I think the current Graun (I only read the fashion pages) position on Assange is that he's a dissembling, self-obsessed, anti-semite who should answer his rape charge. They've had a big falling out and all.


If Andy is found guilty it'll be another example of "the help" taking the hit. Just as the Spad "Snowy" Smith did for Tintin.


Right, kids?

Nettie - IMO Cameron's judgement has been pretty much proven terrible as some of his critics said before, he doesn't need anything stuck on him as much as that'd have you wetting your pants.


And if you want to be tribal...Now, War crimes THAT is something that should be stuck on a recent PM and his Head of Communications (and Cambell's downright hypocracy and faux moral outrage in front of Leverson did really make me want to puke) There's two people RIGHT THERE who have done more harm to politics in this country than Cameron has yet had a chance to...bet you weren't banging on aboiut nailing them? They're maggots, Cameron's just a lightweight who seems to be getting worse.

A lot of people "gunning" for coulson and hunt will also have spent much of the last 10 years gunning for Blair. A lot of people hate the stench of corruption regardless of which house it stems from. The liberals on here have largely spent the existence of the forum hating Blair. There is no liberal conspiracy to hate "that" lot and defend "the other" lot



It's one thing to berate tribalism, but very hard to unite when some people appear to be so bent on divisiveness

I have seen numerous post on here and facebook from several (not from your good self I hasten to add) berating anyone who voted Liberal Democrat in the last election whilst I presume many of those beraters voted for a party that in its last two terms rode roughshod over our democracy; introduced a horrible sort of 'presidentism'..withoiut the checks and balances of the US; took media manipulation and spin to a new level including lying to get us into a dodgy war that has cost 100,000s of lives; made changes to our civil rights that had stood for years; etc etc etc...and yet, and yet. "anyone who vpted liberal democrat should take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror"...makes me laugh


The tories communication is so poor that it's almost refreshing :))

    • Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here. 
    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
