Ha, I never knew this had an actual name.

I thought it was known as talking to a brick wall, ie. if you have a issue talk to a brick wall and you’ll get the answer

Wild! Those are the two names I chose too!!

From the article / post: " The soldier who fired the shots describes entering the home and encountering only one unarmed Palestinian, gesturing and saying, ‘No, no.’ "

He openly admits to shooting an unarmed Palestinian man.

I would really recommend the documentary Navalny:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navalny_(film)

I knew almost nothing about the guy prior to watching it, and what happens to him is fascinating. He’s not perfect but I do believe what he says and he really wanted a better Russia. The balls on this guy!!

Which is illegal! If you tip a waiter/waitress then the money must go to them: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/all-tips-to-go-to-staff-under-government-plans-to-enhance-rights-of-2-million-workers

I mean I’m not sure what you can do other than name and shame the restaurant, and/or boycott it

Thanks for sending these over.

I completely agree by the way that we should not condemn an entire population because of their government!

Honest question: can you send over a source or sources for that?

I used to find these kind of stories funny, but these days I just wonder how desperate must someone be to do this.
What’s going on in their life that they’ve ended up doing this and their next stop is prison?

One thing I would add is that the Russian people do want change but any attempt at changing the leadership is met with poisoning and/or long prison sentences. I would highly recommend reading about Alexei Navalny or watching the fascinating documentary

Why?

I would argue this is still genocide, just not at a rapid rate:

2.2 million people are unable to access a consistent supply of food!

For some reason you can’t have a reasonable discussion in this thread. I agree with everything you’ve said above.

Come on. There’s quite a difference between the police following the law, and people being lead to their death.

If you disagree with the police following the law, what alternative would you suggest?

Some great answers above/below:

• ACAB - of course! ALL cops!
• Cops work for the billionaire class. They do the bidding of their masters - yep, sure
• Police protect property, not people - so true

/s

The police are there to enforce the law. Are all police officers perfect, no. Is anyone perfect, no.

My point being, you should want the police to follow the law and enforce it. From the article, they were enforcing a law around the Public Order Act.

So doesn’t the problem really exist with those who make the law, not those who enforce it?

(Ok, I’ll get off my high horse now)

Nice to hear a balanced view - thank you!
