    Another stabbing

    Not just around stop and search. Watch any police 'fly on the wall' type show and from something as little as a traffic stop people are out their houses and kicking off at the police. When I was a kid people would be concerned if the police were questioning you about something, especially if...

    Another stabbing

    I don't know how you solve this problem, its so sad and worrying. We've reached a point where far too many kids are wandering around with knives even if only on the basis of "everyone else has one, I need one for protection". We don't have anywhere near the resources to stop and search a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm no fan of Starmer and quite happy to blame him for his fucks ups but its just factually incorrect to say he is the person behind the introduction of CAWNs or that they are for rapists.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Looked into this a bit more. CAWNs were introduced by the Conservatives in the Child Abduction Act 1984, then called harbourers warnings. An attempt to make breaking a CAWN an arrestable offence was rejected in 2015 as Conservative MPs voted against it.

    If I Had Legs I'd Kick You - brilliant and Rose Bryne deserves all the awards. Although whoever decided to class it as a comedy drama probably needs checking up on, it was pretty intense stuff. Its about a therapist with a sick daughter and a husband who is never around as he works on a ship...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    He'd have to be a bloody good shot seeing as Trump was in Washington at the time. Surely can't be that hard to look up the Presidents schedule if you were going to make an assassination attempt.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Unless I've missed a change in the law to say child rape is not a criminal offence I'm not really seeing how CAWNs are being issued to rapists. If they are its a complete misuse and not in line with procedure so you'd expect whoever authorised it to be suspended and investigated ASAP.

    Immigration and Asylum

    Until a couple of years ago it wasn't legal to bet on ice hockey in North America, and presumably other sports. Across the board players report huge amounts of abuse, including racism and even death threats, since betting has been introduced.

    Immigration and Asylum

    I tried searching the thread for 'doctors' to see who on the forum has made that argument and all that comes up is people claiming doctors and nurses is always the argument or people saying nobody has made that argument or asking who did 🤷‍♂️

    The figures for PIP fraud are quoted as being so low it is classed at zero. Dig a bit deeper and you find a figure of 0.4% for overpayments. 0.1% of that is DWP errors the vast majority of the rest is down to claimants not reporting a change in circumstances before their review date. Fraud...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Telling in what way? PIP is not diagnosis based, its based on need and meeting the criteria. You or I could call the doctor today, have a 5 minute appointment and walk out with medication for stress, anxiety or depression without a formal diagnosis or ongoing treatment plan. The bar for that is...

    Having said I was going to watch Small Prophets weekly I got through the whole thing in one sitting at the weekend. Absolutely loved it. Thank fuck they didn't use CGI. Looks like series 2 has been confirmed, no idea where they're going to go with the story but can't wait to find out.
