even then they've got it the wrong way round, while there isn't a sectarian divide for Liverpool clubs like in Glasgow, if you're going to assign a club as the "Catholic" one it's Everton not LFC

yeah it's a gimmick, what happened was the show started off with her being a generic host, chatting to the contestants, "you did very well and we're sorry to say goodbye" when someone got voted off, all that stuff

then one show the entire team was awful and she had to say things like "well you weren't very good, were you" because she didn't have anything nice to say, and the producers loved it and told her to take it up to 110% all the time

It's mad that they let it cross into such highly sensitive personal issues though. Berate them for their quiz performance or go for the standard stand up comic insults (you are bald, you have a boring job etc) but what they encouraged her to say was just cruel most of the time.

Some of this comes from an insistence that that the people of Wavertree must be fundamentally racist to the bone, and not that they personally disliked Luciana Berger, a southern parachute candidate that was foisted upon them, then spent years campaigning against their very leftwing beliefs, while ostensibly representing them. Source - I lived in Wavertree for many years and have family there - people did not say nice things about Luciana Berger in the pub, though they never brought up her ethnicity.

oh yeah absolutely there were lines that got crossed, I just don't think it's entirely fair to say "well she's a terrible person, look what she said" when she was getting told how to act and what to say by the producers the whole time

this just makes it sound like you've never been arrested tbh

Don't talk to the police no matter what inane nonsense they babble at you

No, I've never been arrested.

I have, on the other hand, sat next to people and watched the interviewing officer get into all kinds of tongue-tied messes because they were expecting a quick no comment job, maybe a prepared statement, and didn't actually know how to handle someone who had been advised to answer questions, followed by a hasty and rather embarrassed NFA decision. It's an absolute gas, I'd recommend it to anyone, the Appropriate Adults services are regularly looking for good people to learn PACE and sit in on police interviews. You'll get your expenses paid and get a chance to see the (cough) system as it actually (hack) functions. Looks great on a CV, too.

I've also sat with people who don't talk to police, and watched them refuse to say anything when the evidence against them was pretty ropey, but it was still evidence that pointed to their guilt; and absent any comment from them, there was some evidence to say they did it, and no evidence to say they didn't. They all get charged.

quote:

RIPA and phones

The way this works in practice is, getting the actual authority to demand even a conventional password is a huge pain in the arse and usually takes in the order of months after interview, if not years. By which time many people have unfortunately forgotten their passcodes, after all, don't we all change our passcodes regularly and make sure we use secure strings? Of course we do. Sometimes they'll still come for you, but you've a decent chance of getting it thrown out as an abuse of process, if the first you hear of it is the formal request 8 months after you were at the station.

When you want to be slightly concerned is if they give you an advisory notice in interview saying something like "I intend to come back with a formal authority for you to disclose this data, so please write it down now, while you remember it, to prevent any unfortunate lapses of memory". Sometimes it's just a scare tactic and they'll let it go if that doesn't convince you to give up the password there and then; sometimes they'll genuinely come back with the request.

Police routinely lie about their powers particularly around questioning stop & search . I.e. "There's been lots of burglaries in they area so you have to show me your ID etc."

I had some close friends who were arrested in their late teens who were talked into forgoing any legal defence 'because it's 2am and it'll be aload of hassle".

So, Corbyn's three month suspension is up this week (tomorrow?) but it's probably just going to be extended, right?

Isn't the whole thing a load of shite given that the EHRC Report itself specifically protects the right to express opinion on the scale of antisemitism in Labour? I don't see why Corbyn isn't going down that route for his legal challenge, instead of the "private agreement" with Starmer.

The main difference in that regard is that yanks can refuse to answer a question in court. Try that here & see what the judge does.

Theres always a good justification for why you don't say anything without advice from a lawyer, and that's "because I didn't have advice from a lawyer"
Honestly there are so many words which have very specific meanings within the framework of the law, even if I did want to co-operate with the police to prove my innocence, I'd only do it through statements cleared by a solicitor.

The one that frightens me is the episode of 24h in Police Custody (1st episode of series 7, "Body in the Grass") where they flipped to trying to pin a murder on the husband halfway through, because the officers thought he wasn't 'acting right' and then found enough evidence to detain him.

To me the dude's behaviour seemed sort of like he might have been undiagnosed on the spectrum. He was also living on his own, the amount of times he was interviewed about it and the neighbours were questioned, they all started to turn against him as well.

The impression that was left after the show was 'questions remain unanswered' an a kind of :thunk: way that was really loving negligent - that dude is going to have to move and start a new life because one of the four mainstream channels in this country just broadcast to every small minded vigilante out there the town where he lives, and what his house looks like.

I got the impression that if the cameras hadn't been following the investigation it would have been very easy for someone to stitch him up by planting something.

There's a perverse, circular reasoning some filth have where they just want a case solved. By using dirty tricks like intimidating easy targets, planting evidence, or tricking confessions out of people who don't know better they get the cinviction, and then they can justify their reasoning because if he was innocent then those tactics wouldn't have worked, innit?

But the younger lad was right, what's the point in looking busy if there's nothing to do?
From my perspective, if a manager catches you not looking busy they'll start looking into if they need a team of 5, or if you all need to be employed until 5pm, or if more duties should be loaded onto the team.

A different interpretation of the phrase 'the devil makes work for idle hands.'

No but you see the abstract says he did a bad, and you should not look into the person writing that abstract, or who put them there, or how it contrasts with the rest of the report because the wording of this particular section says he did a bad and that sir is journalism.

Sounds a bit like the case of Cameron Todd Willingham, where everyone decided he must have done it and been poo poo, despite sympathy for him at the start. Also some of the forensics used for key evidence were just fabricated nonsense to explain the facts that the prosecution wanted to exist.

Not that you should just sit in silence until you get dragged to court.

If there is one thing the past five years have taught us, surely it is "no, we do actually need to say the quiet part out loud because subtleties are important and easy to miss if you don't draw attention to them". This is exactly the same reasoning as "ABOLISH THE POLICE", "do you mean, like, get rid of all law enforcement?", "NO OF COURSE I DON'T MEAN THAT". Well, it sure sounded like we did for a moment there, until someone asked a question and it got clarified.

It's especially important when you have the 900-pound gorilla of the USA's cultural influence giving us totally inappropriate-to-E&W advice, like that fast-talking James Duane "never talk to the police" video which everyone's seen, and the vast majority of police tactics in there are all massive case-stopping breaches of PACE.

JoylessJester posted:

Which is a completely different issue to what happens after the words get said.

The thing to watch out for in the modern world is, "any body worn video from the encounter?" "...no...?" "Why not?" There's no excuse for it, and by a shocking coincidence, the ropier the grounds, the less likely there is to be camera footage. I do agree that a lot of police officers have a shockingly poor interpretation of what they can and can't do, even when their camera is switched on, and it's a great deal of fun to point out to them how they've just shown a video of someone being unlawfully arrested.

quote:

I had some close friends who were arrested in their late teens who were talked into forgoing any legal defence 'because it's 2am and it'll be aload of hassle".

Anecdotally, I'm told this happened a lot up until about 10 years ago, and then you've got a combination of a lot of court attention was focused onto looking out for people doing this and throwing the cases out (along with other wheezes like "just have it and you'll definitely get a caution"); and then a lot of the old farts for whom it was standard practice resigned during the pay freezes, and went off to an exciting new career doing QA for colouring-in books. I'm not going to claim it never happens, but it's no longer the serious concern it used to be.
