Miliband did not take questions, Im sorry to say. Said a lot of stuff about accepting refugees that sounded good, without acknowledging his role in creating refugee crises and then helping lead his party into the wilderness forever and ever, amen.

Oh god no. Police chiefs are considering offering guns to all frontline officers.

gently caress's sake. And with a whole two weeks training too. The really stupid part is that if you give every cop a gun all a terrorist with a knife needs to do is kill a police officer first (easy with the element of surprise) and now he has a gun.

Braggart posted:

Well if you're going to have fewer police they need more individual firepower. Common sense innit

This is pretty much the reason given in the article. They claim that the current method of Armed Response Vehicles patrolling around isn't good enough because there aren't enough ARVs. So let's just arm all the beat cops instead because guns are cheaper than hiring more police.

Im torn between the fact these people are paid such large amounts for something so pointless and that the punishment is so harsh.

If I was caught with half a gram of coke the rozzers probably would just take it off me and tell me to go home.

Transcribed from Iplayer.

Question: Whats happened about the claim [about the £350 million] because statistics show that many people voted on the basis of the additional funding for the NHS?

Answer: "Everyone involved in vote leave, myself [Matthew Elliot] Borris Johnson, Michael Gove, Gisela Stewart since the referendum have been clear that when we get that Brexit dividend from leaving, we would like to see more money for the NHS."

It's okay the DWP never agrees to anything until the 3rd appeal at least.

I don't think enough has been made of Tony Blair fetish club and Rightwing thinktank Progress asking it's members to donate £1000 a year to keep it afloat now Lord Sainsbury has backed the gently caress out.

Will Pissflaps donate whatever he can to his favourite working class thinktank?
