While admitting the situation was "not perfect" for the UK's largest force, Sir Mark Rowley insisted that some attempts to "rubbish London" were "driven by politics".

    “that was a different London than you have today. Today you have people being stabbed in the ass or worse… it’s crazy,” he said.

    Donald needs to stop believing all the bullshit Fox News and their ilk are spewing out. Because the only thing involving asses in this situation is Trump talking out of his (yet again).

      Anyone else remember the Harris/Trump debate where his evidence for “They are eating the pets” was indeed “I saw it on TV”?

        Or when he thought Portland was a war zone because he saw it on Fox News?

          Actually watching street fights from years ago in a different city…

          But what is remembered more? POTUS utterance or the debunk?

      He also needs to stop embellishing his logorrhea with qualifiers like “or worse”, “or better” etc.

      stabbed in the ass or worse

      It tickles the imagination in a way that probably wasn’t intended and makes no sense.

      If it discourages Trump from coming to London, I’m sure most Londoners would be fine with him staying deluded.

    How many school shootings did you have today? Or just “regular” shootings, where someone dies of a bullet wound?

    I’d rather be stabbed in the ass than shot dead at school.

      I mean, the orange man was just trying to help the met police. He offered to send troops to deal with the crime.

    Rapist felons in American should never complain about crime anywhere ever. We are the crime-ridden shithole because we let rich white people get away with everything under the sun.

    “driven by politics”

    Understatement of the year. Factually 100% correct but I don’t think anybody bothered to even point that out in US politics for a long time.

    If there’s one thing I know about the Brits it’s that when they say “nonsense” they mean “complete and total bullshit”

      If there’s one thing I know about Americans it’s that when they say “bullshit” they mean “utter poppycock, twaddle and codswallop.”

        Nah, they mean “I know it sounds unlikely, but I’m still too credulous to actually disbelieve it”. Or they would if they had such an expansive vocabulary. It probably sounds like “Woo Yah” in their heads.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
    • Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don’t allow those links either.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
