https://twitter.com/stephenkb/status/1184163734874476544?s=20 As a Scot I've got to say that politicians who don't understand what's devolved or not (or do but confuse/lie to voters by acting like they don't) is a big pet peeve. So of course the Lib Dem London mayoral candidate is doing that poo poo

PCCs can decriminalize things at the county level if they want, decriminalization (in a drugs context) is just telling police to not bother arresting people for it unless they're causing other problems. Derby, County Durham and some other county I can't recall already did it for cannabis.

Even if it doesn't start out at one I feel like the "hello yes police please join our protest group" is a good way to turn it into one.

Had some lovely mac and cheese while watching Brass Eye this evening. Forgot how stupidly funny and well written it is. I especially love the episode on drugs and how it bamboozled Tory MP Martin Amess.

Not UKPol really but something readers of this thread might be interested in: https://play.acast.com/s/adambuxton/79505551-ee06-4818-af4b-80b132a35e1d New Adam Buxton podcast with Chris Morris talking about the background of his new film. It's loving wild, based on true stories. Basically the FBI go around talking to guys/groups of guys and trying to agitate them to plan terrorist acts by offering them large sums of money, then goading them into committing crimes and sending them to prison for 10s of years, including a case where there are recordings of them saying "Hey I found this guy and he's mentally ill and also poor, we'll be able to offer him $50 and get him to do anything!", somebody else then said "Hmm, should we be targetting this guy?" and they said "Yes.". Utterly mental. E: Lol, made this post before seeing VG's post about Brass Eye just above^

OwlFancier posted:Almost like they need to justify their counterterrorism budget. Yup. quote:After I saw a screening of The Day Shall Come, Morris sent me links to his research materials. As you’d expect from nearly a decade’s work, it was exhaustive: as the fifth email arrived, he joked that I must feel like I’d put a pickaxe through a gas main. The film’s most obvious reference point is the “Liberty City Seven”, a group of black Catholics who were arrested in 2006 for planning to “blow up” the Sears Tower in Chicago, and to wage what the then attorney general Alberto Gonzalez called “a full ground war on the United States”. That planned “ground war” in full: the men intended to ride into Chicago on horses and somehow collapse the tower into the river, drowning the city in the ensuing tidal wave. Except they didn’t have any explosives. They didn’t even have any horses. So yeah, FBI goes to this group of guys who were part of a (weird) religious group - but they had no aspirations to be terrorists. FBI claimed to be representing somebody from Al Qaeda in Yemen trying to destabilise America, and offered them $50k to come up with something against America/the government and at first they came up with "We'll take a protest to the mayor's office". FBI says "No that's not gonna cut it, you have to do something bigger" so they came up with an idea to somehow destroy the Sears Tower in Chicago but with no actual plans or resources to do so, and then they were arrested. Two of the guys were acquitted and the other 5 got jail terms from 5 to 13 years. quote:At the press conference, the Attorney-General and the Deputy Director took questions from reporters:
