yeah but only in england can you get something like this Wales v Australia: Boy vomited on by drunk fan in stadium

quote:

A six-year-old boy who was "so excited" about watching his first rugby match was left in "floods of tears" after he was vomited on by a drunk fan.

Joey was watching Wales v Australia on Saturday with his parents when the man, who sat behind him, vomited everywhere.

Joey's mother Sophie Delaney said he was so drunk he "didn't say a word afterwards" and could not acknowledge what he had done.

Welsh Rugby Union said it would review the steward's reports on the incident.

Mrs Delaney, from Chepstow, said "my son was in floods of tears facing me" after getting sick "all over the back of him, his coat, over me and on the floor".

She told BBC Radio Wales Joey already had drink accidently spilled over him earlier on, but this fan in the Principality Stadium was "slumped over his seat and obviously very, very drunk".

"It was really hard because it was apparent he was asking to leave but I thought 'if we leave now, that's going to be the feeling that we are left with', Mrs Delaney said.

"I didn't want to have that as our last memory.

"I was really fighting back tears because he was so upset, I was upset, my husband was upset, and a little bit angry, and I was holding them back to make sure he was alright."

People then rallied together, passing tissues, anti-bacterial gel and even offered scarfs to offer their support to Joey.

"A man came over and knelt down on his [Joey's] level and wanted to give him his Wales shirt... the reaction was really heart-warming," Mrs Delaney said.

The family were taken to new seats to enjoy the final 10 minutes of the game after the incident, but Mrs Delaney said she was "surprised" no-one noticed what had happened sooner.

Despite what happened, it has not put Joey off going to another game in future.

"Joey has been amazing, yesterday he didn't even mention it - all he talked about all day was the positives," Mrs Delaney said.

"So the experience as a whole was amazing and he's excited to go again."

The Welsh Rugby Union said it "was sorry to hear about the family's experience".

"In excess of 275,000 fans have attended the Autumn Nations Series games and the vast majority of fans enjoy themselves in a responsible and considerate way.

"It is policy for our staff to intervene if people are visibly intoxicated - this happens in three main areas: The turnstiles where people can be denied entry, at the point of sale if they try and buy alcohol and in the stadium bowl."

It added it would contact Mrs Delaney after reviewing the steward's report.

Yeah, when we dropped that bomb we absolutely exclusively killed the war criminals who forced a death march up the Malay Peninsula and the perpetrators of the Nanking Massacre and the guys who slaughtered civilians all over Asia. It definitely didn't just kill a bunch of ordinary people walking around on a summer day in Hiroshima and turn the city into a charnel house.

On the plus side, we did kill the guys who ran Unit 731 instead of pardoning them and bringing them to the States to work on biological weapons, doing that would've been as unconscionable as dragging hundreds of Nazi war criminals out of Peenemünde to build rockets for us.

The media always says stuff like "every year an area the size of Wales is deforested in the Amazon".

Maybe if we got rid of Wales they wouldn't have a target to aim for and might slow down a bit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nottingham_cheese_riot

quote:

The riot broke out on 2 October 1766 after some Lincolnshire merchants purchased a large quantity of cheese with the intention of selling it in their county. They were then surrounded by a group of "rude lads" who demanded they not take away the cheese and instead share it out in Nottingham. Violence broke out and there was widespread looting of cheese; shop windows were broken and hundreds of cheese wheels were thrown and rolled down the streets including Wheeler Gate and Peck Lane. The mayor of Nottingham attempted to restore order but was knocked over by a rolling cheese.

Some locals armed themselves and set up roadblocks on the city streets to prevent merchants from carrying away cheeses. A boat near Trent Bridge was seized and its cargo of cheese looted, despite its owner offering to pay the crowd or to sell his wares at a low cost. One warehouse was attacked and, though its defenders eventually drove the crowd off with firearms, some of the cheese was taken. The warehouse owner organised a mounted posse to track down the cheese, which had been taken to Castle Donington. The local magistrate refused to sign search warrants for houses in the village so the posse instead detained several citizens on suspicion of rioting and beat at the gates of the magistrates house, demanding justice. The posse was driven away by a mob of women and children throwing stones and withdrew, the cheese lost.

In Nottingham the authorities called for military support to help restore peace. Nottingham at that time was a garrison town and the 15th Dragoons, together with militia infantry and cavalry, were deployed. Some shots were fired into the crowd causing injuries and the death of one man, William Eggleston of Car Colston who was standing near a pile of cheese. Eggleston was a farmer and it appears he was killed while protecting his own wares, having been mistaken for a looter.

Lmao.

"the riot police was dispatched but were beaten back by cheese"

"the army was mobilised but widespread use of weaponized rolls of cheese forced them into retreat"

"seeing no other option, the government deployed a fleet of bombers to destroy the entire county and contain the growing violence. But, alas,"



Edit: but alas it was only 1766 and bombers didn't exist

The Belfast Telegraph posted:

The PSNI is tonight desperately attempting to contact its officers after a massive PSNI data breach meant the force mistakenly published the names, ranks, locations and other personal data of every serving police officer and civilian employee.

The data from the PSNI’s ultra-confidential human resources system is a gold mine for terrorists, offering details of officers working in intelligence and other highly sensitive areas – including almost 40 PSNI staff based with MI5.


The material was wrongly published on the internet today by the PSNI in what appears to be human error involving spreadsheet fields.

The spreadsheet in question contained standard statistical information on the strength of the PSNI, with details of how many officers it has at each rank.

However, a second tab in the spreadsheet contained multiple entries in relation to more than 10,000 individuals. For each individual, there are 32 pieces of data meaning that in total, there are about 345,000 pieces of data in the file.

The spreadsheet, which has been seen by the Belfast Telegraph after we were alerted to it by a relative of a serving officer, includes each officer’s service number, their status, their gender, their contract type, their last name and initials, details of how much of the week they work, and their rank.

It also includes the location where they are based (but not their home address), their duty type (from chief constable to detective, intelligence officer and so on), details of their unit (such as the anti-corruption unit or the vetting department), their branch and department, and other technical information about their employment.

There are 10,799 entries in the database. There are 9,276 police officers and police staff. It is not clear if the additional entries relate to other employees or former employees.

The data has been removed from the internet, but it is not yet clear how long it was available online.

There are details of staff who are suspended, on career breaks, or partly retired.

It reveals members of the organised crime unit, telecom liaison officers, intelligence officers stations at ports and airports, PSNI pilots in its air support unit, officers in the surveillance unit and – of acute sensitivity – almost 40 PSNI staff based at MI5’s headquarters in Holywood.

There are a tiny number of individuals whose unit is given as “secret”. But although that does not disclose precisely what they do, it marks them out as operating in an acutely sensitive area – and then gives their name.


There are details of the specialist firearms team, of riot police – the TSG unit – and the close protection unit which guards senior politicians and judges.

There is even a list of people responsible for “information security”.

It is a breathtaking exposure of PSNI secrets.

One former senior PSNI officer told the Belfast Telegraph that it was “astonishing” and a “huge operational security breach”.

“This is the biggest data breach I can recall in the PSNI,” he said.

“Many officers from Catholic communities don’t tell their families, friends and ex-school colleagues - I worked with many who never did even in recent times. That is a huge issue when that community is still underrepresented and the PSNI is trying to encourage applicants.“

He said that the system on which such sensitive data is stored “is highly regulated internally because of that fact, so even if this information is compromised only internally it’s still big”.

He added: “This is freely circulating on WhatApp groups, including retired officers. It is in essence ‘out there’ and can never be retrieved; the operating assumption must be it will be outside of the police family.”

The former officer said that “a data breach so catastrophic can’t be blamed on a single member of staff, it’s a systemic failure, it shouldn’t be possible this can happen by a ‘slip of a pen’ so to speak”.

There has been no suggestion from police sources that this was deliberate rather than a disastrous human error.

UUP leader Doug Beattie said: “This is a unbelievable breach of data and staff security. It cannot be any more serious than this and hard to fathom how such a breach could happen accidentally.”

It is understood an email has been sent to PSNI staff advising them not to forward links to the data breach and to delete them immediately.

The email also confirmed a “Gold Group” has been convened by Assistant Chief Constable (ACC) Chris Todd to respond to the incident.

A Gold Group is the highest level of internal emergency response available to the PSNI and is generally convened in cases of serious public disorder or a major incident requiring the oversight of the ACC.

The ACC reports directly to the Chief Constable and if required, the national emergency committee COBRA in Whitehall.

One officer who contacted the Belfast Telegraph said: “As a serving police officer, my own family do not know what I do. I have had to move house and out of the town I lived as advised by senior officers for ‘security reasons’. I deleted social media accounts…now my full name and initials are widely available. It's a complete disaster”.

The officer added: “At a time where morale is already at a record low and we feel completely unsupported by senior management, this happens”.

The PSNI has been contacted for a response. A press conference has been called by Assistant Chief Constable Alan Todd for 8.45pm tonight.
