    It's obviously racist but it's not racist abuse...or are they completely synonymous nowadays?

    If you are being racist and it is targeted at an individual of that race, then how the fuck is it not racial abuse?

    You'd think the victim of racial abuse was in some sort of dangerous situation, not that he got a banana delivered to him at a Spoons for a laugh.

    The word abuse loses all meaning if you use it synonymously with "someone was a racist prick"

    This new found/developing appetite on the part of the public to get stuck in in these situations changes the game quite significantly from the terrorist perspective. The on foot nutter becomes much less effective if the herd decides to just go for them.

    The footage looks like by the time the police turned up the scumbag had been restrained by an absolute legend of a member of the public, yet they shot him anyway.

    I'm not going to cry over that, but not sure if it was necessary.

    They should have shot him in the leg and let him bleed out while a crowd gathered and lolled at him.

    Lol at the member of public who was walking away with the knife throwing a bag of Coke on the ground. Could have at least chucked it in the Thames.

    If you're a knife-wielding maniac, what does wearing a fake bomb achieve? Surely it just scares people away from your knife range and makes it a 100% certainty you'll be shot before being able to knife that many people.

    I'd missed that he was 'armed' with a bomb earlier.

    And I think Jim, it's because they're a fringe group of people over here populated almost entirely by morons.

    It's a sure fire route to suicide by cop/martyrdom, whereas simply being detained by randoms on a bridge would probably be less effective (to that end) or auspicious in the eyes of god.

    Also lol at the need to dig this up:

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...tm_name=iossmf

    Another man who dived in to help was convicted murderer James Ford.

    Now 42, Ford was jailed for life – with a minimum of 15 years – in April 2004 for the murder of a 21-year-old with learning difficulties.

    Amanda Champion – who had the mental age of a 15-year-old – was found strangled and with her throat cut on waste ground near her home in Ashford, Kent, the previous July.

    Yesterday, he tackled Khan and was one of the people who fought to save the lives of his victims.

    This might be a watershed moment in dealing with these fucks.

    Reminds me of the Glasgow airport attack where a local hero there took a flaming terrorist down and casually dismissed it when interviewed as "yeah, we're not having that in Scotland".

    I would question what this bloke was doing out though, even on license. If you're convicted of a(lmost any) terror offence it should be life, with proper scrutiny to make sure the charge isn't being abused natch.

    It’s not so much that, it’s giving dirty lazy scum such properties for free, while working people are commuting for around 4 hours a day. It’s getting to the stage it’s not worth paying your way.

    I imagine more people would fancy their chances of taking down a guy so incompetent he has already set himself ablaze at the point when you're considering action.

    I think we should go the other way on this. Let's just not recognise gender at all.

    The local alternate pub near me has only gender neutral bathrooms. The stalls go in this order seat always up, seat alway down, seat always up, seat always down etc.

    Not a piss trough in sight as well.

    Not quite. He's asking for recognition of a third neutral gender. Rather than a passport where gender isn't referenced. EDIT: Actually, they're potentially asking for either. I'd argue with a passport, gender's not especially important as it has so many other identifying features.

    When I speak to a 'customer' at work I have to go through a security check using the information on their contact page. I have noticed a very strong correlation between people who answer 'prefer not to say' to questions like 'ethnicity' and 'religion' and people I end up in pointless arguments with.

    Our system doesn't cover that stuff so I get by on address details, date of birth and NI number.
