You do understand that the currency of social media is simply views and engagement ? Most people don't seek out sensible reasoned content but end up consuming the stuff served to them by the algorithm. tiktok is probably the worst and probably the most popular with young people

Yes, I do understand how it works. And I agree about tiktok.(I don't use it as such). Maybe a mistake but I'm assuming most on here have enough intelligence & awareness to also understand how it works and so to use it accordingly.

That doesn't change or make anything I said in that post incorrect ....... (The leaders of official protests have been going to great lengths on social media to appeal for no violence and to condemn it. 'Social media' is getting such a bad wrap. Understandably so of course in many ways. However, it is also pretty much the only way to find out (as in hear, read and probably more importantly to literally see) what is really going on.

Just thought I would pop this on here. Previously men had to be 5ft 10 inches or over, under 30years old, weigh 12 stone or they would fail the medical. Females over 5ft 6inches etc. however, these rules were looked on has sizeist , ageist etc etc. and they were all dropped. Make of this what you will.

It’s a big deal deciding to be a copper, you lose most of your friends outside the force, you are generally disliked by everyone unless you need one, and probably falling recruits led to them allowing anyone in, even without a face to face interview, which it crazy

The posts with a political element (and those quoting them) have now been removed, at least most of them, I might have missed some as it's taken me half an hour already and I've got work to do.

The posters who seem to find it impossible to avoid raising political issues and making political comments have been given a week off this thread. If any decide to get round this by posting their political comments on other threads, will be given a week off all the threads.

Try and play nice people, thanks.

All the best people are left handed.
