Eh in the US, we’re incredibly lenient with violence against women. So the dude would have had the same lax punishment here. If he was punished at all ....

Really? Not that common? So the ETA, the IRA, the Red Brigade, etc. none of those groups ever did anything in Europe?

Sort of hate the title of this article.

To be fair, these two pictures don’t even begin to cover the differences between Sadiq Khan and Paul Ryan.

Now this is a beautiful photo 💜👍

You mean, other than abortion clinic bombings, church shootings, forcing gay kids into conversion therapy that ends in suicides, and countless women forced to carry pregnancies that sometimes end in death to the mother? And before you tell me those aren’t “honor killings,” yes they are. All of these Fundamentalist…

This is so clearly not Trump. Lol. I love that his campaign has to completely change his entire persona to make him sound decent.

The very small silver lining to the fact that same-sex marriage will be David Cameron’s only accomplishment is that the Tory government now seems to be kind of progressive on social issues. (Unless Leadsom becomes the new PM, in which case we’re all done for).

Yes exactly. Disagree with May all you want, but there is not a single area in which Leadsom is not worse than May.

God, it’s an actual race to the bottom. How the hell did we get here? We MUST have a general election and get them out. I bought a party membership for the first time, in the form they asked what motivated me, I replied ‘to fix this fucking mess we’re in.’

I agree except I’d say Theresa is the fantasy Thatcher that conservatives have built up over the years who is far worse than the original, much like American Republicans and their fantasy Reagan.

I live in the local area and we’re all in shock, all the reports are that the weapon is either antique or home made so gun nuts go fuck yourself. Incidents like this in the UK are rarer than rocking horse shit due to our stringent gun laws, and if you look at our gun crimes in comparison with the U.S you will see a…

Ok, five bucks he was completely straight like the vast majority of violent homophobes.

I don’t think you’re spamming at all. I truly appreciate your time and patience in explaining this matter.

Trust me, the 25 years is just window dressing. The reality is he is never leaving prison. The minimum sentence in this case is pretty much meaningless, he’s going to jail until he dies or until he’s so old that he’s completely ga-ga.

Going to say this as a UK-based pro-euthanasia medical student.

Not if paedophilia is normalised by then. Academics are pushing for it in England and others elsewhere too. It’s possible. And abhorrent.

I work in the UK court system, so yes I literally do. 22 life sentences is unprecedented in UK legal history.

He will never leave jail. He will be considered for parole in 25 years and promptly rejected. Parole boards in the UK have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the offender doesn’t pose a threat to the public before someone on one life tariff is set free, let alone 22 like this. The 25 years is a quirk of UK law, he…

Do you suffer from a physical disability or chronic disabling illness? If not, you might just consider not telling people who do to “chill”.
