I don’t know you mean by spotting?
I might be missing something here, possible I’m mistaking you for somebody else. Did you once spend time at a protest march being responsible for watching the police’s conduct?
Oh yes. I just haven’t heard it called spotting before.
It’s a routine thing. When at a protest or rally, you often have people operating as legal observers. It’s sad that it’s a necessary thing. I’ve seen a few occasions where the police have exceeded their powers.
I don’t quite understand what this has to do with the entirely separate, empirically true fact, that a number of reports have pointed out serious problems with institutional racism within the force.
You wanted one example of institutional racism. That’s the obvious one.

Not just the MET
But lets face it, I could post a hundred of these and it won’t prove or change anything.
I’m still chuckling at the “I’ll probably not manage to get a regular job, so I’ll just try hard and become a professional footballer” notion.

You missed Heathrow Airport.
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been subjected to racist behaviour from staff there

Since the Indonesia news was first posted here, will continue here, though not sure it belongs here.
Some real howlers:
“Some changes that have been made include a provision that could allow the death penalty to be commuted to life imprisonment after 10 years of good behaviour.” Hopefully, justice is slow?
"imprisonment for “black magic”, remain in the code.:
“Insulting the president, a charge that can only be reported by the president, carries a maximum of three years.”
“A previous draft of the code was set to be passed in 2019 but sparked nationwide protests. Tens of thousands of people demonstrated at the time against a raft of laws, especially those seen to regulate morality and free speech, which they said would curtail civil liberties.”
I think that rather misinterprets the argument, but you carry on lad.
You know, just sometimes, it’s ok to not have the last word?
And sometimes it’s OK not to have a word at all?
For someone who claims to wish they could put me on ignore, you spend a lot of time following me round the forum trying to wind me up.
Maybe ‘ignore’ is a state of mind. If you want to ignore me, just ignore me. You don’t need special forum software to hold your hand for you. Next time you see sometime I’ve posted, just don’t reply. You’d be doing both of us a favour.
Here comes the reply…
Slight exaggeration
I think it goes a bit deeper than race though…I have heard stories that indicate there’s a certain way “some” Swiss treat immigrants/residents which makes them feel like second-class citizens.
So you’re saying we’re all racists
We need to nuke it
