  1. Yawn. Why would I use fake accounts if I'm happy to call you a boring, arl racist on this account?
  2. You've clearly interpreted the stats to suit your own argument. If there's an "appetite" for something surely those who wanted something would be of a higher percentage in the polls than the combined totals of those who don't want something AND those who are apparently indifferent? Which is not the case.
  3. So, as I said, more people don't want a second referendum/aren't arsed, than those who do want a second referendum.
  4. Good leadership from Corbyn. The party needs to be united and any suggestion of a second referendum, when it's not official party policy, could lead to the less politically savvy members of the electorate voting for another party than Labour. It's sad but true, but there's no real appetite for a second referendum. Just look at the laughable Libs. They're floating several half brained ideas along such lines and they're still doing woefully in the polls.
  5. I think the main woman in Not Going Out is quite tidy. She's got short hair now and I think it actually makes her a bit hotter.
  6. The front cover on today's Daily Mail is straying into mega meltdown/flounce territory. Bless!

  8. For such a simplistic concept, being a film with about 3 or 4 different filming scenes/locations, it's a brilliant film. The one about the Nazi war trials, the name of which escapes me, is a good watch too.
  9. Our ex-reserve keeper, Peter Gulasci, is being linked to Chelsea and Atletico Madrid.
  10. Yes, the President of the United States is really tweeting about how he'd beat Joe Biden in a fight! Amazing scenes!
  11. Police taking days to respond to 999 calls as budget cuts bite Watchdog says fact that funding has fallen by a fifth since 2010 has put forces under stress Jamie Grierson @JamieGrierson Thu 22 Mar 2018 00.01 GMT Under-pressure police forces are taking days to respond to 999 calls that should be dealt with in an hour, the policing watchdog has said, as they come under “significant stress” from slashed budgets and increased demand. Almost a quarter of forces in England and Wales are struggling to deal with emergency calls in a timely way, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) has said in a report on police effectiveness. West Midlands, Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire were singled out as having the worst record on delays in dealing with 999 calls. In some cases, crimes that require a “prompt” response – that is, police attending within an hour of the call – are not dealt with for days. In Cambridgeshire, for example, the average “prompt” response time was 15 hours. This could include cases of serious assault, including sexual violence, inspectors said. The inspectorate put the delays down to a lack of police officers available to attend the emergencies, ruling out a problem with the call handlers. Labour said the findings showed that cuts to police budgets had left the service at breaking point, while the minister for policing pointed out inspectors found most forces to be effective at keeping people safe. Britain's police budgets to lose £700m by 2020, amid rising crime Read more Zoë Billingham, Her Majesty’s Inspector of Constabulary, who led the inspection, said she had “major concerns that policing is under significant stress”. She said: “On occasions, that stress stretches some forces to such an extent that they risk being unable to keep people safe in some very important areas of policing.” “About a quarter of forces are all too often overwhelmed by the demand they face, resulting in worrying backlogs of emergency jobs, with officers not attending incidents promptly, including those involving vulnerable people.” Police budgets have fallen by around a fifth since 2010 and HMICFRS recently said forces will have £700m less a year to fight crime in the coming years, as well as fewer officers. Earlier this week, Theresa May was officially rebuked by the UK Statistics Authority for misleading MPs and the public over false claims that the government was providing an extra £450m in funding to local police forces in 2018/19. Guardian Today: the headlines, the analysis, the debate - sent direct to you Read more Louise Haigh, the shadow policing and crime minister, said: “We’ve had all the Tory spin on police funding, but this week we are finally getting to the truth. “First the stats watchdog raps the prime minister for misleading claims and now the independent inspector is sounding the alarm – warning that some forces are so stretched that the lives of vulnerable people are being put at risk. “It’s time the Tories owned up to the public because their cuts have left our police at breaking point and our communities at risk.” As well as struggling to respond to emergency calls, HMICFRS found police officers were not seizing opportunities to look for evidence in the initial stages of the investigation. In too many cases, so-called “golden hour” responsibilities were not being carried out, the watchdog said. House-to-house enquires, identifying witnesses and use of body-worn cameras were being overlooked. In addition, a review of 2,700 crime case files revealed more than 50% of opportunities to identify an offender were missed and on a quarter of occasions house-to-house enquiries in search of witnesses were not made. The watchdog also found police forces with high workloads and “poor supervision” are yet to risk assess 3,300 registered sex offenders, an 18% increase on last year. As of July last year, there were 60,061 “wanted records” on the police national computer – including 374 relating to homicide and 1,135 to rape, the report said. And it highlighted the ongoing “national crisis” in the shortage of detectives. There is currently a shortfall of 5,000 investigators across England and Wales, meaning one in five detective desks are empty, the report said. The report added: “HMICFRS is concerned by this finding, because it shows that the system is under severe strain and in some forces the cracks are showing.” Overall one force was rated “outstanding”, 30 were “good” and 12 judged to “require improvement”. Nick Hurd, the minister for policing and the fire service, said: “The government recognises that crime is changing and demand increasing, which is why we have provided a strong and comprehensive settlement that will increase funding by up to £450m across the police system for 2018/19, including £270m drawn from increased precept contributions. “The government has given police new powers to protect vulnerable people, including domestic violence protection orders and new offences under the Modern Slavery Act, and progress has been made in this area. But it is clear the police response can be inconsistent and requires improvement. “Forces and police and crime commissioners must go further and act on HMICFRS’s recommendations, because they play a crucial role in responding to crimes, such as domestic abuse, as more people grow in confidence and report them.”
  12. I have. Great film. Might give that a re-watch. And Point Break. Dog Day Afternoon and Network too, of the slightly older films.
  13. Serpico. Cops. Corruption. Al Pacino as a hippy with a kick-ass beard. A slow burner. Good, but not the classic that I'd seen it billed as. 7.2/10 I'm getting a feeling for older films now. Built on solid acting and script writing, rather than special effects etc. Any recommendations? I'm thinking Citizen Kane next.
  14. Mourinho's right, your fans are shite... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43484557?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_match_of_the_day&ns_source=facebook&ns_linkname=sport
  15. It was the one Byrnie just mentioned. No countdown, but all the lights off followed by a shit dance tune. https://youtu.be/2Y5VWDYxTTQ
  16. So, are you saying that when somebody makes a comment or video to a select, tailored audience, then it's a bit out of order if that content gets shared outside that audience and platform and that person then gets into trouble? Hahahahaha.
  17. His Twatter bio reads: "Professional Shitposter. Going to jail for a joke. Anti-PC. Anti-SNP. Pro Free Speech. Edgi Boi. Scottish Nationalist. I'm not a Nazi, but my dog is." He also has loads of shite tattoos and piercings, including one of those shite big holes in the ear. Sounds like a life sentence is justified. Or a hall of fame place in the instant cunt identifiers thread.
  18. Didn't the daft fuckers once have a countdown from 10 to 1 with all the lights of at the Etihad to try and generate an atmosphere once before a Manc derby? I'm pretty sure it was them.
  19. School in Maryland on lockdown after reports of a shooting.
  20. Got some Morrisons ones at the minute. Just standard, but decent.
  21. Oh, Vince.....*chortles @vincecable Meet @RoyalMail over plans for closure of #Hampton Sorting Office. Lot of hostility from residents-1800 sign petition-and workers in @CWUnews . Royal Mail once delivered letters and a few parcels; now, thanks to email and Internet, it delivers parcels and a few letters.
  22. Damn right Tony. These little bastards are amazing.
