Her mother was born in Lahore. Her mother is not white, to me as someone with Pakistani heritage Meredith does not look white.

No they were not arrested for not predicting an earthquake, they were arrested because they knew that an earthquake was going to happen yet they told people that it was safe. They were arrested for lying and failing their legally binding duties as public officials. It is still a ridiculous case, but again this has…

I think you need to remember the Italian police have really brainwashed them. I have noticed that a lot of people who support Knox do say vile things about her parents. They are wrong to believe that she is guilty, but what is left out is how manipulative the police were with her family and the UK media also helped.

As a Brit i do believe that she is innocent and i think our media was a mess in this and was vile against Knox. But it is actually really sad that in US media Meredith Kercher has basically been forgotten, plus it does not help that Meredith was not white and not American.

It is not just Matt, the way the media in US has been dealing with Trump has been a mess. They can manage to call out far-right groups in Europe and other places, but with Trump they really do downplay that he is far-right wing and treat him kid gloves. Calling him and his movement alt-right shows that he already won,…

she’s a total badass and just could not imagine someone getting away with any kind of sexual assault with her.

The US ends up deporting a huge number of the undocumented immigrants. Obama has deported a record number of undocumented immigrants. Under his presidency he deported more than any other Presidents.

I am officially team no-one when it comes to Melanie vs Daily Mail. I have honestly never seen an election like this, there is nothing positive about it. The hope and change of 2008 feels like life time ago.

My face when reading the replies, i was hoping to read that at worse that half do not teach consent. I have spent most of day reading about absence only education. The US is not more backwards than UK, but the Republicans really have such a hold on US.

I had no idea that abstinence only was still a thing, but i hope that things would have progressed because in UK we used to be very backwards when it came to sex education. We still are compared to other European countries.

Calling it a loophole is sort of downplaying it. When Germany changed its backwards law about rape and consent we did not call it a loophole (that whole thing was worse than what is stated here). They left it out because they did not care about women. Not supporting mandatory prison time for sexual assault when the…

The KKK is a thing, they have had a huge increase in membership because of the rise of Donald Trump. You may have not heard about them but they are still around and now David Duke is running in senate, he will not win but he said this first time in number of years that he feels that his views are mainstream. Racism is…

The American justice system does not even try and hide how racist it is. The way this scandal has been handled has been a huge mess. I wish that Jezebel did cover that Stanford has banned hard alcohol. They think in the case that alcohol is the problem not rape culture in US. There is also a huge problem in US with…

I have done work with refugees and i know the barriers they face to get into US. The US is only country in World that charges refugees for travel costs, many will settle into the US and then be charged thousands of dollars. I can understand that it takes more to get them into the country because they have to travel…

Still the target the US has set was way beyond what most expected of them. Also when it comes central American refugees the US has deported many, in 2014 before all of this had happened Germany was not that far behind in accepting the same amount of refugees as the US. Even when you look at how many central refugees…

I do have a very big problem with people burning stuff. Seeing white people gleefully burning a shirt of black person brings up a strong tradition of what has always happened in US. They have the freedom to do it, but as a minority it does symbolise something very different to me.

There is no such thing as the greatest country in World and if there was the US was not be in top 10. There has been plenty of data and polling on freedom of press, life expectancy, happiness and equality in the US is no-where near the top.

He was not threatened with his life. The reason why they pulled out the guns is because Ryan was being aggressive. The police later came with translator and everything was explained and the reason why they had guns pointed out them. Then they went on to make up a story and tried to blame it on a random brown person.…

In most Western countries they mange to find competition for epinephrine injections and they have to go through safety checks. There is plenty of competition out there that have products that are safe. Here in UK we have plenty of brands and none of them have had a scandal about the safety, in UK they have to go…

Actually there is a lot of competition but they are being blocked in US, here in UK and in Europe we have many different brands and there have not been any scandals about the quality of the products.
