Harking back to 24 Hours In Police Custody and my son-in-law:  the gobshites were breaking into his house, riding a stolen motorcycle with no insurance, and he got 22 months for chasing them and knocking them off.  They received no sentence for their crimes.  They have now successfully sued for personal injury and received a 6-figure sum.

In other words, you did it, so suffer the consequences on your own!

I fear it's pretty much the same in most so called civilised nations. Hell bent to be inclusive for everyone and protect the rights of criminals. 😞
IMHO, if you willingly break the law, you forfait your rights (like the right to drive when caught speeding) and the victim should have every right to defend himself, his family and his property. Or to take measures (within reason) to get his stuff back.

I am sure they are @pete and no doubt getting a few other perks too. I sometimes think that like our politicians and local authority workers they forget that they are public servants, there to serve the public, and not the other way around.

I'm still working from home (not in the public sector though). It was one of the conditions of my accepting the job (Jan 2022). I live in Welwyn Garden City, job is in Cambridge. 2 hours commuting it there is a "return to office". I'll be resigning if that happens. Previous 2 jobs, 15 minutes away - no problem with working in an office for those two.

Worst commute I had was 1 1/2 hours one way. 6 months. Gets a bit tiring if you get caught and have to work back. Very little traffic on the road there and back so no hassle in that sense.

Car load of dirty trollops just drove up from the neighbouring pub car park, stopped outside our house and then the driver and front seat passenger helped themselves to several balloons worth of nitrous oxide canisters, before turning round and driving straight back to the pub for more booze. That’s today’s Britain for you on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. Anniversary of D-Day too. Can you imagine what this lot would do in the same circumstances?

How snowflakey are we that the Govt have to issue health warnings at 25-30 degrees C? 

Fuck me! I don't start to sweat till well over that! We went for a walk in Cyprus at 45 degrees and walked over 4 miles!

Shouldn’t this be in the “Hot, hot, hot” thread?
I’m in Northamptonshire and the wife and I decided to eat lunch outside today. Despite a clear sky, it was really cold and I had to shelter from the Northerly wind. Tomorrow we’re supposed to be the hottest place in the country and will be lucky to survive. Somehow I doubt it.

It's the same over here, today we got 30°C for the first time this year. A bit hot for my taste, but nothing that can be dealt with having a tasty cocktail with a mate, on a roof terrace overlooking the local canal (after taking the Jag top down to a meeting). But on the news plenty of warnings and tales of how exceptional this is. Though I clearly remember much hotter days not that long ago, even in May. Why not show people enjoying themselves in the sunshine instead of all this doom and gloom?

I have made many mistakes in my life. Buying a multiple Lotus is not one of them.

Part of the 45 minute route to my work had been "closed for essential resurfacing" (according to the signage) on Thursday and yesterday resulting in a really circuitous diversion, down narrow, glorified farm tracks, that added about 12 miles and 20 minutes to my 'commute'. It'll be worth it though I thought as it's been badly needing done for ages and was turning into a real suspension-wrecker.

This morning on my way home, the road was re-opened. There I was looking forward to a billiard-table smooth passage over the previously offending stretch of potholes loosely joined by fragments of tarmac. Well, I was almost spot-on with my expectations............................................:no

Clearly 2 days well spent...................................in the pub!

Who did they use? A 5 year-old with his bucket and spade from the seaside? :censored:

Your lucky - here they have just completed a repair on our lane, they don't even bother to fill in the potholes, they just put the tarmac around the edge so there are no sharp edges as your car falls into the hole! Words fail me.

You should send that in the press and get them to cover it, at the same time copy in the CEO of the council demanding an explanation on how this contractors work can be passed b y the coun il as satisfsctory, and also, be proven to be a good use of public money by the council. We both know that that will be cracked up by the winter, and after the winter, worse than it ws before. If onloy they would bloody well just do it right and proper first time, they'd save a bloody fortune. To be thye hinest, the Head of Roads in your council should be sacked for allowing/passing that.

The Labour Party again this week. Everytime their front bench open their mouth all we hear are loads of personal insults aimed at Tory individuals. Just school ground antics, never tell us what their policies would be or how they would govern this county, god forbid us.

I am 100% certain that I will not be voting for anyone at the next GE and I never thought it would come to me doing this. Can’t voteTory after how the are letting the public suffer while, it seems, every company dealing with consumers is getting mega rich based on spurious price increases. Can’t vote for a bunch of name calling school children which it seems don’t have a clue, and then who’s left, just a few wannabe politicians in their spare time.

This country needs a bloody good shake up, come back Maggie🙏
