I am shocked to hear that the extreme right is seeking to infiltrate various arms of state power. How could this possibly happen?

It's amusing though that the tactics used to identify and neutralise Soviet Union and socialism-sympathising military personnel is now being used to do the same with the extreme right. Pity that as organisations the military and police are generally much more sympathetic to right-wing talking points though.

It says in the article that everyone knows he's far right but all the officers are racist so it's fine

So out of all the myriad places to which a person can owe a debt, why do petrol stations of all things get to summon the plod to deliver the news personally instead of just sending a firm letter like everybody else?

It's not a debt, it's theft by non payment for goods or services. The rozzer term for it is bilking, using goods or services and then leaving without paying for them.

It revolves around the legal concept of an 'open contract' which I can't be arsed to explain because I have to take the dog out for a walk before it gets hot.

In England and Wales there is a criminal offence called "making off without payment", which was invented specifically to catch things like petrol station driveoffs and running out of restaurants.

Part of the classic British identity is ironic detachment. If you're taking things seriously people will look at you askance. I think for many people Boris' hair hits that note of "ha ha, look at this legend sticking it to the fusty establishment. I don't know much about politics but if I say I support him nobody can mock me for getting too serious about things"

I've seen it plausibly argued that this element of the British character originates from boarding school culture - enforced separation from your parents at an early age and immersion in a houseful of your peers forces you to put up these emotional defences.

yeah it's probably the boarding school thing. brits are natural hypocrites which incidentally makes them good spies. john le carre said something once i liked about how a british man could be having a thermonuclear-scale emotional breakdown next to you at the bus stop and you would never know.

Stiff upper lip is an excellent national characteristic when you're being slammed by the Luftwaffe and have to carry on until we can get enough planes in the air to stop them, less so when there are major problems that changes in policy can actually address.

I've always said that 'Keep Calm and Carry On', in its modern incarnation and with all the hype about it, just means 'Eat poo poo and Like It'.

It's a horrible sentiment in a society of absolutely staggering inequality, injustice and iniquity

It's a good way of getting people to tolerate that their kids are on fire while the royals plot to run off to Canada, but really a better mental attitude would have been to use the bombing raids as a convenient cover to drag the cunts into the street and execute them.

They'll stop with that "sympathy" poo poo pretty drat soon after one of those infiltrators accidentally sends a armed nuke into London (because they'll all be dead).

his bail should have been set at about 20p.

To be fair, bail bonds are American thing - that's why we don't have bail bondsmen advertising all over the place. If they think you'll turn up in court then you go home for the low price of nothing. If they think there's a risk you won't, it's jail for you and money won't get you out of it (legally, anyway).

Keep calm and carry on but the Luftwaffe is airdropping the posters onto blitz-stricken London whilst secure in the knowledge that they've also destroyed the British airfields and plane factories.

In 1900 the Isle of Dogs had 70 for a population of about 20k (although that's somewhat skewed by the >50k dockers that would work there at peak times). It now has 12 for a population of 70k (excluding the 80k or so people who commute in to Canary Wharf).
