This has been doing my head in all morning. Just infuriatingly useless "advice" that would have done approximately gently caress all for Sarah. Everything about this poo poo is so awful.

Genuinely divorced from the reality that is day to day policing if they think this will reduce incidents and not instead result in vastly trumped up charges for fleeing from plain clothes officers.

It's incredible how badly they've hosed the response here - and sadly instructive of just how completely insulated they normally are from criticism. All they needed to do was the normal "Bad apples, lessons learned, policies will be updated" poo poo (and obviously not actually changed anything) and the usual suspects would have just greased the ramp for them out of the news cycle. Instead they've come up with a bunch of poo poo that even the whitest liberals are going "Wait what?". It's hard even to pick a highlight, but "wave down a bus" is, I think, my particular favourite because it reveals even Plod don't believe that ringing 999 is going to end well and buses at least have cameras and witnesses and stuff.

Ash Sarkar summed it up absolutely perfectly:

That's the thing is just arrogance. They've known since the second he was arrested there would be a public response but they just haven't bothered doing anything because the previous experience is that it wouldn't matter and nothing would need to change.

Moving chat:

There's a distinct possibility that my wife and I are going to have to move from Fife, Scotland to Exeter in January. Unfortunately, while my wife has her driver's license here, I don't yet (I'm Canadian and have to take a driving test to switch my license to a UK one, but COVID delays have meant that I can't any time soon). This pretty much rules out us renting a truck and then moving that way, so I'm considering pod or container delivery services.

Has anyone had experience with moving within the UK via pod or container delivery? Any advice, either in how to proceed or what companies are good/bad?

I don't have any advice but if you do wind up here hit me up in PMs, join the Exeter goon contingent :)

I'd quite like it if regular small tornadoes were part of the English weather system. (The fun type, not the dangerous type.)

Like, you're out on the local high street and suddenly a tornado materialises and moves down the street and everyone cringes back into the shop doorways and stuff and a couple of awnings get ripped from the store fronts and are dramatically flung hundreds of feet in the air and then the tornado dissipates as quickly as it began and everyone stands around for a bit brushing rainwater off themselves and going: "Ooh, did you see that, came straight out of nowhere, didn't it!" and then everyone goes back to getting on with their day again.

It'd be cosy :3:

Don't forget the spy cops ruling as well, which demonstrates that the police might not arrest you, they might instead use public funds to deceive you into a sexual relationship because they don't like your politics.

Since we're on the subject of international nonce of mystery Jame Bonds and I don't think it's listed in the OP (since it's not strictly speaking a politics pod), Kill James Bond is a podcast run by Abi of Philosophy Tube, Alice of Trashfuture and Devon of Various, where they recap the bond films from a leftist perspective.

Disappointing, Omond/Womack would have been much more interesting.

Green Leader standing in Bristol West could gently caress up Thangam though which would be very fun.

For what it's worth, I've had some experience with Carna Denyer locally and she's very much an ally to trans folk. Whether she ends up frustrated in the same way that Sian Berry was (for example with Ali) remains to be seen, but yeah couldn't be a much worse MP than Thangers in that regard.

21% of the party voting for Ali is an exceptionally bad sign though.

This is because apparently, for various complicated reasons mostly to do with BAOR not wanting to deal with multiple classes of driver, German driving licenses over a certain age legally count as C1 (LGV) in the UK - but that wouldn't entitle you to drive a tanker lorry or any kind of HGV, just cut out a couple of bits of the testing regime.

Beyond her usual "Me, I and Myself" poo poo I can't really criticise her for taking this tact. Its drawing attention to the fact she obeyed the rules at every step and took the safe route on a day when the police are trying to shift the blame to her not being savy enough to flag down a bus driver.
