A loaded shotgun was found in the car, while cartridges were discovered on the ground nearby. Forensic testing showed it had not been fired on the night of July 26 last year.
Akinsoji was on trial alongside Nathaniel Lewis, 23, Darnell Joseph-Newill, 21, and Troy Ifill, 22, who were also said to be associated with east London gangs, who had formed an alliance under the name "Northside Newham".

Three teenagers have been arrested after a 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death in a street attack in north London.
The victim, who died at the scene on Caledonian Road, Islington, on Tuesday, has been named as Nedim Bilgin.
Two male suspects, aged 16 and 17, were arrested nearby on suspicion of murder, and an 18-year-old man was arrested at an address in Islington, the Met Police said.
All three remain in custody.

look at how many tribes people belong to today. family, block, sports team, city, state, country, hemisphere. Many people would be willing to fight or in some cases die to protect many of those. racism is just an extension of tribalism.
A case in point would be that american missionary who was killed by the lost tribe recently. they were being tribal and racist in their attack and murder of him.

So you are saying that morality doesn't exist? At least you agree with Nietzsche on that.
So, if morality doesn't exist, why do you criticize anybody, for anything? Anything goes, right?

Re: Today's news from London
Its not that morality doesnt exist, but that morality depends on your POV. Morals after all are merely the "code" by which you choose to live. Some of the items of this code of course are shared with others, and become "laws" either enforced by statute or by other means,, and these then become the "morals of society" which in fact need not be of necessity good. Others are "personal" morals, a kind of individual code of honor which may or may not accord with society's views and indeed may at times exceed society's morals.
for instance I consider myself perfectly moral in shooting my own dinner and consider immoral those who criticise me for doing that, whilst chowing down on meat killed by proxy, simply because they haven't got the nads to strangle their own dinner......
As TDYK says morals can be very fluid, and whilst at times the morals of the right can be suspect, the morals of the left are so fluid one is left wondering just what morals they actually subscribe to....vis the rabid antisemitism of the current left here in this country.

To say that morals is a product of human imagination, is the same as saying they don't exist. If not imagination, whence does it come?
I agree with everything you said, except to try and reify something that is illusory.

Re: Today's news from London
I'd argue that point quill....society is a product of human imagination and clearly it exists, religion, however much the object of worship may fall short of reality, is a product of human imagination and clearly exists. Science, for all that ITS components may be real and tangible (with the exception of the hairy fringes of quantum physics) is still a product of human imagination, (what knows the shrew of atoms and quarks?)

Re: Today's news from London
morals are as fluid as a river. 500 years ago it was morally acceptable to burn women at the stake for knowing a bit of herblore. 200 years ago it was morally acceptable to have slaves, today it isn't, morals change all the time. 60 years ago it was shameful to have a baby outside of marriage, today it is more unusual to have it within it seems. 50 years ago it was morally wrong to be homosexual, today it is fine.

Re: Today's news from London
To say that something "exists" that is a part of the imagination, is questionable.
Besides the 'fact' of thought (as distinct from the 'content' of thought), all that is real is that which can be detected by the senses (empiricism) and certain urgencies (eg, fear of falling).
One such urgency is self-interest and self-preservation. Whence comes the golden rule: do onto others that which you might wish to be done onto yourself. That's just a logical extenuation of self-preservation. But it's the foundation of a lot of rules.

Re: Today's news from London
morals also change by culture, here the age of consent is 16 and it is morally and legally wrong to have sex with someone under that age, in nigeria it is 11. So you can have sex with an 11 year old there and be doing nothing wrong but do it a few thousand miles north and you would be on a nonce wing before your feet could touch the ground.
who is morally right and who wrong in that case, of course we would claim to be morally right, but are we able to say a black state is morally wrong because of that. Isn't that racist?
Morals are minefield and what is morally right today might be morally wrong tomorrow.

Yeah, that's where I was going too. If you believe in Nietzsche and the existentialists, you don't want to be at a Bible meeting.

No Eddie... the truth is always the truth... it will never pretend to be anything... however, bullshit will always pretend not to be bullshit, and always pretend to be truth...
Truth will always stand up to scrutiny... in fact, truth welcomes scrutiny and question, as it has nothing to fear from being shown to be itself...
However... bullshit hates scrutiny and question as it hides in the shadows, fearing being exposed for what it really is...!

Re: Today's news from London
I actually do think there's one objective moral, that harming the innocent is wrong.
Of course, you can have endless discussions about what constitutes harm and what constitutes innocence, but it's a good starting point, I think.

Extreme cruelty is an offence - this is a little known fact.
Just because something offends you does not mean it automatically offends everyone. for instance I could be highly offended by much spouted by corbn and his cronies, as much as I would like it, I don't think he should be shut down for it.

But the word "offence" certainly seems to have triggered you something rotten.
Let me put your mind at rest: I meant 'offence' as in criminal offence/felony/misdemeanour. A legal term.
I did not mean it as in ''taking offence''.
As an aside - If the extreme example I cited did not touch your soul in any way,
then yes, one of us HAS got a problem.
Clue ….. not me.

In the context of 'extreme cruelty' I'd have your meaning was obvious.

Shouldn't it be the person making the accusations who has the responsibility of providing the evidence to back up their claims...!?
But as yet... the mud has been thrown... although we have not seen Andy provide any evidence to back up his bullshit claim... or offer any apology either...!
And you can bet your life that he will never provide any evidence for his claim... and I very much doubt that he will ever apologise either...!

fill in the blanks in the following sentence
the vast majority of violent crime in London and other major cities is committed by......... upon ..........
Yes plese answer that question or is it based on a bias you have?
Then explain to me what relevance the skin colour has on violent crime scientifically?
You see you are actually part of the problem here, when it comes to the racial bias that people do have
I mean 60 years ago who were the gangs in London?
The Krays and the Richardsons, who were white, but was it because of their skin colour, that they were criminals?
You will find London has a high level of gang violence, with a mjority being black, the rest of the cities around the UK is different, so again I ask, what bearing does the skin colour have to you?
You see you never look to see what leads people to crime in the first place and the core aspects of this. Your first view point on this, is the absurd racial classsifications and only based on a set time in history
You see it has bearing to racists like Tommy, because as seen here, he uses this as a bases against immigration. I mean the first article foes off about no doubt 4 Black British criminals. Yet he claims this is down to immigration. When they grew up in a British culture and turned to crime. You see its very easy to see past the racist drivel that Tommy presentes and like I said. He never would argue and claim a black or Asian person has been wrongly convicted. Even though there is many examples of a miscarriage against Blacks in both the US and the UK.
You the likes of Tommy and yourself use crime as a means to target immigrants with the same brush. You then make really bullshit arguments, that you really care about the infrutsructure, but makes the poorest arguments about immigration. As if a means to deny people coming here. As we never read the countless wonderful stories of how the majority of immigrants lead good lives, but the minority who are criminals.
So when people rightly point out racism within people, unlike where The Devil You Know claims, its done to shut down debate. That is a red herring by the right and shows in fact they look to defend racists as there was never even a debate to start with here, until I generated one. Which this debate is going strong. Its important to reason why someone is racist, as it proves their political motivations and bias.
So you tell me based on how you use a time frame and certain places, where you think skin colour has a based to argue agains immigration, because that is essentially the racial claptrap that you are arguing

Science, for all that ITS components may be real and tangible (with the exception of the hairy fringes of quantum physics) is still a product of human imagination, (what knows the shrew of atoms and quarks?)
Yet societies laws in the west are based on judeo-christian values and also secular values
In fact many of our basic morals have been made into law
Though shall not steal, though shall not kill etc. As they are based on sound reasoning to make into law.
As would we like this done to ourselves
So some morals have a bases in sound reality, that does not require immagination, that come from religion.
Whether we like it or not, our core values and morals derive from religion

I think morality should be the bases for society, when its based on the "well being" of people
There is no need of fluidity for that and has a rational bases

To many its based on what is right and wrong. Which can be very fluid, based on the beliefs of people
Where to me the bases for this should be again on the "well being" of people
So poor moral values, where the person holds beliefs to commit violence towards someone in the name of religion. Thinking that they ae doing good. Would conflict with those they wish to harm's "well being". Hence to me, the "well being" of people should be the main core bases of morality.
The only time this comes into conflict, is when someone abuses the well being of people and what consequences there is for this. Is that then effecting their well being, through punishments like imprisonments?
Well that is my opinion

Ignoring the core problems themselves.
Racism, sexism etc all led to PC in the first place
Its a flawed concept, but out of a reason to do good. To tackle hate
So there would be no PC if not for racism, etc, when in reality many who are racist, actually hardly speak their minds as a racist, but do so in a round about way. In an attempt to hide their racist views
That is the point you miss
And in reality, near everyone is a social justice warrior in some sense of form.
Look at how you post threads like ones defending Tommy Robinson, which makes you a social justice warrior, but looking to defend someone who is known for his xenophobic views
Look at how smelly wants to stop abortions, just as there is people how defend the rights of women through choice
These are all forms of social justice
Many on the right simple fail to understand, that they too are social justice warriors. They simple have different goals, than those on the left

Find it yourself, or get your mate to find it. Do your own work for a change and back up what you're saying - or you could retract it, which would be the decent thing to do.
You have a nerve accusing anyone else of "screeching". Your neighbours must get through a lot of earplugs.

Nope !
Cos it was not me who brought the subject up, it was Andy.
And it was not me who parachuted in afterwards and made a terrible fuss, it was you.
My only role in this was to try to calm Andy down, nil else.
I believed him …..... without checking the story first.
You disbelieved him without checking the story first.
So you were just as wrong as I was, going by your own logic.
You & I were both wrong.

Well i would say this is your perfect opportunity to prove them wrong
Why not openly condemn the murderer of Jo Cox and also condemn the terrorism of Anders Breivik
That would be to me, the best way to dispell false charges, would it not Tommy?

No problem
I apologise for offering you out for a fight
I did this, because | knew you would run away
I am sorry about that
Now i am sorry I made you hide under the bed, sorry about that Tommy
I was mean for that
Now instead of diverting
How about you actually prove the people wrong on their claims?
I will allow you one dodge here, based on you being a snowflake, in how I was poor to you

Re: Today's news from London
If as you claim that you have every right to post what you want and refrain from condemning
I would say that even more adds weight to their accusations
So you have the power in your hands to easily refute this by condemning and yet you offer up excuses..
I think most people would place their money on those that accused you of this. When you offer poor excuses not to condemn
I am so happy, that they are now looking more honest than you.
