News of the day

[Pepe]

Microaggressions, probably.

These are their DEMANDS:


We DEMAND an Office for Black Student Development. This office should have ample funding to increase Black student’s enrollment, retention, completion, graduation, and successful transfer. This office should have a full-time coordinator whose job description is developed with formal input from the Black Student Union and other Black-identifying organizations on campus.
The university hires a Development Officer whose sole responsibility is around raising funds for Black Students recruitment and retention efforts. This Development Officer should work directly with Black Student Union and Multicultural Student Services. The Development Officer should be granted access to the university’s largest donors so that they may aid in efforts to fundraise for scholarships for Black students.
The creation of a Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) exchange program, which would invite Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) students to XXXX and for current undergraduate students to attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
The establishment of bi-annual Campus Climate Meetings focusing on Black campus life mandated through the Vice President for Equity & Inclusive Excellence and the Office of the Provost as an avenue for accountability to issues and concerns raised by Black students, staff, faculty, and community in the greater Lewisburg Area.
The creation of at least one XXXX University Endowed Chair in every academic department with demonstrated research and teaching focused on issues of relevance to Black lives and culture with structural analysis, and demonstrated experience of training, mentoring and service in these areas. The hires or appointments must be approved by a special committee of faculty that will be identified by the Black Student Union.
We demand historically Black Greek Letter Organizations have physical representations on campus like plots, benches, or trees.
We demand administration to include questions about racial climate of classrooms in end-of-semester course evaluations with a corresponding annual report to be released to the entire XXXX community.
We demand that there be more housing options for Black students on campus aside from 7th Street House.
We demand that the XXXX Student Government see to the creation and implementation of a Black Student Affairs Committee. This committee should function separately from the Diversity Affairs Congressional Committee and be endowed with organizational rights similar to that of other Congressional Committees.
We demand that the XXXX Student Government see to the permanent appointment of a member of the Black Student Union to the BSG Finance Committee. This appointed member should be endowed with committee rights no different than that of other members and should be selected with the input of the Black Student Union Executive Board.

Another apology.

This time for dressing as Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.


In a now-deleted post, Hampshire was seen styled as Depp, with drawn-on facial hair and tattoos, while her friend screwed up her face in mock distress as the actor's ex-wife.

Hampshire, who played Stevie Budd in sitcom Schitt's Creek, described the costume as "one of the most thoughtless, insensitive, and ignorant things" she had ever done.

[Yevrah]

Microaggressions, probably.

These are their DEMANDS:

Does the Black Student Union ever clash with the err...White Student Union? Or should that be non-black or is there a union for each skin colour?

[Pepe]

The whole thing is pretty lol. More housing for black students? You are allowed to live anywhere. Oh, you mean housing ONLY for black students?

[Lewis]

You're leaving the country soon, so bowl along and point out that about ninety per cent of your university's blacks wouldn't be there if the place selected purely on academic merit.

[Spikey M]

Imaging spending all that time fighting apartheid, only for your grandkids to turn around and fight to have it back.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've learned over the years that when you see things about 'whiteness' and 'blackness' it doesn't really mean the colours, it means order and chaos.

[Pepe]

You're leaving the country soon, so bowl along and point out that about ninety per cent of your university's blacks wouldn't be there if the place selected purely on academic merit.

I have class at the same time.

[Boydy]

Where are you moving to, Pepe?

[Pepe]

France :eyemouth:

[Lofty]

Unlucky.

[Bernanke]

I dodged that bullet.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Unless you're moving to the middle of Lyon or those projects at the top of the hill in Marseille, France is a fantastic country.

[Spikey M]

Unlucky.

He's currently working at an American University. France is like paradise compared to that. Even our shithole is.

[Pepe]

Rennes is the plan.

[Pepe]

He's currently working at an American University. France is like paradise compared to that. Even our shithole is.

An American University in a small town in the middle of rural Pennsylvania. It's boring as fuck.

[Shindig]

French with a Mexican accent must sound amazing.

[Offshore Toon]

Rennes is the plan.
Day trip to Jersey on the cards. :cool:

[niko_cee]

You could meet in the middle in St Malo.

Was the march against the Iraq war a hate march? The rules of engagement here make absolutely no sense.

[Luke Emia]

I see Suella has said now that homeless people can't live in tents... She really is a fucking awful person.

[Ben]

Evil woman. Absolutely no interest in tackling the root cause.

[niko_cee]

We need to address the issue of homelessness in this country. No longer should we find it acceptable to see people living in tents on the streets . . .

So let's ban it!

Oh.

A stain on the middle temple.

[phonics]

The whole concept is so evil that you almost miss the part where she slips in being homeless as a lifestyle choice.

[Lewis]

Hull had a tent city for a while and the council closed it down on the grounds that it was a lifestyle choice. There were enough beds for them to have somewhere to sleep at night, but the beds tended to come with conditions like you can't shoot up in the rooms or roll in at half-three, so the people throwing tents around were hardly helping them.

[Don]

It's a shame the Palestine lot are organising themselves at Hyde Park rather than Trafalgar Square (down the road from THE CENOTAPH) but going off the early social media activity and phone-ins, we're in for some tremendous interactions all the way up to and including Sunday. The fall of the Gammonati is a beautiful thing.

[Baz]

This smoking ban sounds good. Anyone who is currently under 14 will never be allowed to buy cigarettes, from what I gather, even when they’re 18+.

Dunno how it affects anyone who is currently 14+ though.

[Spikey M]

They all vape anyway. Pointless gesture politics.

[Don]

Nothing new or particularly sensational but worth being aware of nontheless.

"Pro-Palestinian protester says Pro-Palestinian protesters are a great bunch of lads"

On that topic, how's this lunatic still in a job?

[Shindig]

Diversity quotas.

[Spikey M]

Not really. They keep employing minorities in these jobs because white people wouldn't get away with it. So they put a brown face in front of the camera to say it, then it's just evil, rather than racist.

[Yevrah]

It's a solid tactic, but presumably she actually believes this stuff herself?

[Shindig]

I mean, she's clearly a Tolkien-esque goblin. She wants nothing to do with the human race.

[Boydy]

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/nov/08/tory-insiders-suggest-suella-braverman-trying-to-get-sacked

I think this seems likely.

As well as her being a massive cunt, obvs.

[Jimmy Floyd]

She wants to become the leader of whatever laughable shell is left of the party after the election, a shell that will become no less laughable, I must stress, with her at the helm.

[Ben]

She's building a reputation as a Farage type and we all know how well those type of parties get on in general elections. Crack on.

[Spikey M]

She's building a reputation as a Farage type and we all know how well those type of parties get on in general elections. Crack on.

But again, her skin colour plays in her favour. The Daily Express / Mail readers are safe to agree with her because it can't be racist. It's a solid strategy. She's not going to be Prime Minister or anything, but she could give the Far Right a boost.

[Jimmy Floyd]

There's also the fact that British Indians are increasingly right wing, in line with what's going on in the mother country. You'll see some 'confusing' results in areas with high Hindu pops next election.

[Spikey M]

I need a new Adam Curtis documentary on all this. Nothing really makes sense anymore and I'm pretty sure it's deliberate.

[Yevrah]

I need a new Adam Curtis documentary on all this. Nothing really makes sense anymore and I'm pretty sure it's deliberate.

I was chatting to a mate on this very subject the other day - we both came to the conclusion that if it is deliberate, who is pulling the strings and how can they be doing it so effectively in what otherwise is a sea of incompetence everywhere you look?

[Spikey M]

It's just "divide and rule", isn't it. Keep the plebs angry, keep them confused.

Don't take the incompetence at face value. They have undertaken a huge wealth transfer at all of our expense and the plebs are arguing on the daily about whether men can identify as women while they do so. I don't think that's incompetence at all.

[Jimmy Floyd]

There's no conspiracy, it's just that when you're at that end of society (or seriously aspire to be) your instincts are very different to people of modest means. Inequality is not rising either, it just makes people feel good to assume that it is.

Plebs are angry because they have access to more information than ever before but don't really know what to do with it.

[Yevrah]

It's just "divide and rule", isn't it. Keep the plebs angry, keep them confused.

Don't take the incompetence at face value. They have undertaken a huge wealth transfer at all of our expense and the plebs are arguing on the daily about whether men can identify as women while they do so. I don't think that's incompetence at all.

Clearly not, but it's at odds with everything else that seems to happen in government at the moment where rank incompetence is endemic (I know it wouldn't just be government making this play, but they'd be a part of it).

[Jimmy Floyd]

The government's issue is that the governing party ran out of talent ages back (probably when Cameron went) and so a small section of one particular party, with very few competent individuals, has been at the tiller since. This has massively narrowed their horizons compared even to the 2010-15 government and also demotivated the civil service who are the people who make things actually happen. They have ceased to be a national party as they were until 2016, and started to be the party of white reactionaries and Hindu nationalists. This version of the Tories should by rights have been chucked out in the election subsequent to 2015, but we've had two since then and because the opposition leader in both was the most useless, dangerous, treacherous cunt they could possibly have chosen, they somehow got away with it. Finally they will go next time in a massive landslide and it will be deserved, and actually the last 5 years will have cost them any chance of getting in for the next twenty.

The same thing will eventually happen to Labour. They will hope that they have enough talent to get them through three winning cycles again and make substantial changes. Keir Starmer is a twat so the leader after him will be more important I think.

[niko_cee]

The problem I have with the Grauniad analysis is the idea that you would want


to woo the party’s hard-right base

To the extent that they have one, which I'm not really convinced by unless we now categorise all people over 55 as likely fascists, what is the point of salting the earth to get the gig as first leader of the opposition? The most ill-fated job in politics, and if the base is HARD RIGHT, are they going to be voting for a non-white anyway, even if they seem to say the right things?

Couldn't you achieve the same by just wearing a piece of clothing as worn by Mrs Thatcher, without the need for any of the policy awkwardness?

It more smacks of muddled thinking, by people who don't really have any ideological beliefs, just saying any old shit to try to stay ahead in the media cycle, whilst probably being well aware the whole thing is going down.

[Jimmy Floyd]

'Hard-right base' is such a misunderstanding of the UK population, or that of any country really, that could only come from a paper as blinkered as the Graun.

A lot of people like their country and don't like the fact that it has changed over their lifetimes. Some of that is delusion or the ageing process obvs, but it's still what they think and feel, it doesn't make them all 'hard-right', as if Oswald Mosley is back and marching through the streets of Harpenden.

[Don]

Phoneins on 5Live in the mornings are truly essential listening these days (someone's just called to make the very strong point he's never sold a poppy to a muzzy). Such vitriol from all quarters. The times they are a changing. Keep positive by recognising the youth are on the right side. The old gammons who are in power are coming to an end and the future is bright.

[Spikey M]

The youth are an absolute bunch of fannies, let's not be silly now.

[Don]

That's such an easy cop-out but don't get it twisted, their awareness and eagerness highlights the inertia of preceding generations, ours very much included. What we're seeing is greater resistance from them but also, crucially, greater violence from Israel, US, UK, etc which is the sign of a decaying order.

[Lofty]

Under the youth of today Taz will be cancelled immediately for sexually fetishising african men. Careful what you wish for old lad.

I think there are obviously some clowns who do believe the more extreme things in politics but some of them are just a bit Southgate after the Euros: Maguire and Henderson got me this far last time so why not again? Except in this case it's Brexit, fundamentally misunderstanding that people had moaned about the euro and EU long before the advent of the internet. Trying to take the temperature of the electorate via social media never ends well, the whole reason betting against the loudest voices on twitter was so profitable in the referendum and 2016 US presidential election: online opinions often mean absolutely fuck all in real life.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Let me know what's happened to every call of 'the future is bright and the times they are a-changing' in all of human history. At best it just ends up with you being the gammons.

[Yevrah]

That's such an easy cop-out but don't get it twisted, their awareness and eagerness highlights the inertia of preceding generations, ours very much included. What we're seeing is greater resistance from them but also, crucially, greater violence from Israel, US, UK, etc which is the sign of a decaying order.

I'm absolutely sure they'll be doing some things better than we were, shunning excessive (or any) alcohol is one that immediately springs to mind, but they need to get out of the rut they're in over life being awful and unfair. It's never been fair and we all die anyway, so crack on with what you have and do things to bring about the change you want rather than just moaning. And I know they're not all like this, Greta Thunberg (whether you agree with her views or not) is an excellent example of someone who isn't just moaning, but more need to join in with whatever they care about and actually do something.

What I will concede that none of us had to contend with before from birth is the internet, which is actively rotting brains and ruining attention spans from infancy and that's even before you get to all the bad stuff on there. But, back to Spikey's point of the focus being on the wrong areas, absolutely no-one seems to give a shit about this.

[Spikey M]

Were you off school sick when they covered the Hippies and the protests against Vietnam? Or the Peace protests against nuclear missile bases in Britain? The banning of South Africa from the Rugby World Cup? Nelson Mandela? Malcolm X?

Young people rallying around causes long predates the Internet and this current wave of turbo-sensitive numpties. And you were the first to call them Gamony Sheperd's Pie munchers when their profile pictures were Blue and Yellow 12 months ago. All that's changed is that they've finally rallied around something you personally give a fuck about, and now they're the golden generation. Have a day off, lad.

[Jimmy Floyd]

My mate the Arab has just informed me that Iraq is about to invade Jordan. Watch this space, I guess.

Proper triggered gammon here. I have optimism for the youth and the future. It's all well and good marking them as useless TikTok wankers but TikTok isn't as harmful as paedophilia and corruption which is the diet of their predecessors. Smile, it's gonna be okay.

[Pepe]

And I know they're not all like this, Greta Thunberg (whether you agree with her views or not) is an excellent example of someone who isn't just moaning

Examples of something that she is doing that is not moaning? Genuinely curious, I don't follow the news. If she has come up with a new technology to reduce atmospheric carbon or something, then fair play to her.

Right on.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's remarkable how weak successive PMs have become because they feel they have to keep the knobhead wing onside. Anyone worth their salt would not only sack her but also release all the skeletons in her closet to make sure she never held a serious job in any arena again.

[Spikey M]

Her skeletons are mostly in the English Channel.

[randomlegend]

It's remarkable how weak successive PMs have become because they feel they have to keep the knobhead wing onside. Anyone worth their salt would not only sack her but also release all the skeletons in her closet to make sure she never held a serious job in any arena again.

The whole party is the knobhead wing.

[Jimmy Floyd]

That kind of thinking is why Labour has been out of power for 13 years.

[Lewis]

Everything Suella Braverman said in her article is an observable fact, and if literally anybody else had said it and/or couched it in pathetic language the same people pissing the bed about it now would have agreed.

[Lewis]

The government's issue is that the governing party ran out of talent ages back (probably when Cameron went) and so a small section of one particular party, with very few competent individuals, has been at the tiller since. This has massively narrowed their horizons compared even to the 2010-15 government and also demotivated the civil service who are the people who make things actually happen. They have ceased to be a national party as they were until 2016, and started to be the party of white reactionaries and Hindu nationalists.

The same thing will eventually happen to Labour. They will hope that they have enough talent to get them through three winning cycles again and make substantial changes. Keir Starmer is a twat so the leader after him will be more important I think.

The current Conservative Party is crap, but let's not pretend that the David Cameron government was stacked with 'talent', or that a party that topped out at thirty-six per cent of the vote was a nationally popular one.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The party was a broader church both in composition and scope, and that is the only way to be under our system. If you want to go and get PR and have minority special interest groups running the hard political space as well as the cultural one then I wish you good luck. The country needs unity at the moment, not diversity.

[Lewis]

Minority special interest groups do run the political and cultural space, unless you think that a million immigrants a year and an illegal free-for-all, not building any houses, decriminalising crime, etc. are all reflective of popular sentiment (compared to half the country voting for the exact opposite). The crap Conservative Party has allowed this to happen (or continue), which is why everybody hates them, and why everybody will hate the incoming Labour government within about two months.

[Boydy]

They could literally propose building a fuckton of houses and get a bunch if millennials onside but they won't, the pricks.

[Ben]

There's definitely a feeling that this lot are prepared to die on their hill rather than shift ideology. Is it because they're shit politicians, or they realise they're toast so it's more a case of we'll do what the fuck we want for another year or so?

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's because they're toast anyway and they need to prove their credentials to the rump of morons who will be voting in the next leader. Heading for a 1997-2001 style irrelevance.

Not sure what Sunak's excuse is though, unless he's just given up and waiting for the sweet release of death so that he can embarrass himself and the country by taking a California tech job weeks after the election.

[Lewis]

There's definitely a feeling that this lot are prepared to die on their hill rather than shift ideology. Is it because they're shit politicians, or they realise they're toast so it's more a case of we'll do what the fuck we want for another year or so?

What ideology? They're toast because they aren't actually doing anything remotely conservative and their 2019 voters and people like me aren't going to bother voting for them again.

The real case for them being shit politicians is that their ineffectual tough talk has convinced half the country that we have a firm right wing government, when actually we have half a party of absolute melts and rule by the BBC/civil service, discrediting the idea of the former for no gain.

[Ben]

Well that's what I meant. "Shift" was the wrong word to use there.

[Offshore Toon]

There's also the fact that British Indians are increasingly right wing...
Once again outing yourself as somebody that has no idea what the general population are like. Anybody that shade of brown are right wing af.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Once again outing yourself as somebody that has no idea what the general population are like. Anybody that shade of brown are right wing af.

I have an extremely good idea of how they vote in elections and how that has shifted over time. Don't give a shit how many times they spank their children or conduct forced marriages.

Look at the east London Muslim-heavy constituencies in the 2019 election compared to the north west London Hindu-heavy constituencies, those two pops are moving in completely different directions.

I mean, it's fairly obvious what they're angry about, isn't it? Change. Incredibly rapid change in the demographics of the country and the social shifts that come with that. I don't agree with them. I couldn't give a flying fuck. But saying that they don't know know why they're angry just means you aren't listening. They aren't bright, but they are incredibly clear.

[Lewis]

The football idiots wouldn't have felt the need to 'defend the Cenotaph' if people had any confidence that the police would have done, because public disorder breeds public disorder. The idea that they all rallied because the Indian Home Secretary wrote a Times article is more reflective of how these mongs are led around by the nose by what they read on Twitter.

I would have let the pro-Hamas retards smash it to pieces (and beat Michael Gove to death for that matter). Let people see what politicians have created here.

[Ben]

Did they actually “threaten the Cenotaph” though? Or did Facebook just make up the scenario in its head again, and there’s enough wazzocks out there that believed it was actually a possibility and ultimately just got themselves arrested for nothing?

[Spikey M]

They "threatened" to chant during the silence at Cenotaph, which would be a very serious problem, because that's when our elites come together to pretend they care about the millions of plebs they sent to die after a Boznian shot an Austrian.

[Lewis]

Some retard tried to set the flags on fire during the peaceful George Floyd protests (and received no serious sanction, unlike the white bloke who inadvertently had a wee near a police memorial), so it's not inconceivable that some have them might have broken away and ended up down Whitehall.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The George Floyd protests were a bit different in that there was a lot of Marxism and so on involved. These Palestine ones are Muslims talking to and about themselves. They don't know or care about white remembrance day. If anyone cared it would be the silly white leftist hangers-on.

[Lewis]

When we 'studied' it in year two or three they got the half-Indian lad's mum to come in and make a curry while we all watched. Foreign muck had arrived in East Yorkshire.

We were also told that Indians were too poor for cutlery, so we all had to make a spoon out of paper to sample it, because presumably there was an abundance of quality A4 on the poverty-stricken streets.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Without being an ice hockey nor a legal expert, that feels like something that could shut down most contact sport if he's charged and found guilty.

Did the guy not essentially judo kick him in the throat? That seems at least slightly different from a normal injury but don't ask me where you draw that line.

[Shindig]

Yep, although I see it as him going to body-check another player and missing by a mile. From that perspective, you could absolutely press charges.

He also has a history of purpously injuring opposition players iirc.

:lol:

[Spikey M]

Can someone explain why Labour are so determined not to say ceasefire? What is so important about that exact word? I've heard "cessation of conflict" is ok, but apparently anyone calling for an outright "ceasefire" is getting sacked... I don't get it.

[Lewis]

Because they exist as a special interest group for Muslims and pinko freaks, hence the fundamentals of their position, but they want normal people to think otherwise.

[Don]

Ceasefire is antisemitic. Can't be risking that.

[Disco]

Americans chastising anyone for bombing hospitals is pretty fucking rich given their history.

[phonics]

The release from the central Hamas base underneath the hospital is quite funny. The list they had of named terrorists was quite a scoop. Imagine what the talk was finding out these groups of individual terrorists coming together only to find out they were called Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and Friday. Banter.

[Ben]

Feels like we're getting to the stage where the US tell Israel enough is enough. The media are going heavy on the IDF shooting up this hospital after previously being passive to their transgressions.

12 week prison sentence [albeit suspended] for holding up a picture and laughing? What is wrong with us?

[Alex]

A five year ban from watching Sheffield Wednesday is a kindness too, if anything.

[Lofty]

I suppose he was outraging public decency by trying to banter Sunderland fans about a dead kid, the 12 week suspended sentence is probably a bit much but him losing two jobs over it is fairly amusing.

Shouldn't everyone who chants about Hillsborough or Munich then also be subject to the full extent of the law, for example?

[Shindig]

The 'not enough' shirt bloke got similar treatment, didn't he?

Yeah, another absurd outcome, although didn't he just get fined?

Yeah, he got a fine and a ban (£1,485 and four years of no football). Seems a bit of a shocking outcome considering he was taking shots at 97 families.

These people are going to send me full Tommy Robinson before long. Big congratulatory puff piece about incest being somewhat less widespread than previously.


She thinks cousin marriage is a valuable tradition though, and regrets that it appears to be in decline.

"I don't think my children will marry cousins. They will lose that connection with Pakistan and I feel sad about that," she says.

In fact, two of Ayesha's younger sisters, both in their 20s, have rejected the idea of cousin marriage. One, Salina, recently married a man of her own choice, with her parents' consent.

"I'm outgoing and I want to work and do things with my life. Someone from Pakistan wouldn't accept this at all," she says. "They would never let me live like this. We wouldn't agree on how to raise kids and how to teach them values."

The other sister, Malika, is also planning one day to choose her own husband.

Calm the fuck down will you Malika, you're taking massive liberties there.


Dr Aamra Darr, a medical sociologist with the University of Bradford's Faculty of Health Studies, says cousin marriage is a risk factor, but not a cause of congenital anomalies.

She points out that the 2013 Born in Bradford study showed that the risk of married cousins having a baby with a congenital anomaly was similar to that of a white British woman aged 35 or over having a baby with an anomaly, including Down's Syndrome.

However, she says health workers have sometimes told parents of a sick child in the Pakistani community: "It's because you married your cousin."

"It's culture blaming," she says. "You're talking about the politics of race and health - the minority being judged by the majority population."

Yeah, it's culture blaming, and yes you being judged, because the minority culture is fucking awful.


Zaara, who's also 18, says that circumstances have changed since her parents' youth: "It's easier to meet new people nowadays. Say you were from a village in Pakistan, it was easier to meet someone there. But now in Bradford you can meet so many different people, and you can still marry your people, but not someone you're related to."

If I said I only wanted to marry 'my people' I'd be burned at the progressive stake. Unless I added I was gay, in which case they'd put me out with a fire extinguisher full of Ben & Jerry's.

[niko_cee]

That bit about birth defects reads a bit misleading. Don't the chances of those things massively increase with age, and so comparing an entire group, who I would imagine tend to have kids when they are young, to older white women, in giving birth age terms seems a bit of a false take.


The risk increases with the mother's age (1 in 1250 for a 25 year old mother to 1 in 1000 at age 31, 1 in 400 at age 35, and about 1 in 100 at age 40).

Shame to lose the tradition. And don't get me started on educating them!

All 24 central bank officials tasked with inspecting SCB received bribes of between VND100 million ($4,137) and $5.2 million to condone the lender’s extreme violations, the police have said.
The Ministry of Public Security recently recommended charging Do Thi Nhan, former head of the State Bank of Vietnam’s inspection and supervision department, with receiving bribes worth $5.2 million from SCB from whom Truong My Lan had siphoned away VND1 quadrillion ($44 billion) worth of public deposits over a decade.

Saint winning (or at least topping) the Dutch election is interesting. Clearly a big anti-immigrant (by which we mean anti-Muslim) shift in the last year or two across Europe.

[Yevrah]

How is Sweden doing on that score these days?

[Jimmy Floyd]

This well (from 23 Oct):


The Swedish government plans to cut social benefits for non-European immigrants in the hope of discouraging migrants from coming to Sweden.

Sweden’s coalition government is set to introduce reforms requiring immigrants from countries outside the European Union to learn Swedish and compete for jobs in the country's highly-skilled labor market.

While the details of the changes are still being worked out, the leaders of the three-party coalition and the far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) have claimed that Sweden has "significant problems" with foreign-born people who are unemployed and live on benefits.

In an opinion piece in the newspaper Dagens Nyheter on Friday (October 20), they said that over the last decade, more than 770,000 people have immigrated to Sweden from countries outside the EU and European Economic Area (EEA).

"Together with an integration policy that has made almost no demands (on immigrants) and provided no incentive to integrate into society, immigration has created a divided Sweden," they continued.

In the opinion piece in Dagens Nyheter they refered to "segregation, social exclusion, unemployment, poor school results and a lack of common Swedish values." The piece did not include official data to support its claims, nor provide information on the number of Swedish citizens who live on benefits, Agence France Presse (AFP) reports.

I'm generally pretty chilled when it comes to Immigration (little boats or otherwise) but even I have to wonder how the fuck Immigration on this (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67506641) scale can possibly be allowed.

[Ben]

It's funny how the mindset is: immigration = Muslims = boats, but it's right there in the data that the massive jump was caused by non-EU people mainly from Ukraine and Hong Kong.

But we'll ignore that and wonder why nothing changes even when we've voted in our own Geert Wilders.

[Spikey M]

I'm not arsed if they're from Ukraine, Uganda or Ulrika Jonsson's birth canal. A 1% increase in population, from immigration, inside a year is unfathomable.

[Ben]

I wasn't having a dig at you, but rather the inevitable national response which will whip up a load of anger whilst doing fuck all about the situation. Although it could be argued the Ukraine/Hong Kong thing is very much a one-off so won't happen year-on-year even if nothing is done.

[Lewis]

It was actually - amongst others - 253000 Indians, 141000 Nigerians, 89000 Chinese, 55000 Pakistanis, and a massive 35000 Ukrainians. More immigration in the last twelve months than 1945-2000. And apparently wages have stagnated? Weird.

Like Ian Huntley is apparently now titting about in a wig and a dress wanting a move to a women's prison, would it really have been 'unethical' to just drag him out the back and shoot him as soon as the guilty verdict came in?

For me I don't think it's one of those "eye for an eye doesn't work" scenarios, but it's whether it would be implemented properly. You can be almost guaranteed it wouldn't be, just look at the death row shitshow across the pond.

We're in the day and age where wrongful convictions aren't just shrugged off with "soz mate" and everyone moves on, there'd be all sorts of seethe (justified or otherwise) if someone got the needle wrongly.

Which is where the whole thing falls apart.

Yes, but people do get very confused by the difference between arguments in principle and arguments in practical terms, the latter usually providing an easy cop-out to the more interesting debate of the former.

Yeah, those restrictions really did John Venables a world of good ...

Most of the new identities went to children that kill. The Snapchat killers, Mary Bell, etc.

These two are going to get different treatment than the Bulger kids as they are a lot older at the point of the offence. I don't know if you get minimum tariffs as a youth, but whatever they do end up with is going to be at the high end of what is possible.


3. Detention at His Majesty’s Pleasure (DHMP)
3.1 Starting points
DHMP is a mandatory life sentence for children who commit murder. DHMP has a minimum term (tariff) that sets out the minimum amount of time that must be spent in custody before the Parole Board can consider release. Currently the starting point for the minimum term is 12 years for all children.

We are introducing a sliding scale so there are different starting points that take into consideration the age of the child and the seriousness of the murder. This means that the older the child and the more serious the murder, the higher the starting point. This reflects that children develop and mature at a much faster rate and that children are very different at age 17 compared to age 10. This also means there will be less of a gap between the starting points for older children and young adults.

30 years plus.

"It's okay to be prejudiced because other people are too"

Genuine question.
