How many times do we have to explain the same thing. Actual media outlets, as opposed to randoms on social media, don’t report things as fact if all they’ve got to go on is what someone has posted on twitter.

That Green Party councillor that seems to be taking on the rioters on his own is a braver person than me

Not licensed for use in the UK, think it was last considered when May was Home Secretary and she quickly squashed it. If you recall Johnson purchased some for the met after the Tottenham riots and they had to be sold for scrap at a huge loss as they were not authorised for use in this country.

well yes, that's what tends to happen with riots. when do you remember a riot occurring and thousand of police were sent in within hours of it happening. even with things like Tottenham, which went on for days, by the time the army had been mobilised things had mostly run their course.

we do, police funding is part of council tax. I'm sure if the council said that the cost was doubling or more due to the cuts in funding from central government 'the community' would be far from happy

Don't think anyone has suggested turning a blind eye. The police know they're under resourced and fucked in a situation like this. They will have a plan which I would imagine involves using their limited resources to try and stop trouble spreading to other parts of the city

Surely stationary traffic is less likely to cause accidents than the quality of driving you normally see on the m25

Not sure about the 'if it was football fans' stuff. Football games are scheduled so that police from all around the area can be present in numbers, especially if games are classed as 'risk'. This is mainly covered by working overtime and the bill is footed by the home club. The reality is that...

all week I've been hearing the prisons are at literal breaking point, and today its even being suggested that they're so fucked it was the reason for the election to be called unexpectedly but we've got room to put people protesting against lack of action against climate change inside for years.

107 - 5, going to be tough from here. Hate to say it but they've gone to shit since Ali came back, and not for the first time. Just seems to mess with the balance of the side or something. I mean it should be a no brainer that they improve when you bring a player like him in but that rarely...

where do I find one of these flats?

Might be upgrading the door entry system over the summer or something similar

I find it weird with this sort of thing where there's a huge search operation and then weeks later its 'oh we've found the body right by where he was last known to be', where were you looking?

The one that said Man City offered him £800K a week but he said no as he will never play for another team in sky blue

Offered to buy him a house in Glasgow, its just gets better and better If this is the best O'Hare can manage and Hamer is still there at the deadline they both need to be looking for new agents

this is the most bonkers thing I've read on here and that's saying something. What legacy??? Forget George & John, lets get working on the o'Hare statue at least try and make the bullshit believable. No-one is buying that he's turned down being the top earner in the MLS and also turned down a...

Nah absolutely true. Why would he want to move to Cali, Florida or NY for 100K a week when he can move to Sheffield for £25K a week Expect his little circle will be windmilling now because they all bigged up Premier League and top end European clubs and he's ended up still in the Championship

Well he wasn't starting last season and we've strengthened since then so he was unlikely to be the first name on the team sheet to put it lightly. Not too fussed tbh. would I have been happy if he'd stayed? sure I would but this isn't Hamer or Vik leaving and we did ok without them. If I was...

If Sheff Utd are throwing millions in signing on fees for a player they appear to have no competition to sign they've dumber than we all thought
