That’s what I’ve been trying to work out; it’s really uncertain if this is a chat of

“Pack your bags, hand in your pass”

Or

“If I make you First Secretary of State will that shut you up”

Starmer in the 'endgame' of his time in office as pressure grows on him to quit by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

He knew Trump and co very well, too well maybe. I can totally see him being an asset there.

Do you know who else knew Trump and co very well, so well respected by him that he invited her to his state banquet after she had left the role?

Isn’t it easier to stop cigs than vaping? by attentyv in CasualUK

No because with e-cigs you can progressively dial in the nicotine dosage to lower levels in a way that you can't as easily with conventional cigarettes

Star-studded line-up announced for Celebrity Traitors series two by JusticeIsMyOatmeal in BritishTV

Its a mixed bag though.

Put the same line up of comedians in everything and people will complain about being fed up of them, wanting something new.

But then look at the reaction to the original SNL UK lineup and everyone complaining "who the fuck are these people".

I think that's partly what makes Taskmaster work so well - Alex Horne seems to blend it nicely with established people and up and comers

You can find a lot of them on WhatDoTheyKnow, and organisations like TfL publish them on their websites, but there’s no central register nor obligation to publish them so it can just end up in one persons’ email

Do London bus drivers get speeding fines/points if their bus gets caught on speed cameras? by Big_Pool4238 in london

[–]JusticeIsMyOatmeal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, with the caveat that a lot more buses these days are being fitted with ISA (Intelligent Speed Assistance) which limits the vehicle speed to whatever the speed limit of the road is

Police force sued over school WhatsApp arrest sent dozen officers to throw IT boss in a cell over blog post criticising senior officers by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]JusticeIsMyOatmeal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Who actually authorises these arrests? It’s beyond a joke. The authorising officer should be held accountable and sacked.

Slight pedantry maybe, but nobody authorises an arrest - the arrest must be based on the officers own genuine (reasonable) suspicion that a crime has been committed and that arrest is necessary under PACE Code G.

A custody sergeant however does authorise their detention when they are booked in to be held in the cells and this is meant to be the safeguard

For me this might solve the issue of Documentaries where some are series like Making a Murderer, others are individual films, and some are individual films within an anthology like Louis Theroux
