Black Lives Matter Global Network are a fringe political lobbying group focusing mainly in California.

David Mirrin, in 2011, said this. "That leads back to the trading strategy: Short the dollar. The greenback is already down 20% since Murrin predicted a 50% decline in the pages of Forbes two years ago and he says it’s headed lower, flight-to-safety upturns be damned. “It’s going to be oversold all the way down,” he says, chuckling." in 2011 The Dollar index was around 80. Today it's around 96. That's about a 20% increase, despite covid. I think you should sign up for his financial advice and let us all know how you get on. Good luck.

I don't think you understand the duck test/abductive reasoning.

No, I'm basing my conclusion on actions, not appearances.

Yes you can use the duck test logic. Just tell us what a grooming gang member looks like or what a terrorist sounds like.

You'd have to have a complete lack of empathy to even ask those questions. I can't be bothered to explain to you why heckling anti-racism is wrong. It seems self-evident to me.

The duck test is a form of abductive reasoning. This is its usual expression: If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. The test implies that a person can identify an unknown subject by observing that subject's habitual characteristics

"Coming over here, raping and bombing and this is the thanks we get?" Your views are horrific.

Brexit -> Kick out foreigners -> Scream at dinghies -> Defund The BBC -> Bring back hanging -> Bring back National Service -> Imperial measurements -> lead in petrol -> Old fashioned lightbulbs Have I missed anything from your joyless utopia?

I'm assuming someone is racist if they have a dissenting view on anti-racism efforts. Yes. Especially if the anti-racism effort is innocuous like taking a knee for 5 seconds. The rest of what you wrote is logical gibberish. Sorry.

If someone takes the knee and says it's a protest against racism then the default position would be to believe them. If someone chooses to boo that protest then I don't know what other conclusion we're supposed to come to, other than they're racist.

A health care poll tax.

That's a great article - thanks.

Yes. You've got it. This means consensus in science is not irrelevant. It's the reason bodies like The National Academy of Science in The USA exist.

There's a scientific consensus that smoking causes cancer. If you really want I can dig up the names of scientific bodies that have advised governments on that consensus.
