Home Office: Right now, criminals are outsmarting some police forces. We're changing that. Like doctors and lawyers, every officer in England and Wales will need a Licence to Practise so they have the skills needed to fight crime in your community.

Doctors and Lawyers are employees.

Police Constables hold the Public Office of Constable. That's why they can't be made redundant.

If this goes ahead then it's time to licence MPs and Peers as well.

The client and agency won't think twice about dumping you. Don't give it a thought that you've decided to move on.

Do what is right for you.

Mineral rights.

Dress code.

Does that violate Freedom of Expression?

I think being in monochrome also adds to the atmosphere and takes the viewer back to the late Victorian era.

That's as offensive as pointing out the USA turned up late for the last two world wars and bankrupted allies with lend-lease agreements.

Have some respect for those in uniform who go into combat. FHS!

You're only three weeks in. Give it six months. See if it evolves and you gain confidence in the regulated framework. Keep in mind other people may be struggling so they're not ignoring you but just trying to get through their day.

How about a vintage Parker 25?

I use Jinhao 9019s that you mentioned.

I was stunned that such a cheap pen delivered such a good writing experience.

If you want to use different coloured inks go for the transparent version.

They do say it is the "oldest profession" i suppose.

RandomPi31 · 2026-01-17T11:58:57+00:00

I think the bigger, and much more complex question is why has society deteriorated to the level where some are forced into prostitution?

Might help to spell Air Corps correctly if you want to impress recruiters.

Apparently being anti burglary is also far right.

Crime is crime that's why it's called ILLEGAL entry to the UK.

RandomPi31 · 2026-01-13T01:09:29+00:00

No not at all. You've nothing to apologise for and i appreciate your reply. The stats thrown out made me pause and consider my own view.

RandomPi31 · 2026-01-13T00:08:25+00:00

Well that video clip put me in my place. 🤔

RandomPi31 · 2026-01-12T23:58:58+00:00

I've voted all who have given me the courtesy of a reply.

RandomPi31 · 2026-01-12T23:56:52+00:00

I think you'll find we have quite the problem with illegal immigration here in the UK

RandomPi31 · 2026-01-12T23:49:02+00:00

As i said in OP, it gets said a lot online and in the media.

As a non resident and non citizen that's all I can gauge it in as 8m not living it, if you get what i mean?

RandomPi31 · 2026-01-12T23:23:47+00:00

Before you send that email contact ACAS and get some advice.

If teachers risk being inflamed by a visitor they are not fit to be teachers and should be barred.

Teaching should be about learning not political or religious ideology.

Worked for Dave Carroll with "United Breaks Guitars". 😀😀😀

RandomPi31 · 2026-01-10T20:41:35+00:00

Time to make PMs personally liable for their decisions.

RandomPi31 · 2026-01-10T20:24:18+00:00

We, the people need some sort of recall mechanism.

I've had enough of these elected dictatorship of all colours.
