They always are in this type of situation, as they have primacy until such time as they decide it is NOT terrorism, when they hand it back to local plod. Similar to deaths in the workplace (etc.), where the police will first establish whether there is any criminal basis, and if there isn't...

He is guilty (at least on the face of the video evidence) of assault at least. It could be regarded as violent conduct, grievious bodily harm with intent, or even, as shmee said, attempted murder. If that lad had a bleed on the brain and died (which may happen some time in the future), it would...

To be fair to him (and i generally think he's a knob), it was him who commissioned the independent inquiry into GMP.

GMP are on a par with the Met on that score, apparently, and have been the subject of a fairly recent (i.e. LAST WEEK) independent review by a top barrister into the treatment of women by their officers.

I'm actually quite surprised by the consensus of opinion on here. The police are bound by the same laws that we all are: if a reasonable person would view the response as disproportionate, he has committed an offence. It could be argued that the high levels of training that the police undergo...

Exclamation marks included.

Wonder how much of that is a sampling exercise though? There must be a huge admin load to check all of them, so why not make the pharmacist verify your PP cert?

It's clearly an inducement to sell more STs, but with more and more "school night" matches, buying an ST for your kid/s makes less and less sense, as they will have to miss those matches. If they have to attach a nominal fee to JSB membership (e.g. to cover the cost of the gifts, etc), so be it...

That's all they ask me. I wonder what would happen ? is there some kind of back-office cross-check that will catch you out?

So why do they never want to see my pre-payment certificate when i collect a prescription? I just have to say "yes i have one". It would be easy enough for them to ask to see it. That is the biggest fraud opportunity!

I was collecting a prescription from a local pharmacy recently, and had to wait for it to be dispensed. The number of people the pharmacist told "the NHS really doesn't work very well for that" was shocking ... given it is supposed to! I'm slightly surprised to learn that it was developed by the...

For me, this is on a par with "the cat from next door but one". I thought the thread were for people who were famous, or at least noteworthy (City fans in sad circumstances, etc)

Maybe the owners should be microchipped instead!

You used to have to have a licence to keep a dog in Britain, but it was stopped in 1987, other than for dangerous breeds. You have to have them microchipped, but that doesn't help with people who don't have a clue how to train them properly.

I see Kerry Katona has thrown her weight behind Trump's campaign. That's that settled, then!

Just happy as long as they can carry an assault rifle around with them, i guess!

Yeah, you're probably right. PA and MI will probably decide it - and there are significant black populations in the major cities in both of those states (e.g. Detroit and Philly) who might see that someone they can associate more closely with could be someone they might be more likely to vote for.

I don't think he's got the same level of ammunition against Harris as there was against Clinton. But while you also say that Clinton's defeat in 2016 was more about her, i am still not sure certain parts of the US would contemplate voting in a black woman.

I saw this too, and it makes me wonder what people DO to their dogs to make them attack you? Is it indicative of the nature of some of the people who live on estates like Wood End? The other thing that boils my piss about this incident is why TWO air ambulances were sent to the scene, as well as...

Are you a smoker?
