It reminds that old line from the far right in the 1970s about the Holocaust being a hoax but if it did happen well the Jews deserved it.Oh God. Elon Musk just replied 'Yes' to this:I was expecting worse, when I saw "The Greatest lie of our time."
"The greatest lie of our time
Is pretending that Hitler's National Socialists.
Were 'right wing'. All Socialists are Left Wing."
"The greatest lie of our time, is pretending that Hitler's National Socialists perpetrated the Holocaust."

…"Mandyumyum" is inspired! Well done!
It’s quite mental that of all the people who were involved with Epstein, the only men who have suffered as a result are three Brits; Prince Andrew, Mandyumyum and Starmer.
Any articles in the NYT about how awful we are compared to the US over our attitude to this matter?

Confirmation, were it requiredYou are Nancy Mace and I claim my MAGA hat.
WASHINGTON — Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from a male to a female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday.

Can we put this to bed now? He’s an antifa lefty inspired by pro-trans beliefs to kill a “fascist and transphobe” AKA Charlie Kirk

Interestingly do you remember the infamous Chris Mason article about Reform which was essentially a glowing advert for them . I checked back and it was updated two days after the initial furore where he now mentions the anti vaxxer and Connolly . So clearly the BBC realized it was ridiculously biased .Been quite a lot of criticism of the Beeb because of wall-to-wall Farage and little challenge. That said, suspect we will start seeing a change in their approach.Terrible optics on the BBC news for Tommy and Elon.Literally no one gives a fuck what the “BBC headlines” are, any more. That’s the whole point of this

None of the men in the US who actually abused the girls has been named. Let alone charged and convicted.…You're forgetting the Yank in charge of one of our major banks, Jes Staley, he suffered too.

Pretty bloody disgraceful, frankly.

AI for counting from video is extremely good these days.
Re: Lucy Powell is now the favourite to win the deputy leader race – politicalbetting.com
It was discussed earlier on in this thread. They have a definite methodology and kit for it, and a motive to use it (think of Hillsborough).Think of a number. If you are in favour of the said demo, multiply by 10,000. If against divide by 1000.Just as a matter of interest...how do the polis measure the size of crowds? Is there a methodology?The Groaniad is reporting that the Tommy March had numbers “way in excess of what police were expecting” and they nearly lost control as a resultSurely that would depend on what they were expecting? And is there evidence that ‘they nearly lost control’? Of what?
That sounds like more than 110,000
Then say any old shit you think you can hget away with.
I suppose you can look at area filled and use an average density. But that would be beyond most of the Met.

I've seen a few videos about this, and it is statistically, backed up with experience and data. Jacob's method is used (AIUI), along with increased numbers through public transport hubs. I can imagine nowadays, with better live aerial imagery, counting can be done quite speedily within a loose accuracy. Certainly more accurate than the organisers' claims.Just as a matter of interest...how do the polis measure the size of crowds?
