Challenge of the Day.

[Diasi]

This thread is where you can post things where the challenge is not to punch a hole through your screen.

My starter is this clip, but the challenge starts at the 9 minute point.

Feel free to add to it.

You couldn't make it up..
Now the Chinese are telling us what to do in our country..
And playing the racist card... Even our law are frightened to say anything..
  'You can't touch her.. you are not of her age'

In this country, the copyright in a photograph belongs to the photographer.

This fella is a regular piano player at the station, what were flag waving Chinese people there for  ?
I can only think they were afraid bosses back in China would see them enjoying western music.

Valdo Calocane, who killed three people in Nottingham last year, has had his not guilty plea accepted on the grounds of 'diminished responsibility due to mental illness', instead pleading guilty to manslaughter.

It's true that she is asking the bloke to stop playing, but at least she seems to be asking nicely with a smile on her face, rather than waving a machete at him!

On the other hand, it could be that now that we have shown ourselves to be a very weak country, everyone and their son expects to tell us what to do.
Now whose fault is that?

Does anyone know what his sentence will be?
I think I can guess.

I've long thought that people with paranoid schizophrenia, which can never be cured, should be put down.

Humanely of course.

The piano that upset the Chinese when it was being played, has now been cordoned off & has security guards to stop anyone from playing it.

We are a weak country that allow others to dictate to us.. When did all this happen !!  
Bloody Chinese telling us that playing a piano in public and recording it is wrong..

And as for that killer Valdo Calocane pleading not guilty to murder but guilty of manslaughter because of  diminished responsibility  is the usual 'get out' plea..
He went out with a knife.. I don't go out with a knife !! He was looking for a target..
Whether it is murder or manslaughter the sentence will be the same.. In a couple of years time he would have fooled the medical team assessing him and start reading the bible..

We seem to be housing other peoples crap..

Actually, I don't think that we are are weak country - we just have had a succession of hopeless, weak governments and our imposed social set up allows to wierdoes to order us about

Just one more example of why I feel that 'our country' is no longer that.
It seems that the powers that be tend to support anyone who complains about something on the proviso that they are not English.

When I watch old films set in the war years, and see how we British behaved then, I give up all hope for the future seeing how we behave now.

Even worse, I see no signs of us ever going back to the country we once were.

No piano playing during Covid either, looks like the Chinese have struck again

I've read this man was " assessed "  before being allowed to roam freely, got that wrong didn't they !! Just wondering if the same people have "assessed" that he wasn't fit to face a murder charge ?

I reckon that 'the voices told me to do it' is a load of rubbish that's used as an excuse.

I challenge any psychiatrist to prove that they've heard the voices in another person's head.

Already the idiots are asking the Judge not to impose a whole life sentence.

Well there you go, a cushty hospital order where he'll have his own en-suite room & staff to attend to all his needs.
