My old ma still tells me off for posting holiday pics….shes convinced pro burglars have been tracking me for 30 years
Things your mum used to say. Mine used to say ‘don’t go out in mucky underwear, in case you get run over’ ???
Hehe, they've been visible so often in autumn and winter the last few years, that it's got to the point that don't appreciate it so much anymore. Actually see the sun less than the northern lights these days... Endless rain.
Country is in a right ****ed up state .... and part of that is mis-leading click bait 'journalism'. " ...serving more than 12 years for stealing a mobile phone". Yeah, right.
You are right... It is misleading...16 previous convictions for theft. But other than inducing insanity, what purpose does this incarceration serve? A sentence of indefinite duration is a very cruel punishment for a prisoner but more importantly for his relatives.
Do sexual predators , *****philes, murderers, white collar crime perpetrators receive sentences of indefinite duration? True, death row prisoners in Japan do not get a date for their execution and Guantanamo Bay detainees are detained indefinitely without trial...is there justification for a similar murky process here?
I agree Ullofaman. And that's why they've been ended (except legacy cases, which is just plain daft). I was simply pointing out yet another ridiculous misleading piece of 'journalism' that some people swallow. It doesn't help anything. The article could easily have been written making the valid point against indefinite duration without the misleading BS. I bet my bottom dollar there is far more to this case, and it's plain daft to lead with 'man in prison for 12 years for stealing a mobile phone'. As agreed, "what a country", and the media aren't helping one bit.
Fantastic... apparently down town Hull is one of the locations in the UK with the oldest living people in the country. https://theconversation.com/the-dat...out-ig-nobel-winner-saul-justin-newman-239023
Just as a follow on to the above...I read somewhere that when the novel idea of an old age pension was first introduced in the UK as it was then, it was hailed as a magnificent social innovation by John Bull, Jock & Daffyd. Paddy, on the other hand, instantaneously aged by twenty years overnight
"For example, the best place to reach 105 in England is Tower Hamlets. It has more 105-year-olds than all of the rich places in England put together. It’s closely followed by downtown Manchester, Liverpool and Hull. Yet these places have the lowest frequency of 90-year-olds and are rated by the UK as the worst places to be an old person.". It does and it doesn't at the same time!!!
I think they are alluding to the fact that in a lot of places where there supposedly a lot of really old people Greece and Italy, it is because of fraudulent benefits claims going on. As so many of ours are in .Tower Hamlets that is quite believable. Of course no one in Hull would do that.
Lol, Weekend at Bernies-style down to the benefits office as a 'translator' with a sunglassed great grandma in a wheel chair?
