    I remember during the poll tax (protest) riots BT......was in the south-east, at a regular drinkery when friend of mine recognised a copper with a few others, he asked him "how, being it was a busy day for them, they weren't on duty" - reply was, "we've called in sick...because if we were there, it'd be alongside the people, not against them....."

    I've known a lot of police in my time, I often worked with them, at fires and RTAs, we used to put ladders up for them if they had to get on rooftops, they used to ring us and ask us to get suicides hanging from bridges and trees down for them, or to get bodies out of burnt out cars for them, I've had three as neighbours, I used the bar at the police station in Burnley as a drinking club for a while, there were one or two needed watching but mostly they were sound and I had no problem with them, a couple were good friends.

    But something's changed, I don't recognise some of the bags of **** I see walking around these days as police officers, the robocops at football matches are dangerous, I won't go near them, their culture is different, they're PC obsessed, I don't feel they have the slightest interest in me or my welfare. I always thought that if I saw one getting a kicking I'd wade in to help, I wouldn't now, I'd walk by on the other side of the road, I don't feel they're interested in my problems anymore so I'm not interested in theirs.

    And if they've lost someone like me, who has been so close to them in the past, I think they must have lost most of the country as well.

    With your experience, that disturbing conclusion, is even more poignant - Sinkov, there's many out there that could do with reading and thinking on it....though doubt it'd make much difference, if they act like they are without conscience or question, then really....we're dealing with unbalanced mental cases living an impaired relationship with reality.
    Was during the early 80's that the home office considered recruiting psycopaths to maintain order in the event of a nuke attack - makes you wonder ?

    The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR),

    Both rights and obligations
    All States have ratified at least 1 of the 9 core human rights treaties, as well as 1 of the 9 optional protocols. 80% of States have ratified 4 or more. This means that States have obligations and duties under international law to respect, protect and fulfill human rights.

    The obligation to respect means that States must refrain from interfering with or curtailing the enjoyment of human rights.
    The obligation to protect requires States to protect individuals and groups against human rights abuses.
    The obligation to fulfill means that States must take positive action to facilitate the enjoyment of basic human rights.
    Meanwhile, as individuals, while we are entitled to our human rights - but, we should also respect and stand up for the human rights of others.

    Article 10 protects your right to hold your own opinions and to express them freely without government interference. This includes the right to express your views aloud (for example through public protest and demonstrations) or through: published articles, books or leaflets. television or radio broadcasting.

    Article 11 protects your right to protest by holding meetings and demonstrations with other people
    You also have the right to form and be part of a trade union, a political party or any another association or voluntary group. Nobody has the right to force you to join a protest, trade union, political party or another association.

    Watched PMQs today, it was like I'd fallen down the Rabbit Hole with Alice. First of all Starmer wanted to know what Boris was going to do about Debenhams and Arcadia, and the thousands losing their jobs and their pension rights, he seemed to have forgotten that these job losses were, in the main, caused by the economic devastation of the Lockdowns, and the day before he was saying they clearly worked and he was fully supportive of them. It was like watching someone dive into the sea for a swim, and then complaining he was wet when he got out.

    Boris's reply was just as bizarre, he told Starmer he had no right to moan about job losses because he hadn't voted for the Tier system, but this is a system that's designed to close down the hospitality sector and throw thousands more out of work. By this time I'd heard enough, I switched it off and made myself a cup of tea.

    Have a google sinkov on the latest comments from Baroness Hale, former top gun in the Supreme Court.

    She is "bewildered" at the speed and absurdity of the COVID laws that are whizzing out of Downing Street.

    It seems 95% of them are unenforceable too!

    Aren't we all love "bewildered" love, aren't we all.

    I'm just as bewildered as Spider Woman BT. In October I could watch Clitheroe playing football and go to the Higher Buck in Waddington for a meal out, then we had a four week Lockdown, Circuit Breaker, Firebreak, call it what you will. Just bear with it we were told, this lockdown we were were told, would bring the virus under control, in fact Starmer had been saying that two weeks would have been enough, but no we got four weeks instead, and at the end of it, instead of any benefit for being under house arrest for four weeks, I am now not allowed to watch Clitheroe play football, and the Higher Buck is forced to remain closed.

    So four weeks house arrest to make the situation worse and the good lady Baroness is confused, she's not the only one.

    I think the title of the thread summarises this fu**ing nonsense up perfectly don't you?
