In North Korea when a leader dies they have hours of drivel on TV about how wonderful the late, unelected, leader was and all cultural and sporting activities are stopped. Such a thing could never happen in the democratic West, could it?

I am a republican but I still can recognise a good person with devotion to duty.

I am not talking about the person. I am talking about the absurd system. If you are a republican you should be able to understand the difference.

In South London, this fella was murdered by a drugs gang, 29 years ago. And every month i still read a new news-story about it..... The news-journalists are watched by the Editors. But who watches the editors ? and who watches the paymasters ? Edited by PalazioVecchio (10 Sep 2022 9.59am)

Otherwise, you are of course spouting uninformed BS from a position of ignorance.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

People still talk about where they were when Kennedy was shot. When someone of importance dies there is always a process. I was about 5 but I still remember Churchill's state funeral. To make your point it wasn't necessary to make a comparison with a blood thirsty tyrant. Edited by Badger11 (10 Sep 2022 10.17am)
