In my opinion yes, he did a promotion that was going out in nigiria in which every word he spoke was about him being a Nigerian but in this country he is happy to call himself British.

Put some of his millions back into depriving areas .

What about the people with generational aristocracies that actually have land titles? Surely they should be ploughing money into areas that carry their names?

Life is not fair Niamh simple has that.

The only thing Joshua has common with poor people is the colour of his skin, he wants for nothing.

When it suits he goes on about how he is a Muslim.

A few photos and words from him is not going to change the world.

Before he speaks he stops and thinks so he can give the answers that will be most beneficial to him.

Sh1t. How do you know my weekend stripper name?

How about a shared experience of growing up poor, and in run down communities? I always notice in these conversations how athletes from poor backgrounds are always expected to give their wealth back to the communities, yet we push through brexit to ensure Rees-Mogg gets to continue avoid paying tax, which is the absolute bare minimum he should be doing.

When it suits? If every time he was interviewed he brought up being Muslim, there would be cries about him pushing extremeism.

For decades and longer, black men have been labelled as thick and inferior, but a black guy who stops to think before answering a question is doing so for personal gain?

All of these debates eventually circle back round to meghan. Namely, white people telling black people what they really mean.

Dude c'mon, not everything in life can be reduced to a one sentence idiom. It's not Anthony Joshua's responsibility to feed every poor person. We have a government (and successive ones including the last labour gov) that is far more generous to the people at the top, when people need support to climb.

It's not a coincidence that we see stories in the sun about single parents on benefits buying their kids an ipad at Christmas, rather than the billions handed out to rich corporations and wealthy tax dodgers.

I liked trump for his business mind, and his vision to make America great again, but George's niece said it best..."when was america ever great"

It was the norm then, perhaps it was, that's the best argument I've heard for them remaining and frankly it's not good enough.

The real reason they take pride of place in our towns and cities is to remind us who has the money and the power, historically they had and they still do.

Although I'd qualify it with a not a general getting rid of this statue or that statue.

However, Councils and Mayors where elected do need to not only look but act on those offended by these monuments
Especially to individuals who actively undertook and even arranged persecution or demoralising of others and races.

There are several statues I personally for different reasons find an affront to my personal thinking.
I know I can't get them removed.

That statue in Bristol, there have been calls for that to be removed for a good while.
Some of the names in streets there are in my view offensive too.

It is really good and overdue to now rightly look at just what is offensive to people and races in our cities.
I'd hope a lot of moves are heading into being now.

Your comment, of the reasoning of them being there as being given as, how they were and acted as being the norm.
Is, as you say just not good enough.
Since how some of them acted should NEVER have been 'A" or the norm anyway.

i think if you asked the majority of the UK, they would have no idea the statues were even there. It's just not something that generally gets any ones attention. Yes, there are a few high profile ones such as Nelsons column, but who knows all the statues in the UK and what their "claim to fame" is, I certainly don't

It's not just young people, you are sounding like a jaded old man here LT.

Look at the statue to Thatcher for instance imo that should come down, her terms decimated this country she was the one who chose to exploit other countries for coal than produce our own even though there are copious amounts.

Her views on homosexuality and her brutal response to race riots in the 80s.

That's great! If the country could be set up to maintain this, it'd do the environment a world of good.

Is there any need to have physical offices, when someone can have home internet? It'd (probably?) be cheaper for businesses to just pay broadband expenses for employees than the rent out and power office space.

Nope they were filled in or flooded, we have moved on environmentally now so that industry would have come to a natural end anyway. The people and areas affected would then have had time to diversify into other sectors, rather than just find themselves and their families with no work and no future.

Yes.

This one was one of the cases that I spent one of the longest times dissecting. All the way from initial reports, to the police statement to the bodycam etc...

What pissed me off SO much is that little piss-ant cop, Phillip Brailsfield, has the audacity to have his lawyer say that he is suffering from PTSD. WTF Cares. At least you are still alive.

Following an investigation, Brailsford was charged with second-degree murder and a lesser manslaughter charge and found not guilty by a jury.[1] Prosecutors argued the shooting was unjustified.[2] In March 2018, it became known that the United States Department of Justice has reopened the case and is looking into a possible civil rights violation by Brailsford.[3] Brailsford was reinstated to the Mesa Police Department in August 2018, then over a month later was granted retirement on medical grounds, as well as a pension of $2,500 per month.[4] Brailsford's lawyer has said that Brailsford suffered from post traumatic stress disorder due to his shooting of Shaver and the resultant criminal trial.[5]

He now works at a steel company in Glendale, Arizona. Piece of crap deserves grief from every single person he meets.

However I was watching a caught on camera programme last night on tv. A police car noticed a car with its hazards on and looking a bit strange so the cop car followed it. Two black ladies stepped out with a black baby who had stopped breathing and was lifeless because of an allergic reaction and due to traffic the ambulance was taking too long so they were heading to hospital with him. The police officer tried to resusitate him and waited with them for an ambulance to come and realising it was taking too long he took the baby on his lap and put the sirens on and took him to hospital by the time the ladies got there the baby was ok. Him and his wife are now the boys godparents and they have a lovely close relationship

A recent serious assault in Carrigaline is being used by far-right groups to spread disinformation worldwide on social media, according to a company which monitors extremism.

Moonshot CVE works with governments and social media companies to track and counter violent extremism, terrorisim, disinformation and organised crime on the internet.

Following a widely-publicized assault in Carrigaline on Saturday night, a juvenile was arrested, charged and has now been released on bail.

The assault - and a video which appeared on social media related to the incident - were widely shared on Twitter and other social media apps.

Many people also shared specific information about the identity and location of individuals involved, including names, photos and addresses.

Moonshot CVE, a London based tech company run by Cork native Ross Frennett, has been tracking how this information has been shared, distorted and "weaponized" by many groups including those on the far right.

Using specialist software, Moonshot CVE were able to track information and accounts online.

They identified a number of online networks that were engaging in activities aimed at using the incident to spread false information and drive a racist and hate agenda.

The company discovered that certain networks were producing and sharing fake screenshots allegedly belonging to supposed gangs in Cork city.

Fake accounts had also been set up alleging to belong to the gangs and the networks were also encouraging retaliation and violence.

A lot of the falsified material gained traction across social media over the weekend with numerous false screenshots and posts being shared.

Moonshot CVE founder, Ross Frennett told CorkBeo that this is a common tactic used by such organisations.

“These groups jump in on the hashtag and say ‘join here to stop it’.

“Others are trying to claim that this is the sign of a coming race war and the only way to win is by joining neo-nazi or far-right organisations.

“We see this every time there is a crime committed by a minority anywhere in the world, they will jump on the bandwagon.

“It just so happens that Cork is the target today but next week it could be anywhere."

Ross also told us about the type of false information that was found in relation to the violent incident in Carrigaline.

“We found fake Twitter accounts that were alleged to be from the gang, screenshots of WhatsApps that were also alleged to be from them.

“There was also a lot of amplification from overseas, a lot of accounts from America and England that were trying to shift the narrative and make it a racial issue.

To be fair they are necessary when, for example, there's a belief that someone might be being held there against their will (kidnapping cases) but you'd expect there to be VERY, VERY strong evidence that the person is there and, ffs, double and triple checking that it's the right bloody door.

I agree.

I actually hardly ever take notice of statues anyway.
I don't see the need for them no matter the individual.
Certainly out on public display and then expecting everyone to respect them.

House them indoors if they are considered a necessity where those who want to can go and see them, if they want to.
I actually find statues creepy.

I fully agree with you however that the bad as well as any good elements of British history, should be taught in schools definitely.

There's a fair chunk of British history that is truly unsavoury, those who made it unsavoury at the time, shouldn't be revered in statues across the Nation in public places.

I am utterly shocked at the responses I have been seeing to these protests. But I think I'm especially shocked that there are women trying to deny the benefits of protesting when that is EXACTLY what granted us electoral equality in 1928.

The fight for equality has to start somewhere. Black people have been ignored for centuries - of course they are going to ****ing rebel. That's just human nature.

Educate yourselves.
