So what? It was used before then elsewhere.

I know what quantitive easing is thanks. I also know that fiat money includes coins and banknotes which have been used since the 11th century. Quite. It also wasn’t invented as some sort of cure to the 2008 Crisis like the above poster insinuates.

I must have missed it - or less emphasis was placed on it. I've had another look at the program I watched on ITV. It was broadcast way back in 2007 and called Joanne Lees: Murder in the Outback. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanne_Lees:_Murder_in_the_Outback I wonder who is funding Fraser and his partner to continue to investigate the case. It's all very peculiar.

Ah ok. Hadn’t zoomed in enough to see the little village loop. Good spot.

Yeah. I don’t understand what you mean by get on the bus in front in your answer but that’s why I assumed it’s a short route and the “bus in front” has completed it’s lap already.

Sorry Waldo, I don’t understand the answer...

Dunno then.

It’s a short bus route. The bus in front has already completed one lap by the time the man gets on it.

Is the Skateboarder like Deepthroat?

Yeah, he does. It’s the punchline to a joke. We don’t hear the set-up. He then says, “tough Crouch.”

I remember seeing an ITV drama several years ago where a woman demonstrated in court that she could bring her tied hands from behind her back to her front by putting her legs through the shackles. It was key to her defence. I thought the drama was based on the Falconio case but it looks like I’m mistaken as no mention has been made of this in Murder In The Outback. What did I watch then....?

Sorry, Mel, this one has passed me by.

I wish RBS would sort their act out and introduce that.

At least not unlawful killing.

That is true. I'm saying the proportion of people dying in custody/due to lethal force of a particular race should be directly equal to the proportion of that race who were arrested. In theory at least. Put simply; if half the people arrested are white but less than half the people who die in custody are white that wouldn't be the case. I don't know what the figures actually show. I was saying the conclusion you reached in your post I first responded to is not the correct way to analyse data

I don’t know the figure either. You said that black people commit disproportionately more violent crime so it’s not surprising that a disproportionate number of black people die in custody. I was saying that’s not the correct way to interpret the figures. The correct way is to work out if the proportions of deaths in custody (or due to lethal force) correlate to the arrest rate. But, since Floyd wasn’t being arrested for a violent crime I’m not sure why you’d introduce such a limitation in your evidence.

George Floyd wasn’t being arrested for a violent crime and he wasn’t shot. What do the numbers show for all deaths in custody regardless of offence?

I'll expand on my own point for the benefit of Branny as it wasn't clear enough for my liking. A common claim is, broadly, that black people are more likely to commit (some) crime and will therefore be more likely to die at the hands of police when taken into custody. Simple enough. But wrong. A) If you hypothesize that blacks commit 50% of all crime in the US, for every 1000 crimes, 500 will be committed by black people. It follows, for every arrest you'd expect half to be of blacks. B) Then hypothesize 1 in 1000 people die in police custody. In 10,000 arrests you'd expect 10 deaths and 5 of them to be of blacks. If it's more than 5 they are over-represented. Saying blacks commit more crime so it's not surprising more die in custody conflates the two things and completely misses the point.

‘You agree‘ is a clause. ‘To’ is a preposition’ ‘Our use of cookies’ Pronoun, verb, preposition, noun. Another clause.

That’s your misunderstanding of those statistics. If it is exclusively the case that black people are more likely to die whilst being arrested for violent crime you might have a point.

It can be tricky for Natives too! I would say ‘use’ as ‘usage’ is a noun and you need a verb there. The ‘Terms of Use’ visible on here at the bottom of the homepage are a good reference. Repetition is ok. It’s only clarity you want.

Davie was Acting Director General before Tony Hall so he knows the role. Hall had been at the BBC since 1973 so would you agree he worked his way to the top? A quick look on Wiki says Davie won a scholarship to attend a fee paying school and was the first in his family to attend university. How many black leaders has the Labour Party had? How many women?

Satellites have made the use of recon aircraft such as the SR71 and U2 redundant. Air strikes can be carried out by drones and ICBMs mean long-range nuclear bombers are not necessary. What would be the purpose of a top secret multi-billion dollar aircraft?

Might be to keep footfall more regular. Most other clothing retailers can sell their built-up stock online at discounted prices. Primark can’t.

That’s not the case. Most money does not exist in the form of physical notes and coins.
