My youngest showed me comments that some people he speaks to on his gaming platforms (mostly in the US) have been putting up saying similar stuff. He has known these people for years and has tried to argue that, whilst he didn't like Kirk or what he stood for, killing him was an appalling thing to happen and something that should not happen in a democratic country where they have the opportunity to oppose such views without having to resort to violence. He was genuinely shocked that people he had considered friends would express opinions like this.
Put it this way - he?s far more popular and liked than Starmer will ever be. Likability does not come into it - Blair could talk the talk but he was an absolute w anker who took us to a war without reason - scrapped the 11+ grammar school system and introduced sky high fees to universities.
I don?t mind a leader who is horrible if he fixes what needs to be fixed. Trump has curbed illegal immigration and for the first time of a US leader allowed long range missiles to be fired by the Ukrainians. Sleepy Joe the wet liberal refused for long range missiles to be used or fired.
I dislike Trump don?t get me wrong but he?s not our leader and I dislike Starmer more as he?s proving to be the worst PM in history with the clowns that surround him. Even the Tory leader makes mincemeat out of him at question time.
Think you are right Matt that an increasing number of Trump voters are having second thoughts as-despite his various boasts-the American economy is not doing as well as he says it is and people's own personal circumstances have not improved. I'm sure that his willingness to send armed National Guard into US cities whilst being reluctant to stand up to Putin or reign Netanyahu in hasn't gone down too well with many non core MAGA voters either. Even so, I'm sadly still not seeing a viable alternative leader emerge that can threaten his position.
Kirk held quite a lot of hateful beliefs that he sought to spread amongst others but if the president of the Oxford Union posted tweets celebrating his killing then no way should he be allowed to hold that position. He should hang his head in shame at expressing such opinions and resign but I bet he wont. You cannot decry hate speech on one hand but act similarly on the other. Lets see if the student body do the right thing and dismiss him.
Looks like they have the shooter responsible and he?s a 22 year old. Utah are asking for the death penalty for this case. If it?s cast iron then yes he should be put to death. No ifs or buts but eliminated.
We too should do this in certain cases where it?s cast iron ie that cop who kidnapped, raped and brutally murdered that young girl.
