Yep, like I said, there probably is something to be done and I wish my comrades the best in getting fair pay. But also swift caravans are probably hiring if they can't make a living form it.
"And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions" !!! And now likely multiple universes as well!! Galaxy Song (Monty Python) Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown And things seem hard or tough And people are stupid Obnoxious or daft And you feel that you've had Quite enough Just remember that you're standing On a planet that's evolving And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second So it's reckoned The sun that is the source of all our power The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see Are moving at a million miles a day In an outer spiral arm, at four hundred thousand miles an hour In the galaxy we call the Milky Way Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars It's a hundred thousand light years side to side It bulges in the middle, six thousand light years thick But out by us, it's just a thousand light years wide We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point We go 'round every two hundred million years And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding In all of the directions it can whizz As fast as it can go, of the speed of light, you know Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure How amazingly unlikely is your birth And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space 'Cause it's bugger all down here on Earth please log in to view this image

Stop the world I want to get off….why the **** are the police getting involved in this nonsense? If it’s not a crime, don’t get involved. How can they claim to be under resourced yet have time for this bollocks? Dirty pants on washing line recorded as non-crime hate incident by police ‘Soiled underpants’, hedge disputes and secondary school taunting are examples of 13,000 reports this year Tim Sigsworth 23 November 2024 3:00pm GMT Police recorded a soiled pair of underwear hung on a washing line as a non-crime hate incident (NCHI), it has emerged. In September 2021, a woman complained to North Wales Police that her neighbours had “hung a very large soiled pair of underpants on their washing line” for the past two months. The force recorded it as a hate incident because the complainant had an Italian surname and the underwear was first put on the washing line in July that year. That month, Italy defeated England on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the final of football’s European Championships. The incident, disclosed by North Wales Police under freedom of information laws, comes as police face increasing scrutiny for their handling of “hate” incidents. The incident summary reports: “Known offenders have hung a very large soiled pair of underpants on their washing line, they have been there for over two months. Advertisement “The IP [injured party] believes that [they] are aimed at her because she has an Italian surname and it is in regards to the football.” Some 13,000 NCHIs were recorded over a year up until this June. Other incidents recorded recently included a person who refused to shake hands in an alleged gender row and a “rough” haircut reported by a customer who claimed his barber was “aggressive” following a discussion about the war in Ukraine. Further “ridiculous” claims included a German woman being offended at being compared to a rottweiler and a neighbour who deemed it homophobic to be referred to as “Leonard” in a hedge dispute. Last week it emerged that children are among thousands of people being investigated by police for non-crime hate incidents. RECOMMENDED Policing 'hate speech' is just the latest method of enforcing Left-wing orthodoxy Read more Police forces recorded an incident against a nine-year-old who called a primary school classmate a “******” and another against two secondary school girls who said that another pupil smelt “like fish”. On Thursday, the head of the police standards body warned that the way police recorded non-crime incidents threatened to undermine public confidence in officers. Advertisement Lord Herbert, chairman of the College of Policing, said trust was being damaged by the perception that forces were getting involved in “mere disputes” at the expense of tackling crimes such as shoplifting and anti-social behaviour.

Meanwhile when they eventually answer the phone and you tell them of a crime in progress they have no available officers and will send someone as soon as they can. Days later they turn up and give you a crime number so you can claim on your insurance, and offer a meting with the victim support team to give you counselling. FFS.
'Threatened to undermine public confidence in officers', too late, way too late. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Just stand outside of a police station with a go pro or mobile phone, six or seven police officers will rapidly attend, and their first question will invariably be 'can I help you'? The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
