Yeah, I read up on this because I was unfamiliar. Makes it twice as fuckedShould add that the vigil was being held for Sarah Everard, who was allegedly (using this word for legal reasons) kidnapped and murdered by a cop.

We have a fascist police force because we have a fascist government.
The only way this government goes is when it kills itself, which is what happens with all fascist movements.
From the way Jess on Marr was talking about the Bill, the fact that it doesn't mention women at all, I think there's a chance that Labour will now oppose the bill. Defo think the OG plan was to abstain on the bill, hopefully Starmer doesn't fuck up here.
it's worse with fascist tories in charge sure, but the Met is rotten to its core, regardless of who is in government. Easily Britain's most corrupt organisation and its most violent gang. Its problems are institutional. When Cressida Dick murdered de Menzes it was during a Labour government. Fuck all of them and tear it down.
Definitely, the met are rotten to the core. I would say that the UK police in their totality is corrupt as fuck when you take into account Hillsborough and the shit that took place in NI with the RUC.
The last Labour government were pretty socially conservative on the whole, when you look at the absolute ghouls they appointed as home sec.
There is one issue with Labour opposing (and to be clear, I do want them to oppose). As soon as they do that, it makes it the government vs Labour and significantly reduces the chance of Tory MPs voting against the government.
It's fucked up, but it's what happens. I'm still sort of hoping that the government realises it's not a good look right now and pulls it.
However, this government has zero shame or accountability, so good luck I guess?
Yeah the force in general is grim, just the Met seems to really harbour the worst of them, who always emerge during protests - remembering their gleeful violence during the 2010 student protests. Wasn't that long ago they charged cavalry into the BLM protest.
New Labour definitely full of ghouls, was more wanting to point out that this isn't a new problem that can be sorted democratically (as some others seem to consider), which is why the police are so brazen here. Completely unaccountable.
The front page of the Sunday papers pretty much show how right Meghan was. All but one front page that I counted show Kate Middleton secretly (after alerting the news beforehand) attending the vigil and making her look great, while ignoring the violence from later on. Fucking scum.
ABAB.
For Americans and any others that don't know know, "bobby" is a slang word for a police officer in England at least.
Usually a C replaces the B as well..."ACAB" originated in england with the C usually standing for "coppers"
If Labour abstain from voting on a bill then there's a maximum of 439 voting members of the House of Commons (since the speaker and deputies don't vote, and Sinn FĂ©in don't take their seats). Defeating a bill therefore would take 220 MPs to vote against. Of the 439 voting members in that scenario, 363 are Conservatives and only 76 aren't. For a bill to fail with Labour abstaining, no fewer than 144 Conservative MPs would have to rebel against the government.There is one issue with Labour opposing (and to be clear, I do want them to oppose).

Don't forget Orgreave and the miners strikes.
As a Yorkshireman the idea of voting Conservative or siding with the Met on this, as many of my county compatriots have done and no doubt are doing today, makes me feel sick to my stomach.
Eh, I know. Just being cheeky...."ACAB" originated in england with the C usually standing for "coppers"
Yeah, I guess that is essentially all that matters in the end.The same outcome happens regardless. Only for one Labour did the bare minimum, and for the other they stand by and let the Tories pass it without even taking all of the blame for doing so.
This is literally one of the worst things I've ever read here, which says a lot given the utter trash that gets posted on this forum. It can't possibly be that Kate has experienced sexism on her life, has experienced harassment and God knows what else, and feels empathy and sadness for a woman who's been brutally murdered. No, it's clearly a conspiracy and a PR stunt.

Meanwhile they're happy to Indulge football crowds and lockdown protests. Fantastic work.
Misogyny and sexism effects all aspects of society, you shouldn't downplay or question someone's experience and motivation just because you don't like them.

I understand that, but do they really think that the same people that have voted leave, the same people that put this clown in charge now, the same that are racist, homophobic and transphobic and despise anything that even smells like labour, they will somehow change their mind because Starmer is... doing fuck all?To be fair if either or both of them go its not going to make any difference but Labour are targeting ex-Labour voters who voted Tory in 2019.
Problem is, the vote change from 2017 to 2019 was mostly down to people staying home instead of going to vote.

Surely they have people that understand these dynamics more than me and I wish them well: I am not entirely sure I'll be up for voting Tory light though.
I could be wrong here, but I believe the poster is criticising the newspapers rather than Kate Middleton herself.
If she was going to pay her respects she would have worn a mask like literally every other person there, but she didn't because she went for a photo op. Like, the myriad of front pages devoted to her should have made that pretty obvious.

Not to mention people pulled from Labour to the LDs in 2019 in large numbers (after a catastrophic 2017 election for them). Kind of bizarre that this, to my mind, has barely explored when the slightly larger Labour to Con shift has had tomes written about it in the last year.
