"Some communities"? As a white, British man, my first thought when seeing someone flying/waving a St, George's flag outside of ceremony or sporting event is 'Another BNP/NF idiot'... (note, other words can be used instead of 'idiot')...

The groundwork has been set for any future President to basically do whatever they want with little or no consequences. Probability is your next President will be called Vance....
This wasn't him, not all of it is in capitals, and it's too short...
Ha! My partner had been making up to me for weeks, eventually some mutual friends told me directly he was interested in me, so I asked... We have been together over 20 years now, and I still don't know why he puts up with me! :-)
Sadly, the far right has taken possesion of the flag of St. George for about 50 years, from the BNP onwards. I remember them taking it from us, and being outraged, then watched the adults do nothing. It's my flag, but it is tainted forever.
The USA's problem is, once Trump goes (if during his term), you will have a President who believes all that right wing stupidity but is competent enough to make it work...
All chickens are demon possessed....
They would both spend it on expert consultants to give them opinions, rather than actually spending it on anything useful...
Possibly the afterlife refuses to collect someone, couldn't really blame them...
Quite agree! I still think this 'explosion of autism' is very much to do with more of us older people getting (very) late diagnosis, once we are all counted, it will flatten. Oh, better early diagnosis does affect it too.
Oh bother! How did I end up in the 'Older Adults' catergory, I'm not old, it's just that all the rest of you are getting younger! ;-)
Be careful, you might get fired! ;-)
We tend to tell the truth, and expect others to do the same. We ask straightforward, direct questions, and expect an answer not deflection or waffle. Too many of us are successful for us to be dismissed now. No wonder they feel threatened!
Probably yes, but it's so disorganised in there that I can't find any of them when I want...
Did they mention cosmic radiation, you know, the stuff our atmosphere protects us from, but which slowly kills us in space..?
Probably do a better job than most Reform councillors and MPs...
I like this take on it! We should push the fact St. George and the flag associated with him represents both England and Palestine, the dissonance this will set up in the minds of some would be well worth it!
All 12" sandwiches will have to be cut in half before serving, much less dangerous...
This is a definition of 'awesome': causing or inducing awe; inspiring an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, or fear. Think the last word is relevant here...
Once Trump is finally gone, the White House should auction off his gaudy decorations to his fan base - return the White House to it's original elegance while turning a healthy profit from idiots...
Could start with requiring all guns to be kept in gun safes, with regular unannounced inspection by police. If you can not store them safely, are you responsible enough to own them?
I remember years back seeing a news item on Dutch tv, interviewing a young lad about some traumatic event that had just happened to him. As a British person, I thought it very insensitive, but my Dutch friends saw it as normal.
Look up Autscape's website for something interesting! :-)
Stay with it, it is worth it in the end, if for no other reason than the peace of mind which comes with knowing. Remember also you can join most autistic support groups before an official diagnosis, and being around others is amazing!
It takes time, effort and even money to obtain a diagnosis, no one would do it without good cause. Also, how much of the increase is due to late diagnosed adults being included? Once the backlog is cleared, we may see a drop in numbers.
So guns can be banned in certain places? Is there any reason businesses couldn't do the same, using the same rational? Not US, so these things are a bit confusing for me.
It does depend where you live, as in some places the police can be a good initial contact, and have training in mental health issues... However, in some countries they don't even have training in law enforcement...
Russia is so technologically behind, their missiles can't be aimed properly so hit civilian and EU/British buildings, whereas the Ukrainian ones hit military infrastructure and military targets, so are better technologically... or is there another reason?
2030-31? Brexit has already messed up my retirement plans, and 5 to 15 years will probably be too late for me to start setting up again. Will never forgive the (words I do not regret but will not put here) who took us out in the face of the clear evidence.
Out of interest, how many gang controlled areas have ICE or the National Guard gone into, and how many heavily armed, tattooed gang members have they arrested? I'm sure locals can direct them to known hangouts. Just asking....
Tell them the gory and frankly ridiculous things that involve sex early enough, and the universal response will be 'eewwww, you gotta do what?!!!' and put them off for life...
The Parole Board, who are chosen to review parole applications, take all the evidence of current behaviour and decided they were not yet ready, as they continue to flout the rules. The Parole Board is there to keep everyone safe, unless there is good reason, don't second guess them.
He never heard of them as a child because he was brought up in a wealthy family, where any member suffering from any of those would have been quietly put away, never to be spoken of again....
He says the solution is simple, but when asked, can't give any details or back up his claims.
Out of interest, can a Governor mobilise their State's National Guard to defend against other State's National Guard being deployed in their State? Non-US person asking.
Surely this means the Union will call a strike? Also, as Metro's legal team what their liability would be if a driver lets masked people pretending to be ICE onto the bus to abduct people?
Interesting to use ChatGP that way, I do think we are good at using tools like this! I developed a personality, just be yourself they said! So I was, and now everyone tells me to put it away! ;-)
To be honest, I don't think NATO will expect the USA to respond to an Article 5 at this stage, and the rest of NATO has been preparing for an Article 5 without the USA.
If he didn't report in, they would have a legitimate reason for his arrest and deportation. Catch 22...
Have a look in any Asian or Fillipino store, they will probably have banana ketchup at a decent price.
The delivery is good, however the balance can be questionable, and is something that needs addressing. For more balanced news, possibly Al Jazeera, disliked by Western democracies, authoritarian regimes (Political and Religious), they must be doing something right...
Are we so insecure in our British or English identity that we have to wave flags? Was always seen as something only insecure foreigners do...
It goes even deeper, the tribalism that is in each and every one of us. How we deal with that is our own responsibility and choice.
I resented the BNP (yes, I am old) when they hijacked my Country's flag, and resent all those who are doing the same now. A true British patriot views those who wave our flags as very suspect, except at sports matches, the Last Night of the Proms, leading the army, or for those under ten.
They didn't have as far to go....
Come to Gloucester, UK, for the Tall Ships Festival! Next will be in 2027, for the 200 year aniversery of Gloucester Docks.
Out of interest, I know he sent in the National Guard to DC, but what did they actually achieve? From videos I've seen, they just walked around a bit and drank coffee?
errrr.... the kid's obstacle course in our local park is more challenging than this, and the kids do it better!
She will have been told the conditions of early release, if she chose to break them (if she has), then the consequences are down to her.
Wonder if she realises that if she has been released early, she could always be recalled to serve out her time...
Of course they did, just as our military planners developed various plans in the other direction. It's called 'War Games', and all competent militarys do this to train their planning officers. You do it with your allies, as you know what their capabilities are better than you do your enemies.
So the researchers say, as they watch an apparently unresponsive autistic child... meanwhile, the child is imagining a world of calm, and quiet, where vivid colours cover every surface, and all the rules are clear and make sense... We may not imagine what they want, but...
Are they native American squirrels?
I don't get why your National Guard (these are each State's troops?) are not immediately brought out to help in these situations. They have manpower, equipment and training, so why not?
It's down to the individual how we view it - if it prevents us doing something, of course it's a disability, when it helps us write stunning code, or paint, or do anything else spectacularly well, it's not a disability in that area, but it is up to us, not them.
How embarrassing it must be for a military target to be hit by a 'Flamingo'...
He also said they were old, if I remember correctly, so ancient, white hippies, with a track record of successful protest for Civil Rights, LGBTQ+ Rights, and against the Vietnam War... These are the people you want to have a go at? Interesting choice...
Isn't firing missiles or sending troops into a different country without their backing an automatic Act of War? I may be being a bit slow on the uptake here, but it sure seems like it to me (and yes, I include all incidences, because I don't understand how it can not be).
Their point is that the asylum seekers shouldn't be anywhere in the country, so shouldn't need anywhere to be. Totally against any Christian, ethical or moral values, as well as against international agreements, but since when has illogical hate needed reason?
Taking on a 'fighting style' by poking fun at it and showing how daft it is... not sure that can be counted as 'taking it on'... Somehow, I get the impression certain people lack a sense of humour or understanding of satire?
Was it male officers who followed her into a female bathroom? I thought that sort of thing was frowned on in Texas...
Thank you for posting this, it has brightened my day and boosted my wonder at our magnificent world!
They will release all the filler pages, you know, the ones that have 'Left intentionally blank' written across the page....
At what point in a delusion is a patient certifiable?
I wonder how many of the 200 that are no longer being rented to house asylum seekers are now closed, with no income for the owners, and whose staff are now unemployed? I am guessing they are not being used to house the homeless...
Yes, though be aware other conditions may present similar indicators, but effective management may be different, which is where diagnosis is important in the long term.
Thing is, there is no doubt about Trump's mental state, it's just that Republicans don't think it's a problem...
Hang on... you mean it's other States National Guard? Isn't that an invasion of State rights? Bit like China uses troops from out of area to put down dissent? Not US, so don't really understand this.
It's the 9% who follow the order that triggers the response and draws the other 91% into the conflict, at which point they have to fight to survive. The dictator relies on the 9% to start the fight.
If drinking raw milk may cause a miscarriage, could the mother be charged with initiating an abortion in some US States?
How far right do you have to be to be considered far right by Reform? Is it even possible to be that far right without falling off the scale?
Since arriving in Washington DC, how many incidents have the National Guard encountered that they couldn't handle because they did not have firearms? If none, why escalate?
They didn't call him a master dealmaker, it was his debating skills they were praising, calling him a master debator... ;-)
Who would trust any guarantee the US gives today? They gave guarantees when Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons (as, shamefully, did my country), and look where that got them!
The Ukrainians were given unwavering security guarantees when they gave up their nuclear weapons, so why should the believe any given in the future? Give them NATO membership now, and tell Russia to get out.
More like we will be sending military trainers and engineers to learn how a modern military defense can be successfully run - Ukraine is leading the world in resistance.
Being told by professionals how we should identify tells us more about themselves than anything. Next time offer to run training sessions for their departments, at normal rates of course...
If you are in the UK, ask to see the Autism Liasion Lead, they may be able to help with accomodations, if nothing else, they will be able to let other staff know you may be having difficulties and they will assist if possible.
You should have seen us in the 70s, and look how we turned ou.... oh... errrr.. yes, well.. oh dear! ;-)
'Except for the very wealthy'... By George! I think you may have hit on something there!
Just because we are autistic dosen't mean we can't be dangerous and a bad person, we have the same right to be nasty as any other person! After all, we are autistic, no empathy, so are not really human... I've seen humans, not sure I want to be one, they are not nice... ;-) (sarcasm.. maybe..)
I love that idea! We missed a trick by building incinerators out of town instead of using the heat and power they can generate (see the Scandinavian approach), let's not waste this opportunity!
Parents using the internet, games and social media as babysitters rather than knowing and protecting their children. This is not a new problem, needs addressing, but is being used by politicians as a tool to frighten people. Educate, illuminate, and grow, don't create hysteria.
Was it... please no... a... vegetarian sandwich?!!
More to the point, why isn't Shreveport's representative asking the Federal Government to help his district in their time of need?
All should be required to feed into district heating systems, power generation from waste heat, and enclosed water systems, which should be set up and running before the data centre is turned on.
Out of interest, were they on the clock and being paid to be there by the US taxpayers, and if so, is it part of their job description to demonstrate?
Having read the article, it looks like the cost increase is to private health care only, there is a different (undisclosed) cost for the NHS and that is not changing, so a storm in a teacup for most of us.
OK, we just look for alternatives, or take it off the prescribable drugs list for the NHS, as we do for any drug thats cost is higher than the benefits it provides.
Yes, they are rarer now, as people keep breaking them, so the value goes up.... ;-)
I'm not sure how it went for your troops walking around other countries is a good recomendation for using them in your own cities...
No point sending the National Guard somewhere dangerous, they might get hurt and blame Trump, same reason ICE go after migrant workers instead of heavily armed gang members...
errrr.... you might want to check what that last word means in a dictionary...
So in the 1600s breast feeding an infant was considered a suitable subject for high art, but is seen as disgusting now by some idiots when done in public? Interesting...
This sounds like randomly arresting people in the hopes of scaring others off - not sure if this would stand up, as either all of them should have been arrested, or those identified as ring-leaders, otherwise it's just arbitry.
Is this training a fox kit, or a fox kit training a human?
Good! Everyone who drives should take an eye test every three years, and if they can not see or fail to wear glasses so they can, they should not be allowed to drive.
Currently, what are our options? Tory, who wants to go back to that, Libdems, not ready yet, Green, nice but not enough support yet, Reform, blooming heck, you must be kidding! Corbyn, not ready yet. We need alternatives now...
You might want to start brushing up on your Russian...
The moral compass spins, but it seems some people's moral compass doesn't have a needle...
