Fucks same, I'm trying to buy a $30 3D printed case for an analogue to HDMI converter from the US, but the company that makes them stopped shipping to the UK as HMRC haven't processed their application for a VAT ID and won't respond to queries about it either. Anyone know a decent UK company that'll do a smallish 3D print job without charging a ridiculous amount please?

Hopefully. I've asked her to send me the details of the payment and if it doesn't come through overnight, I'll go up the bank personally and see if they can find it.
I doubt very much that there is more than one Dr Jaeluni GG* Asjil or Dr J Asjil or J G Asjil at my local branch with my exact sort and account nos!

The sender can ask their bank to trace the payment, I would advise requesting that asap just in case. Should be a free service

World's Most Divorced Man apparently believes his own bullshit. It's not cheap to run for Mayor of London and I seriously doubt the culture war dark money that's been feeding him so far will back him in this because the very best-case scenario is that he hives off the voters too racist to vote for Shaun Bailey, the amount of votes he'd take from Khan is basically zero.

There are currently 5 IOPC investigations going on into the Sarah Everard case.

1 about how the Met responded to the initial report of her going missing.
1 about how they arrested the officer.
1 for how he got injured in custody.
1 about how she went missing in the first place (This is starting to sound like he might have been in uniform/in a marked car)

And finally one about how they swept an indecent exposure allegation against the murderer on the 28th of Feb under the rug.

Absolutely institutional failure.

I see a lot of this type of posting but is it for anything other than trying to pass your misery on to others like trying to get rid of a curse?

It's a legitimate fear given the catastrophic effects of climate change and the rise of fascism across the supposedly free world. Ignoring it or telling people to gently caress off isn't helpful - I mean if someone is relentlessly doomposting all the time it may be better to suggest seeking help unless they are clearly trolling.

There once was a dream that was England. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile. Plus you'd get put in jail, these days

I would unironically love it if every period drama ended the same way as Monty Python & The Holy Grail. They should make it a law like the old one from the 60's where the baddies weren't allowed to get away with it, resulting in Michael Caine being shot dead or stuck in a van on the edge of a cliff

i.e. if you didn't show everyone involved in an English period drama getting arrested and thrown in jail, then everyone involved would get arrested and thrown in jail

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/mar/19/priti-patel-wanted-police-stop-people-gathering-sarah-everard-vigil

quote:

On Friday as the police and the vigil’s organisers were heading to court over the legality of such an event, a message was sent to all police chiefs making Patel’s position clear. She wanted them to stop people gathering at vigils. She also promised she would personally urge people not to gather – but she never did.

Though the police are operationally independent, the home secretary had made her views clear, which made her criticisms of the way officers broke up the Clapham event particularly galling, according to some police chiefs who spoke to the Guardian.

As a result, some chiefs feel policing was “hung out to dry” when Patel criticised pictures of officers manhandling women at the vigil, rebuked the Met commissioner and ordered an inquiry.

One chief constable said the message from Patel and the government before the vigil had been clear, that a ban on gatherings had to be enforced.

Tensions are now running high between police and ministers. A government source hit back at any complaints from within policing, saying that “pinning women to the floor and dragging them away from Clapham Common bandstand was an independent operational decision” made by the police themselves.

cool country. i am happy to live here
