    Still waiting for your answer Lying Old Git on whether you still stand by your lies regarding the "true image" of the 1960's Leeds United club badge, as worn by the players and featuring an owl.

    How many white people do you see killed by black policemen during arrest?

    American cops are known all around the world for over reacting and abuse of power.
    I have always told my family if they ever get told to stop and lie face down by an American cop just do it and hope they dont decide to shoot you anyway. The whole place is a cesspit full of corruption and death.

    Well technically speaking, politics in the study/practice regarding the distribution of political power in a society
    So in theory, if all political power was held by one man (Hitler, Stalin etc), this would be extreme right wing politics
    If everyone had an equal share of political power, this would be extreme left wing politics (often called "Direct" or "Pure", "Democracy" - an example would be a small scale agricultural commune)
    However in practice, this doesn't work at national level, so we elected politicians to represent us - this is called "Representative Democracy".


    But when discussing left-right wing in a democracy like the UK or USA, we're talking about the distribution of wealth - Economics
    Extreme right wing economics would be one man owning everything - extreme capitalism
    Extreme left wing economics would be everyone owning an equal share of the country's wealth - communism.

    This is highly simplified but I hope it helps.

    Well aside from those committing a crime and presenting a threat to the police with a weapon
    Precious few

    Absolutely!
    US police are somewhat trigger happy and kill about 1,000 people per year
    An astronomical figure next to other countries.

    If you're pulled over in the USA while driving, you stay motionless in your car with your hands in plain sight
    In the UK, you get out and get into the police car - such an action can get you killed in the USA.

    Hopefully it is

    And hopefully you understand the every British Conservative government since World War II, is to the left of every Democratic party led US government, ever.

    Sorry if my simple explanation of left-right wing was too dumbed down for you.

    I can give you a more complex analysis if you want, just that people using internet message boards usually have a very short attention span.

    It's you who isn't up to date with politics because it was you who brought thatchers right wing government into it, she became prime minister in 1979 you dumb ****, the politicians have changed a lot since then, yes the tory ****s were right wing but they ****ing sure as hell aren't now, warmonger Blair was the the Labour pm but he was a tory, he just didn't realise it.
    You know **** all because you've been brainwashed and gaslit and have a serious case of TDS, I mean you're asking me who the POTUS is today, fo'fuxake didnt CNN tell you, its sleepy joe Biden he may not know it himself because of his cognitive dissonance of course that's why the country is ****ed, I thought with you being a know all **** you'd know that, you're not all that clever are you.?
    Answer my question are you a real yank or a plastic one?

    The American people have rejected the left-wing agenda of the Biden Presidency and its allies in Congress. They have had enough of soaring inflation, massive federal debts, open borders, soaring crime, and woke indoctrination in schools. Nearly 70 percent of Americans now believe the nation is heading down the wrong track, according to the latest RealClear Politics poll average.

    As president, Biden has shamelessly kowtowed to the Left. He has increasingly been out of touch with U.S. voters. At its heart, the United States remains a conservative nation, with strong public support for low taxes, a limited role for the state, secure borders, school choice and parental control in the education system, as well as traditional cultural values.
