Seems the Mail on Sunday have done a hit piece on a German Youtuber who had reviewed a commercially available stab vest.  He was pointing out it was a piece of shit and shouldn't be relied on.  They claim it's a how to video and link it to the murdered PC in London.

Gotta feel for the guy.  Don't know much about him but being on the end of the Mail's retarded 'patriotism' can't be a good place to be.

Same guy who reported about it for the Mail previously published an article about how to smuggle a knife onto a plane. Irony overload.

Are you in a trench on the outskirts of Malaga yet goobs?

We're sending our entire air force and armoured brigade?

Gig economy can fucking do one and all.

Were Ken Livingstone's comments antisemitic, really?

Some of them literally ran up to him to scream in his face.

I can see what he said as stupid, incorrect and insensitive/offensive. I don't see how we get from that to anti-antisemitism though, and I've not seen that link demonstrated by anyone using the term. You could quite easily discuss what he said and what's wrong with it without going there, but people would rather shut it down.

The only think I can find is a quote from ken saying it was for defending Naz Shah, and doing the vanessa Feltz interview.

Is there a good English summary?

Current opinion polls put her through to the second round, but then losing by 20 points to Macron, so clearly we shouldn't worry about this at all. Not even for a second. It'll be fine. FINE.

The gf, who spent a long time in France, thinks LePen had no chance once Trump got in. The last thing the French want is to be seen copying the Yanks and the Brits.

It's been troubling me recently that modern men aren't humbled nearly as much in everyday life any more. We mostly live in heated homes and get antsy if we're away from a shower for a day, our notions of toughness informed by bunches of old Eastwood films and the like, and yet it seems common to assume an innate toughness within ourselves that's never had cause to manifest.

Just a couple of hundred years ago in the American wilderness men had to Prairie it, building homes and providing food for their families. There were bears, wolves, snakes, and possibly a few bad 'uns about, but those people did okay. I'm not romanticising it at all, but if a bear kicked down the front door of your shitty shack and chewed off some of your leg, well hey, nice door, dickhead!

Okay, so not everyone knew how to build cabins and traded stuff with carpenters for theirs, but that kind of responsibility's been widely absent from our lives since the War. I consider myself pretty tough, but a typical girl from that wilderness was far more inured to hardships than I'll ever be. Everything's now amalgamated to fashion an amorphous blame machine to point at when we screw up as individuals, and I worry that we — us somewhat stupid men — need a good Laurel-and-Hardy up the arse every now and again to keep us humble and therefore sensible.

When sabres rattle, when was the last time that the involved parties' leaders had to consciously confront personal failures? No-one ever enters an invasion or war expecting to lose, such is the arrogance of the format. We should be listening about man's limitations on those Clints, not rewatching too many mule-based reprisals.

The older I get, the more I realise how badly I'd be screwed if not for the plethora of people doing the stuff that I might be incapable of.

So US has launched airstrikes in Syria.

And there's no accountability either. Superpowers with veto powers on the UNSC, autocrats and entangled regional relationships can basically ensure that no serious action can be taken to protect innocent civilians.
