Starmer seems to be taking a harder stance on immigration to try to fight off reform (utterly futile imo) and has probably recognised Palestine to try to balance it out.

I mean yeah he seemed alright not exactly the sort of fella that I find myself mixing with tbh but objectively he seemed decent. He came across as probably just having a bit missing that ‘normal’ people take for granted. Also I think his comment about not being taught how to be successful was insightful. The perfect storm of 0.1% level success/fame/wealth, chronic addiction, and amazing tolerance to all substances. I feel like there needs to be a sequel on Nick Cage after the teasers.

By some clinical or legal definition he might have been ‘alive’. But I very much doubt he was in any way conscious or had a heart beat, aka actually alive. I mean I’m no expert, it’ll be interesting to hear verified details tbh but from what I have seen/read he was every bit as dead as any deer I gralloch.

Watched it at the weekend. Absolute train wreck compounded with being unavoidably successful. And as you say very likeable. f****d absolutely everything by the sounds of it too.

I want to start with I’m suspicious of this statement that the bullet was found given the trauma. Is it verified? However comparing the terminal ballistics of an “aught-six” on steel verses flesh is horribly flawed. My 25-06 will do the same to mild steel, and yet I’ve had 100 yard munty totally eat a head shot like it was a 22. The internal damage was catastrophic but externally it looked like nothing. The credibility of this theory needs more details. If a frangible bullet was used and the shot directed at the spine then almost anything is plausible. I’ve pulled countless bullet bases o

I would say by definition if being triggered results in you committing an assassination then you qualify as radicalised. I mean ‘normal’ people don’t assassinate people that upset their feelings. Of course it could be the old chestnut “mental illness”.
-
Agree mate but maybe their hope is that this will help get some leniency in sentencing. Or maybe they are just really decent people who hold right and wrong in high regard. Maybe even religious. Either way I really hope America shows them compassion. It really looks like they did their best and this lad was radicalised by a poisonous ideology.

I don’t know when he would put this hypothetical body armour on but I don’t believe he was wearing any anyway.
-
He’s dead as f**k.
-
Not sure if the school playground shit is still going on or if we’re back to discussing the actual OP. Anyway, it’s looking like this lad came from a decent American family and was radicalised at college/uni. With the current administration and national feeling I wonder if this will lead to some quite serious door kicking and other anti terrorism type actions. It all feels a bit 9/11-esque.

I suspect that at some point in the next 5-10 years he would’ve taken his first political office and then maybe 10 years after that been a contender for the presidency. He was a very significant activist amongst the grass roots. However, I very much doubt he felt the need to have counter sniper teams at his events. Taking security that seriously doesn’t just mean dealing with snipers, it means bomb dogs, hostile vehicle mitigation, facial recognition, maintaining files of known opposition/threats, drone defences etc etc etc. No doubt this will change political events for some time though.

JFK and DJT were presidents though. This fella was just a popular activist. I suspect we all underestimate how easy something like this is. Dunno just a suspicion.
-
Clearly a weak mind too. Very poor character.
-
I only watched the video of it last night but it looked legit as f**k to me. Only thing that slightly surprised me was the volume of blood flow. But you can even see his face distort from the hydraulic pressure. I doubt he felt anything at all.
-
Not sure how accurate this is but just seen this. Whoever it was I’d say they were very confident with a rifle. Not necessarily former forces or pro but a 200 yard neck shot in that scenario is a pressure shot. In a field on your own you could hammer a four inch gong all day long but making that shot in that scenario is someone who is familiar with taking shots under pressure I’d say. Interesting to see how this plays out.

You just can’t stop can you. I’ll leave you to it mate.

So what? He’s died as a consequence of, and for, his beliefs. Your comment reads as a thinly veiled version of “got what he deserved”.

Not entirely surprising given how broken politics is and how he intentionally provoked debate on super charged political issues. What he did, we need more of, from all political corners. He’s now a martyr in the war on the freedom to express yourself.

Oilfield worker?

The legislation is kinda meaningless in drawing a conclusion. What really matters is the data on how many are actually vaccinated. Sweden could have 100% vaccination rate which would then not support what you are saying.

We’ve bought B already and are to buy more (very f***ing slowly). This announcement is specifically the A variant for a nuclear strike role. My concern is given every other capability is hanging by a thread what impact is this new capability going to have? Having read a bit more the As will likely be straight swaps for future Bs so they will reduce the overall carrier strike capability. Maybe that’s a good trade off. But that money could’ve gone into more submarines, the tempest program, or any number of other big impact systems. Like I said, I’m not sure how I feel really. Kinda feels like it
-
The a isnt.

Mixed feelings on this. Yeah great we now have sub strategic nuclear options to counter the same. Plus the A variant will be generally handy for conventional deep strike. However, it’ll cost probably 2B to generate, introduces a third fast jet platform to maintain, could the typhoons not have delivered a credible alternative, and finally how does this impact tempest…
