You know how Long Irish suffered under F****** British Rule, you know what was done to Ordinary Irish People.....how many over 800 Years suffered, how many were Murdered, how we nearly lost our language because under Cromwell and his Army if anyone refused to speak English they were killed. 1.5 Million Died from 1840 to 1850 under British Rule...allowed to starve to death while Tons of food was shipped out of the Country!

If I remember right, it wasn't so much that the cladding itself was highly combustible, but that the way it was installed created a chimney affect, allowing the fire to be stoked and climb up through the space between the building and the cladding

@@wallythewondercorncake8657 The cladding was combustible. Installation was not to spec. Fire breaks were installed wrongly. Windows did not fit. Fire doors were faulty .

Also the bins have been moved outside and there's rats everywhere. We complain to the council, but they're busy building unaffordable housing around us, blocking out what little light we had, and putting paths rightoutside our windows (for those thatlive on the ground floor). We had no dangerous cladding on our blocks, but due to minority pressure groups (that don't live here) we have to suffer.

The British government was in the process of changing gun laws just before dunblane happened. The law would of changed, regardless of whether Dunblane happened or not. Dunblane just ensured the new restrictions would have full public support 😉

I had a debate with a gun nut from the US and he tried to say that massacres were rare in the US. What planet do these people live on?

@@Aloh-od3ef Wrong. The British government was in the process of proposing a relaxation of gun laws just before Dunblane happened. It was a massive campaign by the affected parents and an outraged public that forced the government to actually tighten the regulations instead of relaxing them.

@@annedunne4526 Hmm. Which part of America? If you look at the demographics, there are states like Idaho that are really not that violent and have lower numbers of shootings than some of the other countries. If you broke down the states into countries, I guess Florida would be on the top, and down the bottom would be places like Hawaii and Idaho and other places where people just seem just a little chill. It is a big country and there are vast differences between each state. Even more, than we do in Australia. I've lived in America.

@@Austtube I have never been to the States and have no interest in going. My geography of the USA is non existent since we don't do it in school. The question was asked as to what non Americans thought of the gun culture. Without distinguishing one area from another we think the mass shootings are horrifying. Nowhere else has them. Looking at it from a distance I have to agree that " America is a gun".

If it hadn't been for Mrs Grundy's daughter, he'd have gotten away with it. His wife, Primrose, was seen walking around Hyde shortly after Mrs Grundy's death, wearing some of her jewellery and it was the daughter, a solicitor, who went to the police about it. Other people had questioned the unusual number of deaths at Dr Shipman's surgery, and a female GP queried the number of death certificates she was being asked to sign (you need two if a person is going to be cremated). A female undertaker also raised questions. Both were verbally reprimanded. I was at work one day; my (female) Manager was from Hyde. She'd gone out to get some lunch and the phone rang and I answered it; it was a friend of the Manager and her husband. I explained she was out but I'd let her know he'd called. He was very quiet, which was unusual because usually he was laughing and joking when he called. She came back from lunch and I passed the message on. She went into her office and closed the door. She came out about 15 minutes later and was in tears; he'd phoned to say he'd been notified by Greater Manchester Police that they believed his Mum had been murdered by Shipman and they asked him if she'd been cremated (Shipman was telling his victims families that their loved one had said - just before they died - that they wanted cremating). He advised that she had not, as she always said she wanted burying with her husband. That night, she was exhumed and a forensic postmortem was carried out, which proved she'd been murdered. She was one of the 15 that Shipman was charged with murdering. They estimate that in the course of his career, he murdered approximately 215 people. He then hanged himself soon after he started his sentence.

I met Shipman once - at my Dad's retirement party in 1990. I had heard his name before then as he was on a committee with my Dad and my parents had been to dinner at his house. My Dad had to give evidence to the inquiry but after 20 years could not remember much.

@@peterjackson4763 A former coworker said that she had been to the Shipman's house for drinks one new year. A friend of hers lived in Hyde and knew the Shipman's, which was how she ended up going there. She said that their house was a mess, and looked very dirty, she was shocked that a doctor would live in such conditions. She said that something about them seemed very off to her and she was uncomfortable being near them.

As a Liverpool fan I too watched it happen live. I know people that were in the crowd and escaped by climbing up to the seating above. Still upsets me to this day. I still won't have The Sun newspaper in my house after they printed those lies. It's not fit to wipe your backside on. YNWA 97.

I remember watching as the Hillsborough tragedy occurred. My father was watching the match and I remember the commentator suddenly saying that there was something wrong. So we the public witnessed as people were being crushed before we realised it.

I think many ordinary Brits still very much respect Liverpool's attitude towards The Sun - even us Mancs agree with you there. I've never bought the paper since either.

Unless you were in Ireland you were not watching the game 'live', it was being recorded for Match of the Day, Irish TV was showing it live. BUT the cameras went live as it became clear there was something other than football happening. I think it has been taken down but if you can find the website that was published with the HIP report you can see accounts of bravery. And one thing, strangely, that had me in tears was the day after the event people who had been taken in by local Sheffield families came back with groceries and gifts. How anyone could survive that and still think about others amazes me, the fact it happened multiple times, I think, says a lot about the people of Liverpool. RIP the 97.

No 😂😂😂

Exactly, and anyone who tried to speak up was silenced by the BBC. Often when it comes to historic offences, the question gets asked about why the victims took so long to come forward, in Saville's case it was because he had some very powerful institutions protecting him and silencing anyone who tried to come forward.

Thinking back, as a teenage girl watching him on TOTP and Fix It I always had a funny feeling about him.... Just didn't understand until after his death....

Royal family had ties to it too like Charles the WOKE King and Andrew the nonce they was good friends with him even the Queen but not just Saville Rolf Harris Stewart Hall Garry Glitter and more at the BBC and it still goes on today. I wonder what he was up to Phillip Schofield

I think you should speak for yourself, there are plenty of people who don’t know and don’t actually care, the world isn’t Twitter and Facebook, most people are not politically active, they have busy meaningful lives, don’t watch or read the news because either they just aren’t interested other than local news or they know it’s all propaganda and not worth wasting their time watching or reading it, that is the case even in the UK let alone half way around the world

It's willful ignorance with Americans. They seem to ignore the fact that their own Federal Reserve has a majority British ownership. Their freedom is only on paper.

Yeah, I never get that argument. And even if i lived in a place that only did domestic stuff i would use apps with foreign channels to know what goes on in the world. Simply because i would hate not to know what EU does regarding everything. I used to have 2 French news channels but they're gone. And thats annoying as they helped me know about the Paris attacks way faster than what Denmark had. Got 5 german flow tv channels and some streaming ones in English too. But you miss the bigger EU picture. But i like EU news as you get stories from every country not just DK. And you're right. Brexit affects all of us right now. I cant use my UK food shops anymore. That's bad enough. 😔

Well, at least he is brutally honest about his level of knowledge about international affairs. Why we like him :)

in his defense, even a lot of brits didn't know what brexit was. there was a lot of news articles and interviews after brexit happened from people who voted to leave and said things like "i didn't think that'd actually happen" or just flat out didn't know what exactly brexit meant. the main focus of the politicians pushing brexit seemed to be to keep foreigners out of the country, because being part of the e.u made it easier for immigrants to enter the uk, and a lot of people basically just heard that and went with it, not really paying any attention to what it actually entailed to exit the e.u

I'm second-guessing that Tyler may be wondering why a game between teams from Liverpool and Nottingham was played at Sheffield. Back in those days, F A Cup (I assume Tyler knows what the F A Cup is) semi finals were played at the home grounds of neutral league clubs. Hillsborough, for its capacity and location, was a fairly regular choice, but as years went by, its rundown nature became more and more apparent. At least two prior semi finals in the 80's at Hillsborough had serious near-misses, but the alarm bells caused by the injuries went unheeded.

My husband, Nottingham forest supporter, was there that day.

@@tonycowin You are absolutely correct!

On Facebook, an American lady thought that Bill Clinton had been kicked out of his presidency and was only free because he had been pardoned. I informed her that Clinton had been impeached for lying to Congress but had not been removed from the Presidency, had served 2 full terms, he had won the second term with a higher percentage of the vote than the first (after being impeached during his first term) & that it was Nixon that had been forced to resign under threat of impeachment but had been pardoned by Ford. I suggested that if Clinton had been impeached that it would have been by President Bob Dole but if she were to check the publically available list of US Presidents, she wouldn't find Dole's name in there.

Brits are _much_ more aware of world events than Americans, in general. I think it's because most of us travel abroad, which broadens the mind. That trend is improving though - in 1994, only 10% of Americans had a passport, but now it's over 40%.

As a Brit I like to think so, but its really difficult to know how much you (I) don't know, notice or see.

I went up that fatal escalator just ten minutes before the fire took hold. I had no idea that under my feet a fire was burning that would take so many lives.

My future wife and step-daughter had to run for their lives from Kings Cross.

I want to add I was surprised neither the Lockerbie bombing was mentioned (given so many nationalities, especially Americans where murdered) leading to major international sanctions on Libya & Colonel Gaddifi’s ultimate downfall, 30 years later. Indeed neither the Omagh bombing, which happened after the Good Friday Agreement was signed. A woman pregnant with twins was murdered. It has been one of the deadliest atrocities of ‘the Troubles’. Brexit I wouldn’t have called a ‘shocking’ moment. 7 years later people still scratch their heads about it. So some in this list where hit & miss. Aberfan should definitely have been on it.

@@faithpearlgenied-a5517 Thank you - you're perfectly correct, of course. I've spent years drumming into First Year students the mantra "ALWAYS check your sources"; & telling Second Years "There's no valid excuse for not doing it so you'll lose marks if you don't, for sloppy research." So I guess I lost myself a ton of marks for being sloppy, there. Have just found the two sites I got that info from and discovered one actually referred to gun "offences" the other was an unreliable source. So, no excuses - I misrepresented the UK! Thanks for the heads up.

It should maybe be noted that the changes to gun laws after Dunblane was due to a grassroots movement started by the families of the victims and backed by the majority of the U.K. population. Many politicians (mainly Conservatives) were against gun reform but faced with the public outcry the new policies were passed. Though then journalist but future Mayor of London, MP and PM Boris Johnson wrote in an article that was published in both The Daily Telegraph and The Calgary Herald “Nanny is confiscating their toys. It is like one of those vast Indian programmes of compulsory vasectomy.” In reporting how terrible he thought the handgun reforms and how the gun amnesty played out.

The death of a 96 year old woman who'd been ill for a long time was not a shock.

That day is burned on my mind forever and I remember how surreal it all seemed trying to get home when there were no buses, no tubes and no taxis. I was standing on the platform at Liverpool Street station when one of the bombs went off - it made a loud popping noise then the tunnel filled with this acrid, yellow smoke, then almost an hour later when I arrived at the office (BMA Building in Tavistock Square), the bus bomb exploded right outside my office window. You must have been very scared having to go back to work the next day. I had I think it was three weeks off, as they had to close down the BMA Bulding while forensics experts examined the bus wreckage and cleared it away. One really horrible part is that the emergency services who'd arrived on the scene just after the bus bomb exploded, had to use the foyer of the BMA Building as a makeshift casualty area. Even months later, you could still smell stale blood even though the whole area had been completely cleaned, disinfected etc.

I'd been out clubbing the previous night so it came as a bit of a surprise to me to be woken up so abruptly the following morning and wasn't really helpful to me overcoming a bit of a hangover. I know that it happened on a Saturday because it was my ordinary day off from work ( our offices were never open on Saturdays ) and I had to travel on foot along Deansgate ( the next street over from where it took place ) the next day and I got stopped a couple of times by different police officers and I had to produce my work's ID in order to get to my job - I actually arrived late for work because of that although so did most of my colleagues which was understandable considering the circumstances and the tight security after the devastation of that act of terrorism.

Membership of the EU was a non-topic until Cameron stirred it up as a distraction to save the Tory Party, then he quit allowing the right-wing loonies to take control of it. They lied, misinformed and blew the dog whistle for bigots to crawl out from under their rocks. Cameron may not have purposefully decided to leave the EU, but he laid the groundwork and created the opportunity from virtually nothing, all to save the backs of his Tory cronies. It was a back-door excuse to tackle what a lot of people actually cared about - immigration. All it achieved was 51,000 EU migrants essential to our economy leaving, to be replaced with 504,000 immigrants from other countries. I have to laugh at the irony of that - Brexit has crippled the country to achieve the exact opposite of what Brexiters wanted.
