housing is clearly cutting through... You can smell the panic from Reform & Labour. As I have said to members up and down the country: the bigger the threat we pose, the more the attacks...

@Cllrharrietbrad @Cornish_Rebel Why only £15? If you finacial theory stands testing why not £20, £50, £100/ hour and make everyone wealthy.
Show your workings on unemployment increase, tax revenue decrease in parallel with your demands.

@spennybig Not a single property to rent in my town. Renters putting out requests on social media and rent prices rising. Properties that were rentals on the sales market at a price locals can never afford whilst being airbnb’d or left empty. Nightmare for those looking to rent.

I own an estate agency in hertfordshire, about 14 percent of our landlords have or are selling due to the negative tax and legislative environment. Assuming thats replicated nationally there will be 1.7million less properties for renters in a year, with no plan on replacement

@beckytaylorgill Then what Becky. Show us your understanding of what happens to employers, employees, supply chains, tax payments when a business goes bust
Here’s a starter, the employees have no income, tax revenue pot falls, suppliers lay of people or also go bust. Owners reinvest elsewhere
English
@AngelaNoDicks @Lee7dfzz So the low wage isn’t really what you are concerned about. It’s the envy and bitterness of someone else having more than you.
Your answer, level everyone down to the lowest demoninator and satisfy your jealousy.

@Lee7dfzz Except that guy says he’s a millionaire, so finding the money shouldn’t be a problem for him. The problem is he is greedy and doesn’t give a toss about the needs and rights of workers. Get his boot out of your mouth.

“A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop…”
So?
It’s not like there aren’t dozens of other coffee shops that will be happy to take your business and pay their staff.
This argument happens every time with minimum wage rises. It’s nonsense.
Peter McCormack 🏴☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪@PeterMcCormack
A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@chrismhowells @jeancamerom1001 Absolutely, ‘There was no need for this whatsoever’.
Why are we letting terrorists into the country. Should not have been given entry and should certainly been deported after his first criminal act.
English
Those officers should Instantly lose their jobs and pensions for this.
Kicking a defenceless man in the head, several times, with steel toe cap boots on??
That’s Serious Assault for any other member of the public.
There was no need for this whatsoever.

@Sh3lby118 @RealDonKeith The small individual uk based landlords are the one selling up. Overseas based corporates offering cash buys then keep the property off the market to drive up rental rates before releasing the property back on the rental market. You have no idea what is happening around you.
English
@RealDonKeith Dumping?
Selling their multiple stock pile of housing.
Many don't even live in the UK.
Taking the strangulation off the property market.
Homes freed for first time buyers to finally get on the ladder.
That isn't backfire, it's progress.

@gabystubbs1 @bjames280961 @SaulStaniforth @ZackPolanski It’s not their responsibility to create jobs.
English
@bjames280961 @SaulStaniforth @ZackPolanski they have not created jobs. they have created wealth for themselves and share holders. You are the type of person grateful for their crumbs. Keep tugging that forelock , you are just an indoctrinated wage slave
English
.@ZackPolanski: "The 50 wealthiest families in this country own more wealth than 34 million people. That's unsustainable. The govt say there is no money left. There's plenty of money. It needs to be in our communities, both for the environment & for the people we serve"

@xc0tt0n90x @PeterMcCormack It will have little impact on him, enough money saved and other opportunities to invest in. What is your plan for his direct employees, supply chain employees and the gap in the tax pot that no business and fewer employed people leaves?
English
@PeterMcCormack No one cares about your shitty coffee shop bro.
Either pay workers a reasonable wage, or close down. Being a giant tool bag on the internet isn't going to help you in any way.
Stop complaining like an entitled little kid who doesn't want to share.

A simple message to the silly socialists.
You’re upset by businesses telling you that they will fail with the minimum wage increase. You’re telling business owners silly things like if you can’t pay the minimum wage then you don’t have a viable business.
I want to make this easier to understand, because if you mean what you say, you want people to have jobs and earn a liveable wage.
So listen, businesses fail for all kinds of reasons, mainly because they are unprofitable. We are seeing a wave of business closures at the moment because of the compounding costs from the state against a cost of living crisis.
To make a cup of coffee profitable it has to eat a lot costs:
- 20% VAT (the inputs can’t be claimed back)
- Business rates (a tax before you earn)
- Rising NI costs
- Employment rights load
- Rising energy costs
- Inflation
All these are imposed by the state.
There is also a time tax with all the accounting, HR and regularity requirements which impose cost of consultants and time costs to ensure compliance, distracting owners from operating their businesses.
Then there are the other normal costs. A business owner needs to make a profit else the business fails. If the business fails there are less jobs and lower tax receipts.
If there are less jobs then public services crumble and welfare requirements increase. This is a compounding problem and what leads to the downward spiral of a country.
So… where does the money come from if there are less jobs. The government borrows it, that increase in the money supply drives more inflation, making life more expensive for the people you want to help. Some who now don’t have the job they once had.
So what now? What is your plan? I get it, you don’t really have one, this is what has happened to every socialist state, this is how a country goes from rich to poor. We have no divine right to be a wealthy nation and can certainly lose that status.
So this is your challenge, can you accept society has a distribution of wealth which means there are rich and poor or would you rather everyone was poorer as long as there are no rich. That’s what socialists tend to want, though I have a secret for you, you can’t get rid of people being rich.
I know you think profit is ugly, but the profit motive is what creates business and jobs.
So anyway. I’m going to keep promoting proper economics because that’s how a nation becomes prosperous and prosperity leads to a net better outcome for all. This does mean I am going to have to make fun of your stupid socialist ideas.
Good luck, read a book and stop being a dumb dumb.

@pbrennan1968 @Bodysatnav He wouldn’t. His approach would be to run in the opposite direction to those that ran towards the problem who he later criticises.
English
@Bodysatnav Genuine question here ,how would you have dealt with this situation?
English
Police officer repeatedly forcefully booting a man in the head. It's very hard to say how this was either necessary or helpful. Actually it's quite disgraceful. They are behaving like thugs.
sandra@mrsDugskullery
At the point where they stick the boot into his head, several times, the man is motionless. How do I know? I have those things on the front of my head...called eyeballs.👀

@HipsterUnionRep Especially if it’s a terrorist who is still holding the knife he’s used to attack innocent members of the population.

Not been keeping up with the news this week, but I gather it's ok for police to kick a tasered man in the head if he's wearing a rucksack?
English
Neither does the Green Party
staff):
• Operations Officer: £23,000–£25,000 → ≈ £12.64–£13.74/hour.
• Social Media Officer: £25,000–£26,000 → ≈ £13.74–£14.29/hour.
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski
The Mail doesn't think seem to think workers, of all ages, are worth £15 an hour. That's fair pay for a fair day's work, with money workers will put back into the economy. We are the party for workers. Vote Green on 7th May.

If UK police are trained to kick people repeatedly in the head after they’ve been tasered and incapacitated, we should be given details. How long has it been so, who trains them to do it ‘safely’ to avoid police themselves being murderers, when it’s happened, how it’s regulated.
English
So worried about the possibility of an explosive device that they let a member of public wrestle with him as they were booting him in the head and tasering him, lmao. They think we are stupid.

.@KamaliMelbourne: 'The video of the Golders Green terror attack arrest shows the officers kicking this individual in the head. Is that appropriate force to use?' Met Police Commissioner: "In most situations it wouldn't be reasonable, but in that situation it was reasonable."

@implausibleblog @NickDelaney9 Because he a terrorist.
The better option would have been for him to be shot, as any terrorist who chooses to comes to Britain to ply their trade should be.

Left: Head of Met Police Mark Rowley suggests that Zack Polanski undermines the ability of police officers to work
Right: It seems that Zack Polanski, like many of us, was wondering why police officers kicked a man on the ground five times in the head
I'm not anti police. I've never trained or worked in any part of policing. And I'm grateful every day that we have police men and women who run towards danger to protect all of us in society
I can appreciate fast moving instances where officers have to act on their feet, especially when there's a dangerous person who stabbed two people, and they need to disarm them as quickly as possible
But it's the five kicks to the attackers head which makes many of us wonder if that was an appropriate way to respond
I've muted the video in the first playing so you can hear the commissioner. I've kept the audio in the second playing so you can hear the officers
You can hear the police officers repeatedly shout 'drop the knife' as they're kicking him in the head. You can also see they're holding a taser, which presumably immobilised the attacker which is why he's on the ground not really moving. And when they pull his arm out to get him to drop the knife, his arm is shaking (taser?)
We all rely on the police to keep us safe, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask @metpoliceuk if kicking someone in the head five times is acceptable normal practice
I'd welcome any clarity from any experienced police officer, or directly from the Met, just to reassure the public on the reasons why these actions were taken
I'd also appreciate the integrity of responding with an explanation, not to assume that these questions are meant to demean or diminish the ability of our police to keep us safe
English
@mrsDugskullery Tell us at what point would you have walked up and attempted to remove the knife from his hand?
English
At the point where they start kicking....he's motionless.
I won't be told I didn't see what I saw with my own eyes...so get lost.
And that includes you Mark Rowley.
sandra@mrsDugskullery
He is tasered and on the ground. Why was it necessary to keep kicking him in the head? Can a doctor say what harm these kicks would cause? We'll never find out why he did it or who had put him up to it, if the police kick his brains in.
