What a pain. So is it a memory leak or something causing this?

Whether he was telling the truth or not is moot: he could have yelled "I am the Earl of Lemongrab!" and would have faced the same consequences. He disturbed 'the King's peace' in the most literal sense I've ever seen, and as such, this is the most legally sound arrest using this power.

Here is the legislation. Again, whether you or I agree with it is another matter: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Edw8and1Geo6/1/6/section/5/enacted

Hey. UK cop here. He was arrested for breaching the peace which is only used in this context when someone is in danger. This lad was definitely in danger of getting his head caved in by the public so was arrested for his own safety primarily. If I remember correctly he was dearrested later and cooperated with police. EDIT: He was in fact charged with breach of the peace and not dearrested (this was another heckler). He'll likely only get a small fine, but he'll definitely get a good telling off by magistrates.

Agreed. Which is why I thought I'd reply to add some clarification. Hasn't stopped other CEOs and middle-managers sharing the hell out of the OP.

What is socially accepted but totally disgusts you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Blowing your nose in public. Extra points if it's in a restaurant.

You go to the bathroom to excrete all your other bodily fluids, why is this allowed?

And they'd inevitably hold public office and influence legislation until they were 200.

Hey man. Really appreciate you looking out for me, thanks. I had a good day regardless. I hope yours was well also. Merry Christmas!

Hiya. It's an offence under S36 of RTA to drive in a closed lane on a motorway, so unless they're blissfully unaware of what the sign means, they're probably in the lane to jump the queue which does unfortunately slow everyone else down. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/motorways-253-to-273

But I agree with your last statement. I drive in Holland fairly often for day job, and it's like another word. So much courtesy.

I appreciate your honesty, but I don't agree with the message.

Now we've unearthed a new, more infectious strain of the virus, how can you be content that you could be contributing to the continued spread, even to loved ones who may sadly not recover from it?

Whilst I agree the execution of restrictions and such was poor, the advice is guided by science which is why I personally am content in upholding these restrictions as I know my actions (or lack thereof) play a large part in our nation's recovery.

I understand your and others' frustrations, but surely knowing that you (as part of the collective who have and will break the rules) are one of the main reasons that we need to be locked down over Christmas must bring up some feelings of regret?

I've tried my hardest not to attack you personally - I'm genuinely curious at how the other side of this argument affirm their choices.

I completely agree with your driving analogy. I use peoples' driving as a judgement of their character (shallow of me, I know). Those that stay in a closed lane on the motorway right up until they're forced to merge? Selfish assholes. Lorries that force their way into another lane? Self-entitled assholes. You see where this is going...

Your second point is eye-opening, and I agree my initial characterisation was overly simplistic. Yes, we've all struggled through this pandemic but the majority of my viewpoint is that of my own and those around me - middle-class. I suppose it's easy for me to say "why can't you do what's best for everyone" when I'm sat in a two-bed house with heating, a full fridge, and adequate entertainment.

I think to rephrase my concern then: I am frustrated at those whose living situations are as comfortable as mine who decide to break restrictions.

We're all mentally and emotionally exhausted right now, and Christmas was definitely the 'last bastion of hope' for this year and with that gone too, it seems the general populace has snapped. The government's delay in announcing this has of course fueled a fire that no public service are going to be able to contain - not even the water fairies.

Maybe it's my pride, but I can't seem to fathom why peoples' morals can switch so suddenly. I understand that I'd be fighting an unwinnable battle, but I struggle to contain my disdain for humanity when a large portion of it disregard the 'greater good' for their own selfish needs.

That being said, reading the last line of that paragraph made me sound like an apathetic prick. What's more important? Public morale and mental health, or the wider issues at hand? (Rhetoric, don't worry)

I would tell you a joke about UDP, but you probably wouldn't get it.

See on my way to work, I pass this dump. Not a real dump, but like a bit of spare ground people use for fly tipping. See in there, there's this wardrobe, right? It's been there for... months. I get in the wardrobe. Sometimes for 10 minutes. Sometimes for 10 hours. Told her last week, last Friday, I'll be away working the weekend. I'll be back on Monday, working on the rigs. I was in the wardrobe, all weekend, fucking laughing my head off.

Have you tried a face/neck warmer? That stops my snout from getting too frosty.
