Why? What is the purpose of bodies such as the IOPC if every police interaction defaults to a trial? Funny you mention the other side of the atlantic since the entire ACAB rhetoric that seems to be seeping through is an American import. What you seem to be advocating is an overuse of the judiciary to govern police in some sort of attempt to make amends for previous cases. So I ask you how many not guilty verdicts would you like to see returned before the UK police are free to do their jobs?

Keep killing people and getting away with it?
Mark Duggan - Lawful Killing
Dean Joseph - Lawful Killing
James Fox - Lawful Killing
Richard Davies - Lawful Killing
Jermaine Baker - Lawful Killing
James Wilson - Lawful Killing
William Smith - Lawful Killing
Josh Pit - Lawful Killing
Yassar Yaqub - Lawful Killing
Richard Cottier - Lawful Killing
Sean Fitzgerald - Under investigation
Anthony Grainger - Police found at fault
Sorry but a 'Look at the US it's a slippery slope' argument doesn't wash.

"The system ruled that the police shooting all these black men was lawful, so there's nothing wrong with the system!"

Might want to do a quick race check on those people before saying 'all these black men'.

I came around on the artistic merit of poetry after my teenage "poems are lame" phase, but I did not appreciate that poem which more feels like a grauniad column with shoehorned rhymes.

quote:

Ask an official, and they’ll likely describe the site as a “former care home”, but you’d be hard-pressed to find much care. There are no grab rails in the property. No changing beds for incontinent residents or commodes for those who can’t make it to the toilet. Bathrooms don’t have shower chairs to enable people to wash.

The centre has security guards but no trained care workers. Instead, disabled residents are left to fend for themselves. One young man from Pakistan with cerebral palsy is paralysed and unable to speak, but has not been given a carer. His mum is with him in the centre and does all she can, but she needs knee surgery herself. Buckled by the strain, she’s started to use her son’s walking frame. “His mum sobs and cries all the time,” says Maria Wilby, from the local charity, Refugee, Asylum Seeker and Migrant Action. “A few weeks back, she begged for help on the floor.”

quote:

Try the food in the Essex accommodation and it’s tellingly prison-like: a falafel squashed in a slice of white bread, or a pile of beans in a polystyrene box. I’m told, three residents have become diabetic since arriving at the centre– one has lost two toes.

One woman in her 70s has lost 4kg since she arrived. She’s been boiling instant food in a kettle but with only £8.24 a week for expenses, she can only afford out of date produce. “She’s now knocking on doors [in nearby houses] begging them to cook for her,” Maria says.

The entire article is depressing as gently caress :(

I'm going to have to post a lot more schad/funny links to balance out that article about the care home. I'm a mostly-retired disability activist, so I'm all too aware of the final end plan for people like me if the Tories get their way, but seeing it in black and white like that really punched me hard. The Tories want to make people like this suffer even more than they currently are, hence the push to decimate human rights.

It'll be interesting to find out how much the Tory contractors are being paid to house them. I bet it'll be the same, if not more than it would cost to house them in actual care homes that provide actual care.

Another old tree down, this time a yew in East Sussex.

quote:

It comes after national outrage at the felling of Sycamore Gap tree near Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland on Wednesday.

Mr Lawrence said: “The yew is in line with some oaks which are in the 700 year old age range. I know there was an ancient hedge row there.

“This is an ancient marker of an old woodland, this keeps happening and no one seems to do anything.

“I tried contacting Rother District Council and tree officer but they do not seem interested.

More likely to be "thing happened while press is in tree mode" than connected, but I wonder which developers stand to benefit.
