So do you trust and believe in your court system?

Yes with a caveat. I believe the Supreme Court needs to expedite their case load so we can stop floating in the wind.

Bet it depends on who they are prosecuting

Bet it depends on who they are prosecuting

Thomas find to have taken gifts worth car sums before ruling in favour of those who gave the gifts but sure, all ok as far as Republicans are concerned. Meanwhile having a family member who is an activist is grounds for recusal...

As I've said multiple times, it's the brazen hypocrisy that's the worst bit.

So if other trust and believe in your system. You can see how they believe your President is a rapist.

You don't understand the difference between civil and criminal. And ABC got successfully got sued for $20 million for calling him a convicted rapist.

So please send a note to have BBC and the guardian to do the same so they can get sued into oblivion.

You don't believe in your court and justice system then?

So when a judge says your president raped someone does that have a different meaning in and civil or criminal law. That's how the press report it here and they've not been sued as it's correct.

The ABC case was because they said found liable for 'rape' and not 'sexual abuse' as it has a specific meaning in New York.

If they had said your president is a convicted sexual abuser they would have been correct

Which court system do you mean? Federal or state level? Very different in composition and selection as well as involvement of politics

Both?

He doesn't understand federalism.

 

[Saintjay]

He doesn't understand federalism.

I don't think you understand the question 'do you believe and trust your court system'? Apologise i should have said both civil and criminal.

A judge in your civil system said your President raped someone.

Abc were found guilty of defamation in your civil system. (They may have settled) Midly funny suing someone over something that was said when the US is so big on free speech.

It's hard for us Brits to understand how a judge can say he did rape someone, then hear how he's not a rapist.

To me as a believer in justice both were the correct decision and to me as an outsider your justice system seems to be working.

We have civil and criminal courts at both the federal and local/state levels

Aren't New Mexico, Texas and Arizona just extensions of Mexico anyway.

Mexicans sees those states like America sees Canada.

They, and California were part of Mexico back in the day

 

[McTallshort]

We have civil and criminal courts at both the federal and local/state levels

Pretty sure we have them at the county and crown level, not an expert only been once.

This is the problem when you live in a country so small and uncomplicated, you think things are so straightforward.

Okay, I have a touchy question for the UK folks because it's something I am genuinely wrestling with.

The UK immigration laws have allowed/welcomed (frame it as you'd like), millions of people from Muslim countries. It appears -- I'm a pure outsider -- here that a vast majority of those people have not assimilated very well.

With the UK's long tradition of classical liberalism, how do you feel about the UK's ability to integrate these people both economically and culturally into these values?*

Last time I was in London, I walked around and found myself in a neighborhood where - hand on my heart - every single woman was wearing a hijab or niqab. It was genuinely surprising because while you might find some places like that in the US, you would also see younger adult women wearing normal American clothing.





*I don't know nearly enough about the whole grooming stuff or any other white-hot cultural issue raging over in Europe.

There's just under 4 million muslims in the u.k, 6% of the population just under. I don't think that wearing a Hijab means that they haven't integrated nor should a religious marker represent intergration. I live in Newcastle where we have bout 80k - many of them work in local government or are involved with their local communities via charity work, healthcare and other routes. Not all of them are immigrants either, white british have been converting to Islam since the victorian era.

Whilst thing like the Rotherham grooming gangs are awful they also do not represent the vast majority of our muslim population. Much like with the Jewish population throughout history, they are targeted because they are a much more vulnerable community and easy to blame on a lot of issues

So what kinda court system do you think we have here? Village hall with the local bobby?

Small and uncomplicated country that has the baggage of having colonsed 23% of the world population at one point.

Immigration unfortunately falls into one of those you either want it or you want to stop it things in the UK. I'm open minded. We have an aging population and immigration is good if it's controlled and discussed at an adult level.

When we were in the EU we saw large numbers of workers from Poland and Eastern Europe who fitted in just fine (even marring good looking Englishmen) but there was a cost to wages and workers conditions at the lower levels.

Since Brexit immigration has actually gone up with the previous Tory government issuing more visas than any government previously.

As for Muslims, I work with and know Muslims and have no problem with them. They want what I want: a functioning society with good opportunities. I don't like conservative religion at all so as long as nobody is pushing shari law or Christians are trying to ban abortion then I'm not overly bothered.

And gave that 23% the same uncomplicated justice system
