There was a Supreme Court ruling back in September that basically allows racial profiling. To all intents and purposes 'not looking right' is now the only grounds they need to grab you off the street.

technically yes, in reality no. They don't pay us for an hour in the middle of the day :ROFLMAO: All that would happen is you'd have an hours more work to do at the end of the day. One guy who started here finished on time every day and got dragged into a meeting to be given a bollocking for...

This is the heart of the problem for me. We've had, what, 45 years of neoliberalism. Its run its course but nobody has a clue what comes next. So the likes of Reform, Greens and other minority parties gain popularity because they're the only ones offering an alternative. The question then...

Struggling to see how there can be any claim the ICE agent believed he was in danger or being driven at. See worse driving and nearer misses on my commute every day! Not that the investigation will be anything other than a whitewash from the comments and actions we've seen already. One thing...

There was no snow on my road this morning but no sign of kids going to school so I'm assuming it was closed Dundee supposed to be coming down to play Blaze tonight, wonder if they'll make it

They've been heavily recruiting and it seems the new recruits get only the most basic of training. If you look at the recruitment ads that have been running they alone would give you cause for concern about the type of person they will be attracting.

"that guy is protected by absolute immunity" - JD Vance today

Its staggering that there's people who will not only make excuses for what happened they will try and twist the narrative to the point they claim she deserved it.

Trump has said he's recovering in hospital, Minneapolis Police chief has stated Good was the only person injured. Who to believe???

Vance has doubled down on what Trump has said, there really is no words. Been saying it for a while but it feels like a ticking time bomb in America with how many guns there are in the country. Probably wants a civil war. Saw he's been speaking with a lawyer who has been looking at ways to...

It's a get in early, don't take a break, finish late kinda place.

Think Warwickshire have fucked up partnering with the Birmingham City owners rather than an IPL franchise. As much as I'm against handing the domestic game to the IPL franchise owners I'm not sure a bunch of yanks is the better option. Surely with the demographic make up of Birmingham...

I used to work permanently from home, which was probably a bit much but my office was 3-4 hours away. Big mistake moving to permanently in the office. You don't realise how much life admin you get done in your lunch hour at home (don't get a lunch break at all in the office) and how much...

General consensus around the Hundred has been that the branding is terrible. From team names, to team colours & logos is looks like something knocked up quickly for a GCSE art project. With the teams now being sold off many clubs are embracing the opportunity to rebrand, some going all out and...

Did some work with Relate years ago around child counselling (nothing on the actual counselling side you'll all be pleased to know, tech stuff) and they said the same. What we hear about is the tip of the iceburg. There was a change in the law around that time which they said made it far harder...

All week I've been dealing with people who have decided to work from home because of non-existent snow. I do a job that can 100% be done from home but even if there's 6ft of snow overnight we'll be expected in the office tomorrow.

Its all one big piss up isn't it

This is the difference. I've had conversations with people in countries that are considered high tax and while everyone in the world would like to pay less tax there's a general feeling that things work so they don't mind paying. As one person said to me 'we need a school it gets built, we need...

As has been said many times it depends where the money is going. For example if you've got an NHS department with 50 staff, make half redundant but then replace half of those with contract staff you're probably paying out more overall but you will have shrunk the service. The problem with the...

For things like muscle injuries caused by fatigue they have the data these days to know when players shouldn't be playing, or in our case when we have to play them due to lack of squad depth but are risking injury. Remember a few years back one of the England cricket physios talking about an...
