Personally, and i know the dup etc can be called out all over, but am surprised Leo and SF visit the White House on Paddys day?
Leo actually proposed school closures in Ireland, while in the White House, after flying around the world to one of the covid global red zones in America....and then bouncing back to Dublin mid March....Cheltenham week, covid rife in Italy and pubs shutting here, but Leo has to meet Trump?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole paddys day meeting in the whitehouse is purely business in keeping the US/Ireland relationship sweet and hoping the US multinationals dont pull out of Ireland making thousands of us unemployed.
That and a jolly for the lads. Personally I dont agree with most of the countrys leaders being out of the country on its national holiday. Just my opinion.

America was built on the genocide of 80 million Native Americans and the firearm. Far from being the land of the free, it's turned into Orwell's nightmare.
Idiocracy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Convenient soundbite but what does it mean?
Britain and others left many of the countries they attempted to colonize in a bit of a mess.
The US is not the only country founded on the genocide of the indigenous people. Australia is a good example. They don't all have the same issues that the US has. That suggests that there are other issues at play.
As for gun ownership, no doubt that's an issue but there were no guns used in this current crisis. Germany is the fastest growing country in the world for gun ownership. Nobody seems concerned about that.
As for the Orwellian nightmare. Agreed but that not exclusive to America either. Arguably it's worse here. The western democracies are now using technology to impose the same controls on their citizens that the totalitarianism regimes have done through force for decades.
As for idiocracy....the American people elected a guy you don't like. Too bad. It's not that long ago that the same people elected Obama for two terms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolutely that the First World Empire building countries commited henious acts in persuit of power and riches.
Austrialia had a massacre years ago and banned possesion of firearms unless certain criteria were met.
The 2nd Amendment in the USA was written at a time when people were out in the wilderness with a musket that could fire about twice per minute. It's grossly out of date and not fit for purpose. BUT...the mentalist NRA members will task you too remove their AR-15 armoured piercing assault weapons* from their cold dead hands.

Nothing will change until the majority change their behaviours. Until people who have a good life vote to help people who don't then nothing will change. That isn't relative to just America, that is the UK, Scotland, Australia and so on
We live in a democratic world where the majority win and the majority tell the minority to suck it up as that's democracy for you.
It doesn't matter if you are black, disabled, Indian or whatever you have to work twice as hard to be on an even footing. If not then pay twice the going rate to achieve that life whether it is to assist with making a home and life more amenable to someone in a wheelchair or the cost of taking your family out of a rough gang ridden area. Generally it will be the minority who cannot afford to make the changes.
I don't expect anything to change, I have been outspoken about racism for a long time - long before Trump and Johnson were in charge but what I see every now and again is an incident where people post things like #blacklivesmatter but the truth is it is just a social media post and soon becomes a memory that come sup on the FB account. They voted since and voted to better their lives again. People are inherently selfish.
Man made borders are now the barrier to preventing others from trying to reach a better life - and by better I mean safer, safe from civil war and poverty.
All lives matter is what I see. All lives matter is the statement that is the very epitome of white privilege. It's the equivalent of yeah but.... I wholly believe that every life does matter equally but until people see the social difference then all lives do not matter. At the Brits Dave performed one of his best hits IMO called "Black" and it was tremendous, his additional verse has been on my profile for months now. It hit home to most what life is like for where he grew up but sadly though that don't want to get it started hunting for yeah buts...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You make it hard to reply ending with that!
Re your voting comment I am lost as to who I should vote for in Scotland to deliver the change you reference? I’d have thought that the regular return of a left leaning, social Democratic Party was about as good as it gets?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was more rhetorical than aimed at any particular party. I was just using voting as an example of how we all live our lives for the greater good and our voting is inherently selfish.
I don't have an answer to what party is best to vote for, I suppose we'd need to vote for a person and what the promise to deliver at a local level rather than look at what party they represent.
Personally I tend to sit more towards Tory leanings but in the latest elections either GE or local I have voted SNP and Greens
Call me controversial but the days of voting for a person at national level are long gone aside from the few independents that stand and rarely win. Many of them standing because they have been chucked out their previous party for not following party lines.
The voting selfishly thing not so sure either? I think people draw lines based on lots of things and life experiences that may rule out some parties. Other than that I think people are willing to vote for collective good that may make them less well off provided it is not too less well off?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I might be wrong, but didn't the Lib Dems attempt that approach but were not supported greatly? Maybe because of perceived poor leaders?
It doesn't really come as much of a surprise that a country built on racism would still be struggling with the issue given that it has never truly addressed it's past.

Completely agree. That won't change, it is all party based now and I am as guilty as most for voting as such.
I also agree that some vote unselfishly - to a point. It is that collective good that I also am part of that ignores the minority who struggle.
To try to bring it back full circle - would it matter what party was in charge when the biggest problem young black people in London face is gang culture. Before they are old enough to vote themselves they are caught up in it as there is no choice but to do so. It is a vicious circle though as the parents likely want them to not do it but can't afford to move out of the poor areas of London. None of the political parties can change that but in my utopian opinion we as people can change that.
Employment and social opportunities being made freely available to the most vulnerable in society. Show these young people there is a vision to go live a full life

It doesn't matter if you are black, disabled, Indian or whatever you have to work twice as hard to be on an even footing. If not then pay twice the going rate to achieve that life whether it is to assist with making a home and life more amenable to someone in a wheelchair or the cost of taking your family out of a rough gang ridden area. Generally it will be the minority who cannot afford to make the changes.
I don't expect anything to change, I have been outspoken about racism for a long time - long before Trump and Johnson were in charge but what I see every now and again is an incident where people post things like #blacklivesmatter but the truth is it is just a social media post and soon becomes a memory that come sup on the FB account. They voted since and voted to better their lives again. People are inherently selfish.
Man made borders are now the barrier to preventing others from trying to reach a better life - and by better I mean safer, safe from civil war and poverty.
All lives matter is what I see. All lives matter is the statement that is the very epitome of white privilege. It's the equivalent of yeah but.... I wholly believe that every life does matter equally but until people see the social difference then all lives do not matter. At the Brits Dave performed one of his best hits IMO called "Black" and it was tremendous, his additional verse has been on my profile for months now. It hit home to most what life is like for where he grew up but sadly though that don't want to get it started hunting for yeah buts...

You make it hard to reply ending with that!
Re your voting comment I am lost as to who I should vote for in Scotland to deliver the change you reference? I’d have thought that the regular return of a left leaning, social Democratic Party was about as good as it gets?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was more rhetorical than aimed at any particular party. I was just using voting as an example of how we all live our lives for the greater good and our voting is inherently selfish.
I don't have an answer to what party is best to vote for, I suppose we'd need to vote for a person and what the promise to deliver at a local level rather than look at what party they represent.
Personally I tend to sit more towards Tory leanings but in the latest elections either GE or local I have voted SNP and Greens

Call me controversial but the days of voting for a person at national level are long gone aside from the few independents that stand and rarely win. Many of them standing because they have been chucked out their previous party for not following party lines.
The voting selfishly thing not so sure either? I think people draw lines based on lots of things and life experiences that may rule out some parties. Other than that I think people are willing to vote for collective good that may make them less well off provided it is not too less well off?

I might be wrong, but didn't the Lib Dems attempt that approach but were not supported greatly? Maybe because of perceived poor leaders?

It doesn't really come as much of a surprise that a country built on racism would still be struggling with the issue given that it has never truly addressed it's past.

Completely agree. That won't change, it is all party based now and I am as guilty as most for voting as such.
I also agree that some vote unselfishly - to a point. It is that collective good that I also am part of that ignores the minority who struggle.
To try to bring it back full circle - would it matter what party was in charge when the biggest problem young black people in London face is gang culture. Before they are old enough to vote themselves they are caught up in it as there is no choice but to do so. It is a vicious circle though as the parents likely want them to not do it but can't afford to move out of the poor areas of London. None of the political parties can change that but in my utopian opinion we as people can change that.
Employment and social opportunities being made freely available to the most vulnerable in society. Show these young people there is a vision to go live a full life

It won't.
Keyboard warriors like you dont normally change anything and an impending front of low pressure will keep most of the others indoors.
Of the ones who do protest and riot, some will find themselves in jail and many others will contract Covid which they will spread to frends and family.
That's the reality and some low rent wum on a football forum won't change it

He doesnt have the courage of his convictions to do something about it though.

Ok.
I call out white racism daily.
Black racism is "acceptable" then?
That should lead to wonderful future.
Of course black lives matter and in case you missed it, those involved in Floyd's murder are receiving punishment and justice is being done.

Never happened, it’s a purely white phenomenon, calling the police on innocent black people hoping they get hurt or killed.

Funny how even we can agree on some things tbbab. Usually it's things that are so self-evidently correct that only an idiot can't see it.
