O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

I think you once described him as a cnut, but you said that he was your cnut. He's fairly obviously still a cnut, is he still yours?

Did I?

I'll take your word for it Driller.

He still has entertainment value, you've gotta give him that and in few more weeks/months he'll be a forgotten cnut.

Makes you wonder what he'll get up to in his last couple of weeks in office?

I don't know. As far as I can see the vast majority of them are milling around outside quite peacefully, actually facing away from the police. The ones inside are apparently involved in an armed standoff with police. Would they have been shot if they were black? I don't know. Maybe. The majority of the police are probably Trump supporters, which might affect how they treat other Trump supporters (it shouldn't, I know).

There are also very few police there. Maybe about 1 luminous jacket for every fifty or so protestors. Not sure what they would do exactly, they look like stewards by the Kop trying to stop a pitch invasion on the last day of the season. On Al Jazeera they've just showed batons flying inside. A request to call in the National Guard has apparently been declined by the Pentagon.

He needs locking up now to protect the nation. The Virginia National Guard are now on the way to support the local law enforcement. The DC National Guard have not responded as they are controlled by the President not the city's Mayor.

Which half? Or third or quarter?

Sounds like some poor soul has been shot inside the building.

Which half?

The half that believes in democracy. Unfortunately, they are only around a half.

It was the same in this Country, Eli.

Sky saying reports of someone (possibly a woman) being shot by a member of law enforcement. All unconfirmed and pretty chaotic though. No doubt we'll find out more in due course.

Was it? I don't remember tear gas and gunshots at Westminster.
