Field's been separately nominated as a cross bencher & seems he would've gotten in whether Watson was ever on the list or not. it's a shite system and totally opaque, but not quite that bad fingers crossed he's one of the many Lords who never turns up for any vote or other parliamentary business.

Remember the two cops that pushed over a 75 year-old and left him bleeding out on the floor from a head wound? The entire rest of the squad has resigned from the team in protest at their suspension, saying they were just doing their job. Sadly, they haven't quit being policemen. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52945190 Prince John fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Jun 5, 2020 |

Apparently the NYPD is having about 6 people resign per day on average, so if they can keep this up we might get police abolition by default.

I swear half this thread is "I spend £14 a week on food and get by" and the other half is on some Prince-Andrew-quail-egg-and-smoked-epicure business and there's zero in-between that's an excellent breakfast.

Yeah, this is starting to do the rounds in the more radical spaces I spectate on. People are THIS loving CLOSE to realising that if we all stop obeying the system at the same time it will break down for good. In particular, most cities in the US have had literally every cop on duty with no breaks for a week now. There are VASTLY more people than there are cops, all it takes is working in shifts to keep up the pressure and the cops will crack first. They can't not. Also BLM have painted Black Lives Matter in like... 40 foot yellow letters down 16th street NW which leads directly to the white house. Which is cool as all gently caress.

I mean I'd eat that breakfast, there'd just be a lot of peas*, egg white** and ham*** left on the plate when I was done. *I had a traumatic experience with peas about 40 years ago when I was at school. I will never eat peas. My backside was not involved. ** Egg white is a packing material whose sole use is to protect the yolk, which is the actual food part of the egg. It is nature's styrofoam peanut and I don't know why anyone eats it. *** It just looks gross.

The trick with egg white is you want a nice little bit of crisp on the bottom. I agree it's kind of horrible if underdone and tastes weird on its own but a little crunch on the bottom and eaten with other things, very nice.

Meanwhile you can have a sizable percentage of protestors at home every day, for their wellbeing or because they're recovering from an rear end-kicking or because they have personal stuff to attend to or whatever. So what if 30% of them stay home on a given day? 70% of several hundred thousand people still means all those cops have to be out all day every day, full gear, everone hates them, no time to rest, no days off, lmao get owned e; Egg white is the good part of the egg you absolute heathens Ms Adequate fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Jun 6, 2020 |

The worst part is he's in charge of deciding whether complaints against cops are valid, and he said he "would not have been able" to show the same restraint they did. So it's extra funny he got brutality'd himself. Ms Adequate posted:And they only just ended days off and stuff a couple of days ago, that number's gonna skyrocket when they've all done a couple of 84 hours weeks being screamed at the whole time for being fash cunts.

Yeah I can understand BLM getting angry if it's coming from a Mayor that refuses policy changes, but I think in and of itself it's a Good Thing. It's done in road paint too (the 'needs burning off' variety) so I'd imagine it will be there a while and might never disappear fully even if they tried to remove it. Also interesting, the NFL have said they were "wrong" for not supporting player's peaceful protest. Although they've stopped short of saying players will now be allowed to take a knee during the anthem. https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1269034074552721408

Tarnop posted:36,000 cops in the NYPD. It's an army Sure, but keep in mind that covers a huge array of both precincts and specialities. I have no idea what their typical rate of cops leaving is so this could be well within their ability to handle, but Covid had already cancelled the next class at the academy so that throws a wrench in it for them. But moreover, you can't just grab a rando from Transit and stick them into a detective role or something. Attrition is likely to start having an effect well before its actual numbers suggest it should if this can be accelerated and kept up for awhile, to say nothing of the massive problems with morale that it implies, and which are going to grow at an exponential rate if protests can be sustained.

This is a better reply than my flippant post deserved. I do hope that protests can start to have meaningful effects on the morale of police, and get some serious internal heat applied to the higher-ups who've made this "oops all tear-gas" decision on how to handle things in lockstep.

I personally protest with you, but I am totally fine with the league and racist owners blackballing Kaepernick. Not to mention safety Eric Reid who protested with Kapernick and was unsigned until Carolina Panthers signed him for 11 games out of desperation. And even then the NFL felt it had to drug test him 7 times.

Incredible bunch of fussy eaters outing themselves itt. I'm middle class as hell and I'd wolf down that whole meal. I wouldn't call it a breakfast though. It's like you all never went to boarding school Or had a mentally ill mum who never remembered to cook for you Or starved for two weeks due to said mum mistaking a severe bout of colitis for gastroenteritis and telling you it'd get better if you fasted for a bit and then you weren't allowed to eat solid food in the hospital for three weeks either Man I guess my childhood was kinda hosed up huh BUT AT LEAST I HAVE THE SENSE TO EAT WHAT'S IN FRONT OF ME AND BE GRATEFUL  Unless it's mushrooms. gently caress mushrooms

How the gently caress do you even fry eggs and not get even a little bit of colour around the edges? Vitamin P can jump in and call me a bougie for this but "actually waiting for your frying pan to heat up" doesn't cost a thing I've been waiting for gall bladder surgery for almost a year and I'm all the way mad at people who can eat eggs doing so poorly.
