There are even questions, and I'm not sure I agree with them, over the nutty killer nurse.

So the Manc Airport crazy decked two female police officers (breaking one's nose) before that incident?

Then decked a male officer with a chokehold?

Who'd have expected that? [-X

Taser deployed [-(

I'm still waiting for those demonstrators at the airport to also demonstrate in support of the soldier who got stabbed multiple times recently.

Best I don't hold my breath.

In the meantime following a peaceful demonstration in London Tommy Robinson is arrersted on terrorism charges for attending a protest march ! :shock:

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/tommy-robinson-arrested-under-anti-151934750.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANcogGXEGvJrYy6L8STLBEJhJ7Jyr3QAQFvBq_g2ul6YK0sLAvCEhVuhiLuSr61Rssp26q5uyEv5VcVAgi4Wns7wJsgrkEeb857mqQTg7IFeUNzhtgqo5McZ1jtlxNhZaK5UA1lbZn8DzAusvNYoiFU-7_xlrP9H9KfmTOkJilLP

so if you are a muslim fighting the police who get the better of you you are a victim of police brutality but if you peacefully protest against mass immigration (and I disagree with the premice that anti immigration is right wing politics) you are charged with being a terrorist

I think he has been arrested under the provisions of the terrorist act.

This doesn't automatically mean he will be charged with terrorist offences.

I think.

this could have been way worse

Bus plunges 30ft into river below

Image

A bus which crashed off a bridge in North Yorkshire and fell into the river below has now been removed, police have said.

Five people were rescued when the single decker crashed off the bridge on Barnard’s Road in Grosmont, near Whitby, at about 13:40 BST on Saturday.

Police said the driver and passengers escaped serious injury after the bus fell about 30ft (9m) and was left suspended over a shallow river.

I'd just seen this on the bbc news website and thought Sussex will lopve this and you'd already posted it ! :lol:

I suspect the council worker was either trying to make the job take longer or too busy listening to music on his headphones

One way to deal with the god botherers

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0494dxv053o

Image

A fed-up resident has taken the fight to “nuisance” cold callers by introducing a £10 per minute charge to listen to sales, charity or religious pitches.

James Jeagar, who lives in Great Cornard, Suffolk, has grown increasingly “sick and tired” of “scumbag” strangers knocking on his door in an attempt to make money or sign him up to causes.

In a bid to deter them targeting his house, he sellotaped a stern message on his front window warning them they would incur a fee if they wanted to talk to him.

The message read: “This household charges £10 per minute and the minimum charge is five minutes, payable by cash in advance.”

It goes on to add: “By knocking on the door you signal your agreement to the terms outlined.”

According to Mr Jeagar, the message seemed to already be getting through to those it was aimed at.

He said: “I just put it up as a bit of a joke but I’ve not had any unwanted doorknockers come around since, so it is proving to be quite successful.

When I received a letter from a private parking company requiring me to either pay their charge or name the person who was driving I sent them a similar leter stating that my time isn't free and for me to find the information they required there would be an admin charge of £100.00, the same as they were wanting me to pay. I am still waiting for them to send me a follow up request along with the payment.

It doesn't say if they got out before or after the X video clip, but if it was after they are two very lucky people.

There was a loud bang, and suddenly the taxi tilted to the left, he recalled. The driver and the passenger exited the vehicle as the water reached their ankles, he said, adding the passenger left on another taxi.

no x video attached to the article that I could see so presumably as they transfered vehicle they preXed
