If its that **** precious, stick it in the British Museum. To be fair the statue shouldn't be out by himself if he's that concerned about his own safety Edited March 17, 2021 by Stevo985 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 #AllStatueLivesMatter It’s not just statues, I as a man who identifies as a man and am a man won’t go out either after dark either. It’s not just statues who are at risk. Maybe the statues shouldn’t be sculpted so suggestively. Only an idiot statue wears headphones at night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 17, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 17, 2021 Could clapping for the NHS have been designated as an action likely to cause great annoyance under this legislation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but the word removed that lives at the back of mine and regularly can't play the Bagpipes definitely does.

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted March 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2021 A nice example of a classic police tactic here . . . immediately after the protests the other night, they leaked to reporters that officers had suffered broken bones and one had suffered a punctured lung. This was of course complete bullshit, but they do this every time, briefing tame journalists who get the lie out there as fast as possible while the media interest is high, and then admitting the truth when everyone has stopped caring. The amount of people who 'know' completely incorrect facts about Jean Charles De Menezes (he jumped a barrier - LIE, he didn't pay for a ticket - LIE) because they did this immediately after shooting him in cold blood is staggering. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) I used to be a big supporter of the Police and while I’m sure there are a lot of good ones I’m starting to wonder if the bad outweigh them. I’ve never needed the police much in my whole life until recently and when I’ve needed WMP or my partner has needed them in the last 4 years they have been absolutely awful. Disinterested, unhelpful, rude and condescending. Edited March 25, 2021 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can believe what I am watching sadly. There has always been a decent proportion within the police more than happy to carry out the Tories dirty work. I am sure some of them can't wait until the legislation changes and you won't be able to say boo at a protest/demonstration with out being arrested or smashed in the face by a Police officer. In fact some of them haven't waited. Edited March 27, 2021 by markavfc40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted March 27, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 27, 2021 And then, on the back of overly aggressive policing of demonstrations against increased police power to prevent demonstration we have a right wing press who headline it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-56548750 Quote Kill the Bill: Violent protest 'disgraceful', says prime minister Followed by a story that backs that narrative up completely, with testimony from people as diverse as Boris Johnson and erm...Priti Patel, and Joe Daily Mail goes about his business thinking about the nasty violent mob endangering the lives of our boys on the thin blue line. I can't remember the country being this far split before in my lifetime. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 He was right. Patel and Johnson have given the Police their full support this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) One of those who have answered the calling to protect us haven't done themselves any favours here by assaulting a journalist from the Daily Mirror.
