It’s not about politics

but it isnt my desire to rob you of your comforting myths about yourself. forgive me.
 
:rolleyes:

BGVelcro only understands stupidities. like skinny being savior of the
women who have penis interlopers amongst them:lbf:
 
🥷 < skinny on his way to the womens shower to protect them from interlopers with penises:)

BGV and radish in HQ giving skinny information about the blueprints like if it was a nutter Mission Impossible.:lbf:
 
I was surprised Chauvin was found guilty of all charges - my Dad was watching the trial live & said there was evidence he wouldn't even move when the paramedic asked him to & it sounded like a man who enjoyed the power & felt the badge gave him impunity.

Dad thinks it's the right verdict & he's not the blood thirsty type.

There's going to be an inquiry into policing in the state so hopefully some good will come of it.
 
:rolleyes:

your dad???:straightface:
thats a new element.o_O
previoulsy there was no 'dad' up in the Glasgow flat. Nothing but furniture and gin.:blushing:

But there are so many police officers who operate with apparent impunity. That sometimes it’s possible to meet a police man/woman who appears half human demonstrates that it’s not an inevitability of the role.

And I think it’s unlikely that Chauvin was suddenly seized by a power trip: I suspect these aspects of his character were perceived as desirable, to be nurtured and in some sense protected—for much of his career.

The whole thing is a tragic mess—complicated, for me, by an invitation to ‘celebrate’ from a work colleague this afternoon. Initially, I thought they must be speaking about the football.

Strange day. I had read people’s negativity about Morrissey just to restore a sense of normality.

Gloating is unpleasant, but it doesn't mean there's been an injustice. He wasn't in fear of his life & it wasn't a split second decision.

Camdens a great place, prior to the pandemic I used to stay in the Holiday Inn there from time to time and walk through Regents Park to our office on Great Portland Street.

Yeah, it's a fabulous place. I can't imagine how I'll ever earn enough to buy a house though. I think we've all convinced ourselves we'll sell a novel to Hollywood even though we haven't written one.
 
well, now its 3 flatmates, making a grand total of 4 55 yr old flatmates:straightface:
i take all on the dole:blushing:
and a family farm outside Glasgow:confused:
outside where, the cul de sac? dad wouldnt be a so called 'protector of women who
are accosted by interlopers with penis?" would he?:blushing:


o_O
sleeping in your hooptie in front of the holiday inn is not 'staying IN the holiday inn.':blushing:

You're still young and you never know what's around the corner. I left school and became an apprentice in the building trade. I then set up a building company with my mate and we have made it a great success (even though at one precarious point we had £200 quid between us)

The bigger point I’m trying to make is that there’s a perception, furthered by the verdict, that this policeman was ‘rogue’. I suspect he was thoroughly on-message.
