    Black barrister mistaken for defendant three times

    I don't blame people for unconscious bias. I can't control what other people subconsciously think, I'm just re-assured there's been a huge swing towards recognising it and I don't think it'll be a problem for the future. I don't think it's something you can teach, it will just be fixed by...

    The Scottish Politics thread

    But it would mean separate currencies etc, so we can each manage fiscal policy to our individual interests. I can see the anger it causes in Scotland to be managed by Westminster, so you might be right it's best for both.

    The Scottish Politics thread

    Interesting to read your viewpoint. It's very similar to a lot of Brexit arguments. If it's what the Scottish people genuinely want then I hope you get another ref in around 5 years time and make your cut. I'll be sad to see Scotland go though, I hope total independence doesn't stop us being...

    Another new Brexit thread

    For example the ability to set our own trade rules to protect UK industry. So if we have an area we want to protect we can discourage overseas imports by adding tarrifs. Whilst part of the EU we don’t have that power and would need to appeal to Brussels and then other member states which will...

    Another new Brexit thread

    I’ve not spoken to a single leave voter who thought it would be sunny uplands. Most are reasoned and were looking at a long term goals, which I respect. By the same argument the consequences of remaining were not highlighted. I voted remain for closer ties to the EU, but some voted wanting it to...

    Good Humans vs Sh*t Humans...

    There’s no nutritional deficiencies from eating vegetarian but you need to eat the right foods. What it comes down to is If the food tastes the same, costs the same and has the same nutrition, would you object to a meat free lifestyle which doesn’t involve the slaughter of animals? This is the...

    Good Humans vs Sh*t Humans...

    There is no humane way. Dairy is a horrific industry, separating calves from their mothers, cycle of pregnancy and emotional distress.

    Good Humans vs Sh*t Humans...

    100% agree with you Stu, was posting something myself to point out the hypocrisy. You cannot say you care about animals and eat meat! There is no difference between animals other than barriers we've added ourselves.

    Wolves (A) Post-Match Thread

    You are living some dipper-level delusion if you think there is a big play to restrict City and they did that by booking 2 players in 5 mins?

    Licence Fee (TV)

    Hi guys, I'm interested in the feedback on this thread. I don't watch live TV but do have netflix. I don't watch the iplayer or have sky etc. I've actually not cancelled my licence because I don't want aggressive bailiffs on my doorstep. I have a family, kids etc and I don't want the hassle...

    Typical sarcastic response from you Vic. Just highlighting that remain stance of status quo, instead of reaching for greater alignment

    George Floyd murder / Derek Chauvin guilty of murder

    but Black Americans commit more than 50% of violent crime. So on that basis it’s even?

    well said Rascal. I teetered on the edge but plumped for remain. The recent unsuccessful efforts of David Cameron to change the EU will have hardened some hearts on the leave side. There’s lots to dislike about the EU, it was an easy message to sell. Remain didn’t put much effort in to the...

    George Floyd murder / Derek Chauvin guilty of murder

    That's truly haunting and really highlights the dangers of Policing. He appeared not to be a threat, you can't take any chances. He had no reason not to comply.

    I'm amazed anyone can get to 56+ and not have some underlying health condition? Is being overweight counted?

    BBC licence fee

    I have always supported the BBC but really feel they are in a difficult place right now. They are trying to balance the view across a wide political spectrum and as a country we vary significantly even between a progressive London and the rest of the country. That being said they do fulfil a...
