Ok. Must admit I hadn’t heard of Flo until I started listening to the podcast where the vibe I got is she’s largely let on there as background noise. For me, bit of a shame as be nice to know what she has to say, wise or otherwise, then we could all have a chance to form a clearer opinion on her.
As far as twitter goes it sounds to me that if someone is sensitive about responses then don’t use it as a medium. Get a little tired of those who bandy around the bile piled on them when the solution is staring them in the face. |
I think she's excellent on the podcast and I like when she's on it. I think she knows her football, doesn't coat our players and is usually light-hearted and chilled. |  |

Fair enough Brian, I’ve only started listening this year. |  | | |

I know 11 is a prime number. A prime number is a number that can be divided by two integers.
I don't know how you think that helps with your plan to get the right proportion of each race on the pitch. 3.4% of the UK population is black. So would it be better to have a team of ten and have 34% of one player be black? Or a team of eleven and 37.4% of one player be black?
Oh hang on. We could field a team of 500 and have 17 black players. That's all making sense now. |
"I know 11 is a prime number. A prime number is a number that can be divided by two integers. "
Not quite correct. A prime number is one that can only be divided by one and itself. | | | |

George Floyd being killed by the police is probably a good place to start. |  | | |

That and several centuries of systemic one-way racism.
Clive Anderson, happy to recommend several books on the subject which I for one have found very helpful in getting my head round it. |  |

Because it's very, very, very much rarer for someone to be killed for being white in western nations than it is for someone to be killed for being black. Black Lives Matter isn't about George Floyd (and it doesn't matter if George Floyd was a criminal or not; the police don't get to decide how to apply justice), it's about systemic discrimination. So more black people are killed by other black people than by the police? Why? Is it at least in part because black communities on both sides of the Atlantic see significantly less resources —Â healthcare, policing, education —Â dedicated to their communities, with a commensurate move towards criminality? Well, yes, it is. And, yes, asking for evidence of racism is pretty much of evidence of racism, because racism is pervasive in our society. And those who deny it tend to have an agenda. | | | |

Not quite correct either, a prime number has two (and only two) distinct factors. |  | | |

Why is a murder is a city I don't live in more relevant than a murder in country I don't live in?
The answer: It's not really. What separates the two is the circumstances of the murder. In both cases the murderer should be brought to justice, and I'm sure if they find them most murderers they will be, including the one you mentioned in Liverpool. However when the murderer is one of the people normally tasked with finding and bringing the murderers to justice things get a bit more complicated, and it would appear a major public outcry is necessary. |  | | |

This is quite possibly the most brilliant tangential argument I've seen in a thread before.

Fame at last!
We're not allowed ambiguity in maths, this definition removes 1 from the list of primes. | | | |

"Is there any evidence George Floyd was killed because he was black?"
I believe there is statistical evidence, or at least it has been reported as being so.
"In the US more white people are killed by police than black people, but more black people are killed per capita. On the other hand, when people are involved in armed confrontation with police the police are more likely to kill a white person than a black one."
Have you got a reference for this?
"That surprises me as most black people live in London which has the highest government funding per capita in England. What is the difference in funding per capita for black people?"
It's always easy to find a exception, that doesn't mean the general principal is unfounded. | | | |

Is that not what I said. One and itself amounts to two numbers. One is not classed as a factor as if accepted as such it would invalidate the Fundamental Theorem Arithmatic [Post edited 22 Sep 2020 12:39]

No.
One is a factor of every number.
One isn't a prime number. | | | |

"Really? That surprises me as most black people live in London which has the highest government funding per capita in England."
How much of that funding is to TFL? Having buses and an underground system doesn't really help you much for education and healthcare. Maybe need a bit more of a breakdown of how this finding is spent before we can assume that it's benefiting the residents in the right way. |  | | |

One being a factor doesn't invalidate the FTA.
Every integer > 1 can be expressed as a unique product of prime factors. | | | |

You have a point. I know this is boring most on this thread so let's leave it defining one as a trivial non prime factor. | | | |
