The solution is so simple. No more guns. Just amend the amendment.

Give every American a cheese burger for every gun they hand in that will then be destroyed

America is now at assault rifle and concealable pistol saturation, guns and God are ingrained to such a level that neither could be removed.

Not a solvable problem as far as I can see.

There are countries with lots of guns and no / very few mass shootings.

But they have rules around purchasing, background checks.

They could kill each other. If there’s no one left there’s no problem

They could kill each other. If there’s no one left there’s no problem

They don’t -exclusively-. They sell their guns to gangs in the rest of the Americas, and often go commit gun crime across the border because the police are overwhelmed and under resourced so it’s easier to get away with. See Ciudad Juarez - El Paso.

A Tory Prime Minister being loudly booed by a crowd of 100% pure flagshagging monarchists LOL

He's a bit fucked

Don't be stupid, it was clearly the girlfriend's fault. Ban women.

He's a bit fucked

He's such a cunt I half expect him to hear him say that everybody was cheering him and booing Carrie.

I was shouting Boo-ris...

My wife showed me a clip from f@ceb**k of Prince Harry (if that is what he is called now) snubbing Johnson in a meet and greet lineup. Great!

FFS I’m going to have to switch the tv on and watch some of this jubilee shit.

This has made the Jubilee weekend worthwhile.

It’s beautiful. I only wish I was there to boo loudly

Yeah, when your core vote is booing you it's time (well overdue) to go

Total societal collapse

It seems unlikely that we will as a globe get together to take enough action to live a sustainable existence so we might as well party hard and then die in a series of unpleasant resource wars.

A few people will survive and get to live an essentially stone age life. The elders can sit round the fire telling young children about bicycles.

This never gets old:

Well that's tonites bedtime story for my kid sorted.

Wakefield by-election not looking too good for Johnson et al -

Met Police Taser a chap who then ends up in the river:

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/man-taser-police-fell-chelsea-bridge-london-news-b1004089.html

He had a screwdriver. And was shouting. I'm struggling to understand how the use of a Taser can be proportionate, lawful, accountable and absolutely necessary in those circumstances. Another case of fail to do what the police tell you to so they escalate use of force?

I can’t read the story but, from what you have said, I can understand why they used that option. Would you like stabbed with a screwdriver?

Also he didn't fall off the bridge but jumped after being tasered in the middle of the road.
