I am fine with the flags, more concerned about the mental illness going around concerning the fake "we can't hoist our flags anymore" Its up there with the "we have lost free speech"

Mostly reads like it’s stream of consciousness tbf.
Gets more like post-Weimar Germany every day: blaming a particular group for all of society’s ills, flying flags as a means of further increasing the levels of othering. It’s shameful.

And when you ask what it is you want to say that you can't now they shut down the debate & accuse people of being woke or in the case of Robinson you hate your country. Heaven forbid they have to debate & have a proper discussion

Had the exact conversation the other day with a mate, i asked what he wants to say that he feels he can't, silence. It's a ridiculous claim, made more laughable as these people cuck for Trump and he is literally banning Media he doesn't like and has attacked free speech since day one of his second term

That and the ‘They’re all the same’ trope wheeled out be proto-fascists around the world. (In the UK, as in “They’re all the same, bar Nigel and Tommy.”)

Police officers given English classes amid fears over standard of recruits
Scottish Tories question use of taxpayers’ money to improve probationers’ language skills

Standard of new officers has indeed been shocking for a while. They've consistently dropped standards to try get recruits in as nobody with half a brain cell would want to be a police officer now.
They've dropped the height and fitness standards and the cognitive and written tests and wonder why they get a load of lazy, incompetent narcissists in the forces

Most of the recruits for police at entry will be white working class boys and they have the lowest attainment in English GCSE as an average in recent times. I think that's the issue rather than specific recruits for police. Giving all new recruits the ability to use the national language effectively is probably a good thing imo.

FYI them being work class is the reason for the low attainment. Not their skin colour. But as a group there seems to hmbe an issue in academia in impoverished areas.

One of the biggest single needs to police IMO, good grasp of English/communication skills, especially at community policing levels. Improving the gaps is not a bad thing

To be able to speak with and understand other English people is a super start. So many working class communities have been failed by consecutive governments in terms of investment in public services. And now the very people who need this most are being brainwashed in to thinking Farage cares about them and their needs.
The problem is, do Starmer or Badenoch come across as people who care about the working person? No. Do the Greens or Lin Dems? No.
The whole political class is full of failing upwards consultant types who would have made a great career doing PowerPoint decks for any of the big 4.
We desperately need an alternative that actually focuses on real domestic issues othewsie populism and it's ugly head will lead us in to real civil unrest.

I agree, I have mentioned it before but a friend of mine does so much social work in Thornton Heath/Croydon and the level of people left behind because of short term, quick fix politics is astonishing. He is a mate, but when he speaks and with a passion on what we need to repair some areas, honestly makes me super proud of him. We need to change the narrative around young kids, improve public services to include a holistic approach to mental health, social health, reforms in educations. Stop telling people they can't and they won't because of their beginnings and create pathways with proven success to change society. Thats where you make the impact on things like Knife Crime too IMO, not buy putting plasters on the wounds with bans on sales from amazon etc
