Spook? Why not just a faildaughter with family connections.

Her reaction to being caught out was very telling: instead of immediately withdrawing from the job app with what little dignity she had left, she was all: "Oh hey, I only lied once! You're not seriously gonna hold that against little 'ol me, are ya??"

Very much the reaction of someone who's never had to face consequences before.

So, does the person responsible for dealing with this get the bribe on their first day on the job, or is it just in the handover, "At some point, a representative of the region's farmers will approach you with a package. Just take it and ask no questions. You can thank me later by taking me out for drinks."

anime is not good
does anyone know the uk environmental regulatory structure looks like? in the us under the clean water act the states have to prepare a plan listing maximum pollutant levels for major water bodies, which are then reviewed and signed off on by the federal environmental protection agency. if there is a sustained level of pollutants (like npk from farm sediment) above the limit, the federal agency can take the state to court to try to force compliance

i'm wondering if the problem is the overall plan for the lake is flawed or if nobody is interested in forcing compliance with the plan

If I had to guess, I'd say there is no plan.

Basically, rural areas like that are so sparsely that there is limited resources for inspection.
The farmers who are in that area probably have enough resources/pull to make sure nothing happens.

That and resources are already stretched thin enough in those areas that environmental compliance is lower on the list than "keep streetlights on" and "grit the roads."

Meeting goons chat:

Does the phrase "has your house got stairs" just relate to this thread or is it generally applicable?
A foreign friend used a phrase on fb in a comment to me (not the stairs one) that is strongly suggestive that he might lurk (or even post!) in the CSPAM thread.
May be a coincidence, just seems odd that a foreign person would have picked that highly specialized particular phrase out of nowhere.

Odd is it not that in one of the most heavily CCTV surveilled cities in the world that we haven’t had any clips of our man yet?

Not really. The vast majority of CCTV installations are privately owned and aren't actively monitored; a significant number of them (regardless of ownership) are broken, turned to face a wall, have minimal recording facilities, or are potato systems from 1991; and none of them are installed according to any kind of plan or design with blind spots everywhere.

With even minimal awareness, or dumb luck, he just turns down a back street and disappears. This isn't China.
