WTF is happening in the UK?
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Yes, yes, yes. Don't forget the very slim teenager might be feeling chilly too.
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Often the Daily Mail, along with other papers, exaggerates incidents for the purpose of increasing sales but there doesn't seem to be much exaggeration here. Fresh from watching statues being defaced or torn down and taking the knee, some of Stevenage's finest set about sorting out some really threatening old geezer and teaching him a lesson. The boys in blue must be in line for a Golden Dick Award surely? Setting a good example to the young PCSO who is watching, too.

That's the way I'd like them to sort out the young yobs who are out stabbing each other and anyone who questions their behaviour but I guess that would be against the youngsters' 'uman rights or summink. Innit?

After watching that video FD2, I must admit I have very little confidence in any testing for suitability for task that should be carried out prior to wearing a police uniform in Britain. That bloke with the Taser gun, even to the way he wears his cap, would be behaviour more in place in the Waffen SS.

BBC Headline this afternoon. "Pig kidney transplanted into brain-dead person".
Oh dear. I shall restrain myself. Hope that they combed his blond hair after the surgery.

Prospector that poor police person was clearly terrified by that brute on the ground.
I do think though the man was either drunk or stupid for resisting arrest.
At times we see police behaving like their fictional screen portrayals on TV and I guess they may also be taught this dominate the situation approach. OTOH we also seem many ordinary TV arrest scenes where they are simply handcuffed.
Are they simply scared?

Let's have a sweepstake on when Boris will do a U-turn and introduce Plan B. I'd say very soon...

Jacob Rees-Mogg apparently says the Health Secretary's guidance on wearing face masks in crowded indoor spaces doesn't apply to Conservative MPs because "we on this side know each other" and have a "convivial fraternal spirit."
He is completely stark raving bonkers.

Just like the US, there is no Covid risk in crowded political "photo ops" --- mask off.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Telegraph "AN A-level textbook has been withdrawn after it was found to contain an “inappropriate” question about Native Americans.
Hannah Wilkinson, who mentors history students at Durham Sixth Form Centre, tweeted an extract from the book in which students were asked “To what extent do you believe the treatment of Native Americans has been exaggerated?”"
Now why should that question be inappropriate? I think it a perfectly legitimate question though the wording could be improved. As posed it invites the student to agree that the appalling treatment was exaggerated. It should have said 'reports of the treatment'.
Perhaps A level students are afraid of taking a contrarian view and disagreeing with the proposition.

Yet another damning report on the Met. Why is that woman still allowed into the building?

At least Benny Hill was intentionally comic

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Don't be fooled by bumbling Boris - it is all designed to appeal to those soft-hearted Tories who love a 'little boy' (in the nicest possible taste, of course). Underneath, yes, under the truss, is a scheming narcissistic egotist.
Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.
