Er, an 'older people' (>65y) reporting. Defected to the Greens just before the last GE. Happy to hold out a shaky hand to younger people.

Wonder what led the police to hold the 35-year-old who then turned out not to be involved

They probably did. But responsible media would not have amplified the information. Usual practice is to wait for official statement if there are sensitivities involved. The official statement gave licence to broadcast ethnicity

C. Why speculate? Why not wait for all the evidence to be gathered and properly examined? Uninformed speculation only feeds into unwarranted hate

A. Reporting of a single crime does not provide an understanding of any correlation between crime and ethnicity
B. Er, both British-born. How deep do you have to dig into parentage to work out if a person is an immigrant? Grandparents, great-grandparents …

Why is the skin colour relevant, except to allow some to say that they weren’t really one of us. Does the skin colour give an indication of motivation?

It’d be interesting (and possibly surprising) to see how a train inspector β€˜of colour’ deals with the situation.

EMA has the network and processes to do good regulation. And at one time MHRA was a very significant contributor to EMA’s work. Whether an emasculated MHRA can apply the same rigour remains to be seen.

Medicines regulation isn’t about how quickly you can put a product on the market. It’s there make sure our citizens are well served and protected. That means looking into the dark corners and skilfully checking and re-checking data to spot any lurking danger.

6/11 The non-profit Partnership for Public Service has estimated that DOGE’s firing and rehiring will cost the US $135 billion in lost productivity this year alone. Musk is not paying that bill β€” American taxpayers are!

Shortly before the last general election, I resigned my Labour membership, joined Greens and voted Green. Can’t be untypical … others will also have abandoned Labour for other left-leaning parties.
