Its a shame for everybody that they didn't stick to their chosen professions then, isn't it?

Having lived in USA I can tell you there really is a better way. Over there the police don't even try to be everybody's mate. BUT, the level of policing is incredible compared to here. Where I lived was a place called Greece, its a suburb of Rochester NY. The local police possibly had ten cruisers out of a night time despite being a sleepy hollow with nothing going down. Then on top of that you had the County Police, the State Police, Highway Patrol and so on. Being close to the border you had immigration/ border agents as well. Plus of course the FBI Phone the police with reports of say a prowler and you would have four or more cars turn up within minutes. All bored and grateful for something to do having been sat in shopping mall car parks and road intersections for hours "just showing the badge". I actually never knew of a single burglary. all the time I was there. Or a car crime, people thought I was strange because I locked my car But shoot an intruder in your home and its no questions asked. Its your absolute legal right as long as it in your home. Say what you like it deters break ins, or home invasions as they called them. But should a burglar by luck avoid getting shot, he would face seven years for a first offence when caught. And seven really means seven. After that if he re offended again it would be fourteen the next time

And while we are at it, there is already a perfectly adequate crime of riot, so why isn't it used? Riot (Section 1 Public Order Act 1986) The behaviour of those causing a riot must be such that the average person would feel afraid by their actions. If you were to commit this offence, the trial would take place in a Crown Court where you could be given a maximum sentence of 10 years.

Its nearly always big picture windows facing trees. From outside the window acts like a mirror and the pigeon sees trees reflected in the mirror so it flies towards what it sees. Pigeons don't have binocular vision so they cant see in 3D to judge distance. Thats why they fly into the glass so hard People stick pictures of hawks on their windows to deter them

put their faces on tv with £1000 reward. That is cheaper than the police having to find them. And then add the reward to the fine as costs. leave them wondering which of their mates turned them in

The rabble are cannon fodder. You need to look at who is standing behind them with the radios and loud hailers

You have to break these things down layer by layer Those people didn't just spontaneously all turn up in Bristol on a whim Somebody organised it somebody sends messages out to the protestors telling them where and when Demonstrations are coordinated by professional agent provocateurs and they must be known to the police, MI5 etc like the old football violence, kill it at the roots

Its not that easy to set a police van on fire unless you go prepared intending to do so. Same with rocks and bottles, i don't remember seeing many of them just lying around last time i was in Bristol

Bet that won't be on the six o clock news

Its quite possible it did, Holland was a stronger suggestion with Rotterdam being implicated, but they weren't (and still aren't) actively searching for new mutations in any of these countries.

It used to be so much easier in the old days when you used to give the fine money to the coppers there on the spot and they would pay it into the court for you at least that was what they said they would do

I never knew the vaccine contained tea, now there's a thing. You learn something new every day

Suspected but never proved, they say the first identified case was in Chatham I believe

France is as well, probably other countries too

It is far more serious than you might imagine. France is one of the most indebted countries in the world. Their current debt level is 97% of GDP but their GDP is forecast to drop another 20%. AND they are just entering a bigger lockdown than than the previous two. Macron has been living off crdiit Can they survive that ? I cant see how. Smart investment money is already haemoraging out of Europe but there are at least another six or seven countries not far behind. Greece, Italy, Spain etc. All are technically bankrupt but the European Central Bank has (illegally) not called in their debts when they were required to. Funny that, cant be just an oversight? Practically all the rest of the EU countries, known as the minor states, live on handouts (sorry, that should be subsidies) as long as they toe the line and vote as they told when they are told. What are they going to do when the money runs out? Starve is a good prediction. Europe really does look doomed and we were so lucky to get out when we did but we are still far too close not to be affected really badly by the fall out when it does. Perverse as it may seem, given their attitude towards us, The best thing we can do is try to keep the EU afloat. Despite knowing that if the shoe was on the other foot they would happil pee on us as we went down.

Well it is at the moment but this is a virus that will mutate. What happens with version 2 or 3 of the vaccine ? That could be a discussion still to come.

We are rubbing the EU's noses in their own failings and they are not going to like having that done to them so very publicly. This vaccine is going to be a big global earner for years to come. We absolutely have to produce in in UK and export it as well. We would have to be blind not to see the opportunity

Its not about the recipients and the effect it has on them. Its about the virus, the more times it jumps from host to host the more likely we are to get mutations. Have you notice that a lot of remoaner types seem to be highly critical of the Government's handling of the pandemic. I am thinking particular about the perennial idiot James O'Brian on LBC. How he hasn't been sued for defamation I will never understand. I think the Government has done a great job all things considered. It was all uncharted waters, reacting to events beyond their control. Sure they got things wrong but calling them scumbags, crooks and liars? Rebelling against every directive, criticising the police at every turn for only doing their duty.

More like the Muppet Show Its hard to get things this wrong if you are trying to

She has really done it now global capital is leaving Europe and coming to Britain The eye-wateringly large monetary outflows from the eurozone may accelerate into outright flight AMBROSE EVANS-PRITCHARD18 March 2021 • 10:00am Ursula von der Leyen has invoked the nuclear option of the Lisbon Treaty. By threatening to activate emergency powers under Article 122 she has told the world that Europe is no longer a safe place for private capital or inward investment. The clause allows Brussels to seize factories, take direct control over the production process and redirect vaccine flows. It enables war-time occupation of companies. A regime that behaves like this is liable to impose capital controls without compunction, or block energy flows through the interconnectors, as has been threatened three times already (I keep count). And as we have seen, anything can be politicised, even random stochastic blood clots. Will global pharma ever build a plant again on EU territory after this episode? “We want to see reciprocity and proportionality in exports,” said Mrs Von der Leyen. Delicious. The EU is currently refusing to reciprocate temporary UK waivers to smooth post-Brexit trade flows or to reciprocate on bare-bond equivalence in financial services. If these daily antics from Brussels and Berlin continue, the eye-wateringly large capital outflows from the eurozone that have already been occurring may accelerate into something closer to outright capital flight. HSBC says outflows reached half a trillion euros in the fourth quarter, an annualised pace of 20pc of GDP. It quickened to €250bn (£214bn) in the single month of December. The scale is breathtaking. It happened before the vaccine debacle condemned Europe to an extra quarter of economic recession and social despair. “Relative to GDP, these outflows were the largest we have seen going back 20 years,” said Paul Mackel, HSBC's currency chief. Hedging contracts have prevented this setting off a disorderly slide in the euro but that does not change the fundamental picture.

I completely agree with you. I don't get the reason why we give aid to most of the countries that we do

Really? what country was that? You should have stayed there Because it certainly wasn't any country I know the original expression "its a free country" meant America. Which is itself ironic

no such thing as personal freedom, not in reality. We all have responsibilities
