Dunno…too long ago for me to remember many details and as I said, I can’t find a source.

FWIW, those events took place in the USA though, and the article I’m referring to specifically mentioned the U.K.

I can’t find any sources for this now, but a while back I read an article that basically said in the 1500s (roughly) people were starting to turn against the rich holding the bulk of the wealth. So the rich met up with some priests over a tankard of mead and came up with the idea that the church should say the rich deserved their wealth.

They did it in the 50s with communists. Probably before.

No worries mate. Can be hard to detect tone in text.

Plus I should think a certain type of person will say this seriously.

I was taking the piss. It’s nowhere near enough depth or long enough. For example the chapter on de-escalation might not even exist.

USAmerica cops have formal training?

In the fifties talking about communism was a big bad thing according to Bill Bryson. People talk like the western world in general, and specifically USAmerica is this moral bastion.

True that. As I say…I’m not on the list, nor am I allowed to make large or important decisions alone.

Jesse Singal. The other person that replied reminded me. When I left his being allowed to be on the platform was a bit of thing.

That’s the one. It’s a while back I left now.
