Comments by "Roger Smith" (@rogersmith8339) on "BlackBeltBarrister" channel.

One of the most amusing tales I heard along these lines was from a friend of my other half. Back in the fairly early days of the PC he did a lot of programming work from home but knew his activity was being monitored to make sure he was doing what he was paid to do. He simply wrote a programme to make it look like he was working.

Sadly one of the reasons they got in was the Reform & other right-ish parties which is exactly what I thought would happen (I would have betted on it even). Sadly, I do not know the solution but hopefully the next election will se the Tories try to do what the people want and not what they think we want.

Make sure your first blow is effective then you are not using excessive force.

 @bobikdylan He will leave with a ragged prison wallet.
10
Sue the parents of the two kids for everything they have!
9
@maureenguthrie7537 Quite likely in theory but they will probably have the latest trainers, mobiles and giant TVs. Genuine poor families are actually quite often reasonably well behaved (I came from one!)
7
And it is free although the cost must be enormous.
6
@carolynpantlin7626 Sue the owners of the academy as they make a lot of money from the council.
6
Would it not be possible to prove it was not you because there would be no calls from your address or near location?
6
@thomasandrewmcgonigal5150 I her parents had been responsible she would never have ended up in the situation in the first place.
5
Tools are useful, he certainly is not.
5
He is also the guy who said wind turbines were fitted with diesel engines for when it wasn't windy enough!
5
@halley4032 It is illegal to treat people differently because they are disabled in any way among many other things.
4
@johnmuller5342 Ever thought she might have been having lady problems? That has been used as a get out of jail card by women for murder before now!
4
You can always tell when management are lying, they use expressions like "in all honesty"
4
I would have been tempted to cause the agonising death of his dogs "by mistake" but I guess you are a dog lover so would not consider that appropriate.
4
Is not public opinion actually democracy?
4
@sadtranz4451 And what planet are you from? I can almost guess the country of origin of your car and that you are often DUI.
4
@chriswest6090 What if the girl had caused serious harm to an innocent person and the police had just talked to her nicely?
3
@fenrifegads5571 She was a young woman and they can be very touchy at certain times. Maybe they should not be in the police?
3
@peterwillson1355 Simple answer, money. Too many accountants running too many businesses these days. Even many of the problems with the BBC these days are down to the way they think.
3
I think it is beyond negligence, more like complicity!
3
@equitime77 That is true and if that is the case go for the bully / trouble maker's parents.
3
@Interdiction Selection of juries works both ways, sometimes for the crown but often for the criminal. If only there was a way of making sure any jurors were sensible and decent it would be a start.
3
😅Would you have said the same about Rolf or Jimmy?
3
@DrSpooglemon Quite amusing when you consider Tik Tok is supposedly Chinese?
3
Why were you filming as it was none of your business?
3
@markabrahams2191 Simple proof would be a photo of one of the units or videos of fuel being delivered. How about exhaust smoke or staining from the exhaust? What about work colleagues who previously worked in the industry who knew an awful lot about the workings and would have been particularly interested in these engines had they existed. One of the prime reasons this form of wind turbine is used is the low wind velocity required to start them in comparison to other types that might be more efficient at higher wind speeds. How do you think the old fashioned windmills used to work?
3
@sobeit1927 Show me some proof that they are or even why they might be needed?
3
@A2Z1Two3 My 12 ton sailing yacht will start moving in around 8 knots of wind coming at 45 degrees from the front. In those conditions it will do about 6 knots easily when I have the sails trimmed properly. It takes around 40 BHP for the engine to do the same. Cloth sails are much less efficient than modern turbine blades.
3
@sadtranz4451 When I looked earlier you suggested that I might be a lefty snowflake or something so I thought I would clarify the situation. Your original remarks about "draconian laws " made me think you thought being DUI was fine. I have no problem with people sleeping in their cars ( or doing anything else in them for that matter) but there are times and places where it might not be appropriate.
3
 @paulwright8378 Please grow up and not compare a situation like this with such an awful yet extremely rare incident.
3
@handsomejack5787 But does it make it good or right? When I was that age a kid like her would have got a thick ear from the local copper and the same from mum or dad when she was dragged home by the ear.
2
 @ethelmini There n maybe those people should not be riding pushbike two abreast?
2
In France they have a totally different view on knives. You can see all sorts on sale openly that would be totally illegal to own in the UK. The famous company Opinel even make a "my first knife" aimed at quite young kids with the picture on the box showing a couple of lads around 10 or 11 whittling sticks.
2
@stephenwabaxter They also need to be respected so it works both ways.
2
I was under the impression it was building societies doing this. Banks are normally far too greedy to care who or where the money comes from, hence the need for laws to try and control money laundering.
2
@AtoZbyLocalBus I was really just playing a bit of a devil's advocate, but we are only hearing one side of both of these cases. The building societies (which I believe they were, rather than banks) obviously did what they did for a reason and companies rarely do things like that without considering the implications. Decisions are normally made based on known customer base and how publicity of different types may effect them.
2
This is what the tuber Donut Operator calls a "Sovereign Citizen " and he has loads of videos covering them that get really hilarious.
2
 @cologne2792 Try "I am seriously paranoid, please excuse me "
2
The most common scams rely on the greed of some people who think that something for nothing is actually possible and que for free lunches.
2
@keithterry2169 And it is advised for your safety and that of others.
2
Who remembers when there were no such things as mobile phones? How on earth did we manage in those days?
2
You would love to think that the test for reasonable force would be what a "jury of your peers" would consider to be reasonable. Sadly with the weasel words of lawyers etc and knowing the bias of some juries that is not going to work well.
2
@stuartfountain9929 You should almost not be allowed to be a copper if you have a degree as they seem to sap any common sense out of people.
2
@stuartfountain9929 Does anyone do degrees that might lead to a productive career these days? Mind you even some of those with degrees that should be useful lack what it takes to make good use of them.
2
@@warpedwoz Add to that many seem to have made up no productive jobs!
2
@michaeldunham3385 All the problems come from trying to run a service like a money making business and/or trying to make it fail so the Tories can sell it all off to their mates for a song who will then sell it on for a huge profit.
2
@ForkCandle123 But would it not have been wise to check first, just in case?
2
@ForkCandle123 Why do you think the case lasted 10 months (other than that is how lawyers make their money)?
2
That almost sounds like you are using common sense, no one is entitled to do that these days.
2
She obviously wasn't targeting babies from that group then?
2
@Ian-xt1mb I bet you don't contribute much to society in general, probably on handouts with your rent and rates paid for. They probably would have rejected you anyway due to you not washing often.
2
@jamieeames8934 It is all well and fine you saying that and obviously what you say is quite correct. HOWEVER, I still find it hard to accept that it took 10 months unless there was procrastination by people who stood to gain enormously by prolonging the case. If they were on a normal hourly rate for a working man it wouldn't be so bad but the amount they charge per hour for nothing much and certainly nothing productive is obscene.
2
@jamieeames8934 It is way more per hour than most decent people actually earn.
2
@Epidian I had never even heard of it until this case!
2
@Hypersonik Have you any clue how wealthy Brand is? I suspect he has way more money than anyone leaping to his defence could dream of and while he might protest, in real terms it won't affect him one bit.
2
@maximisatwat So a serial killer writes his memoirs and makes a fortune from the sort of ghouls who love that stuff?
2
@karenyoung8341 It is too easy to doctor digital recordings and make the police look bad.
2
@topd0wn But when you vote are you not expressing your opinion regarding who you want to run the country?
2
The problem with suing a trust is that the people actually responsible are not penalised and any money you "win" will come from the public purse. The only way to get things changed would be to sue the management (or whoever you feel was responsible) directly.
2
@fluxington He seems to completely misunderstand the meaning and purpose of legal fiction.
2
@richardturpin3665 A tv presenter just used the words baubles which sums up a lot of what Knowles says.
2
@sadtranz4451 Try somewhat the other side of that fence. I someone causes an accident and is found to be DUI then I believe they should have their car crushed and never be allowed to drive again (as a minimum!)
2
It is a bit like pleading poverty when caught shoplifting. Understandable when it is a loaf of bread but not when it is a pair of designer trainers. I wonder how many of these drivers have more than a pretty basic older car?
2
 @lxdimension Not another BMW / Audi driver complaining about speed limits on roads were 20 is quite often plenty if not excessive under some circumstances.
2
@Old_Man_Pete People seem to have no concept of average speed and hence journey time hence they think 20 is some kind of conspiracy.
2
@acampbell8614 And it seems that this applies to certain stereotypes of people.
2
One of the funniest tales of attempted robbery I heard was when a guy I used to work with was in a cheap supermarket in the local slightly rough town. He suddenly realised someone was after his wallet in his trouser pocket so sharply bought his elbow up. The potential victim is a big lad but I am sure he didn't intend to lay the would be thief out cold!
2
A few damaged cars helps with enforcement.
2
Are they incompetent or is it deliberate?
2
@marksapollo The internet is fine but not necessarily always that safe for kids. Look how the looting in Oxford Street was organised for a good example, let alone the poor lad who got ambushed and knifed. It would be fine if the kids stuck to basic phones although quoting crime figures as a reason for them is not meaningful. We had our grandchildren for 4 weeks over in France earlier this year and one of the first things they noticed was less people glued to their phones and therefore much more polite and aware of what was happening around them. Both had their iPhones but often there was no reception or wifi so they were not much use. When one of them managed to break the special charger lead (not the normal USB type) they very soon didn't have working phones. The change to them was amazing! They suddenly started to do normal childhood things and even join in with more grown up stuff. Grand daughter discovered she had a gift for fishing and provided several free meals.
2
@aitchellarmoire9944 As I stated, I do not really know the answer - I voted Reform in the hope that it might make who ever won think a bit.
2
@S.Trades I have been pulled over only 3 times and all for good reason. 1st time because I misunderstood the actions of the police car and pulled out think they had slowed down to let me,, I was also driving a very old and tatty camper van. A polite response from me to questions and a polite word from the officer and I was on my way without even checking my papers. 2nd time I confess that my actions might have been provocative in a way, but again, politeness all round. 3rd time, yes I had unknowingly committed an offence by having someone riding in the rear of an estate car not in a proper seat. Politeness all round and a ticket for use and construction well deserved.
2
One classic error early on was your statement regarding guns being designed for one purpose- this is totally false and inaccurate!
1
Well said.
1
@jamespurchase4035 As all dodgy businessmen and criminals know.
1
@janyb1907 As long as that holds true in carcinogenic dust laden areas I don't mind.
1
@cplcabs What about tsunamis? We have them quite regularly near here, mostly minor but a couple have wrecked small ships. The real threat is from that big lump of rock likely to fall off the Canaries any time soon which will cause devastation to most of the south a and west coast of the UK and hit the eastern seaboard of the US too.
1
 @Inkling777 One 😂our previous cars was an ancient Citroen Visa. Every control was at your fingertips.
1
Does that work for all the banned or uninsured drivers as well as vehicles that are not correctly registered?
1
The big issue with banned drivers is that they already ignore the rules. One way would be to stop them from being able to buy fuel or even make it much more difficult to buy a car due to law changes (maybe along the lines of the firearms laws). Certainly seizing cars and destroying their cars is good.
1
Sounds like he was either being a pretentious knob or might not have been such an ordinary man of the people as he would like to portray when he originally got his account.
1
Should that apply to princes and DJs and Australian entertainers?
1
Apparently in South Africa the power goes off most days at least once!
1
It is quite possible that Brand will get positive benefits from this issue due to the nature of his "fans".
1
@rosemarywalker924 Too many people are happy to hide behind excuses for unacceptable behaviour these days, just look at the JSO protesters and the mob in Oxford street.
1
@gpw203 I am sure that the first two incidents were not exactly as you state (even if they did occur). As for the antique shotgun incident, please describe what type of shotgun it was as a breech loading shotgun could be 150 years old but it would still require a shotgun certificate and thus to possess one without would carry a minimum sentence of 5 years according to the law.
1
@GleeSmee Like squaddies then?
1
@gpw203 Regards the shotgun, you have not said if it was ml or breech - it does make a huge difference legally. If it was a muzzle loader, then he should have got BASC or similar to fight his case (they do so for free). If it was a breech loader (other than a pin fire) it needed a certificate and it was lucky he was not arrested. As for the other two cases, why was the guys house being searched and unless you witnessed the event or have seen footage with sound, I would suggest that he might not have been as innocent as you believe. Same goes for the guy you quote as being hit over the head, as you describe it, it sounds quite illogical so again he might not have been totally innocent.
1
@billybobbins9416 The issue I have with your suggestion is that I have a very poor sense of balance and for that reason rarely use my push bike except on very quiet roads or proper cycle paths. I have been on the back of a few motor bikes but was never happy.
1
@EpeP-qs9xb Lots of things are perfectly legal to do, but common sense tells most people when it is sensible to do them or otherwise!
1
@ferrumignis He is probably one of those cretins himself.
1
I believe more emphasis should be placed on the use of something as a weapon and he consequences of that use than possession of the item. To me if you use something as a weapon that has a realistic likelihood of causing death then you should be charged with murder or attempted murder. I think the Yanks call it assault with a deadly weapon. A length of small diameter pipe COULD be used as a blowpipe to deliver a deadly dart but it could just be what you have in your van.
1
This video is worth a view and covers some scary law changes that are proposed.
1
Of course you could always try to run or drive away and claim the officer was being nasty to you?
1
@ljb9983 Idiot!
1
@AtoZbyLocalBus What if he had become involved with certain activities for which the church has been paying compensation to the survivors of (now they have grown up), of late?
1
@kalinkapavlova9398 It seems vegans views are protected but I have yet to hear of one being charged with hate crimes for some of the vile threats they make to normal people going about their legal activities.
1
If you refuse to cooperate with the police then you are guilty by implication. Best thing to do is to cooperate whether you like it or not. Just think of the guy who tried to run down the offices and got shot.
1
The problem is the old one of any publicity is good publicity and that is exactly what the likes of Brand love. I recall he was one of the many who ripped into Mr Edwards who had not actually committed any crime nor had he actually been accused of doing so. In fact, it seemed that he was actually the victim in many ways.
1
@paulhodgers Remove the right hand and no disability benefits?
1
@waynegoldpig2220 But he does have some total idiots in his videos!
1
@MikeHarrison3266 Who was that black guy in the US who got stroppy or the guy who tried to run over the copper? Your approach worked really well for them. Because I drive safely and sensibly I have only ever twice been stopped by the police in 45 years. First time was because one of my brake lights was not working (got told to get it sorted) and once because of how I drove into a private road. A polite explanation of the situation and all was well.
1
I feel sorry for some young lads these days knowing that significantly underage girls are getting into 18 plus night clubs. Who is going to ask a girl you have just chatted up for proof of her age?
1
It is rather telling that some very young kids ax
1
Actually do the right thing instinctively
1
The problem is, we in the UK are gradually becoming more and more like these stupid Americans when it comes to being upset and suing people.
1
Very sadly there are far too many people these days who would play on so called vulnerability. Whether it is feral chavs who behave badly in class or the likes of Chris Packham who tells blatant lies and hides behind his so called autism (a condition that cannot be purely scientifically diagnosed). What if Saville or Harris had claimed to be autistic and that was the reason they did what they were accused of.
1
@juliaw7533 True, but it seems gen z needs to be told or they do really stupid things!
1
There is an issue with publicising the identity of armed officers in that is can make their family members vulnerable to criminals.
1
Hand guns in waist bands or inside pockets?
1
@shookoneldn300 It is not easy to make up crimes to convict the truly innocent. Yes, you might be accused of a crime but be innocent of it but that is what courts decide. Without doubt some cops overstep the mark but in90+% of cases it is much safer to comply and seek redress later and there are plenty of solicitors who would be willing to help you.
1
@shookoneldn300 When you dig deeper into the story of people who hate the police you often find that they are not the loving innocent people they would like you to think they are. I have been stopped by the police very few times in my life despite nearly always having driven old bangers. Every time there was a good reason for it, almost down to the time that I virtually baited them by driving onto a private road where I had very good reason to be. I was very polite to them and pointed out that the road was private and normal driving rules don't apply legally.
1
@shookoneldn300 The officers had good grounds to search if there was a genuine smell of cannabis and if the lads were totally innocent and cooperated there would be no problem. Round here the cops must have no sense of smell as it is everywhere and they don't seem to do much about it. I suspect many are actually afraid of being accused of bias and getting into trouble.
1
Is it not the BMW or Audi that always has right of way.
1
Ask the guy who got shot in the police station what his opinions are on that one.
1
@mypointofview1111 Managers across all industries these days are only bean counters and very few if any come close to actually managing anything. I have worked for managers way back who trusted and supported their people and actually knew what they did and why. This no longer seems to be the case with degrees in some old rubbish being the main criteria for being a manager. They still take the big salaries though!
1
@BadDriversOz but both their shoulders slope down and are heavily greased with Masonic lubricant.
1
It is quite easy to say that but I have seen videos where the "auditor" is deliberately provoking the police for their own ego and to make money from You Tube viewers.
1
 @Mr_Burke No, they are just being total a holes a lot of the time.
1
 @joes6088 You sum up the whole thing really well there!
1
@zeb3144 It is total idiots like you who get get laws introduced that have a negative impact on ordinary, decent people. Many of these so called auditors must be on benefits as they don't seem too have proper jobs. Worst still, a good few are not native to the UK with some originating from countries linked to terrorist acts against our country.
1
@alangordon1677 The problem is many of these auditors very deliberately provoke the officers and can be very offensive with what they say. The only thing they will achieve is more laws that affect decent, ordinary people.
1
He has been known to threaten people by saying "Do you want to die" in a manner that you would assume to be a threat to life. The use of force would be fully justified and due to the high likelihood of him having a knife due to his age and ethnicity lethal force would be appropriate.
1
Had one of the officers been armed and popped the guy, just imagine the outcry!
1
What really bugs me about cyclists is that they are allowed to carry out racing on a public highway yet cars are not. It would not be so bad if they didn't hold up traffic by riding several abreast.
1
@mikewade777 Why can't they if it is in a controlled situation? I guess being a cyclist in your tight fitting lycra, you are entitled to do what you like?
1
The worry I have with armed police is that they could be very vulnerable to being hijacked, killed and have their weaponcompetitively
1
Something went very wrong there.
1
I was trying to say have their weapons stolen and then relating to my experience regarding competition shooting against armed police and the lack of competence among many of them.
1
@georgehetty7857 Some of them are, just like many people who wind them up deliberately.
1
In the US, a great many officers get killed by their own weapons following up close and personal interactions.
1
I wonder if the car driver was connected with the police in some way or was just an ordinary Freemason?
1
@ForkCandle123 A 10 month court case suggests a fair bit of evidence!
1
@ForkCandle123 Are you an NHS manager by chance?
1
@ForkCandle123 Basically it is none of anybody's business other than those who were directly involved. It sounds like either you love to stick your nose in or much worse still, you are one of the NHS managers or close to one.
1
@ForkCandle123 I just had a thought about why you may have the views you seem to express - could it be you are in favour of euthanasia / eliminating the sick and weak from society?
1
@ForkCandle123 The problem is neither of us have any hard evidence either way and unless there is a formal enquiry of some kind we never will have. All I can do is point out that the trial took so long due to the need to cross examine the evidence available and although as you point out, juries can easily be swayed by crooked lawyers, the fact that the management (who are notoriously protected by the corruption of the Free Masons) have been implicated makes me think justice has most likely been done. It certainly would not be the first time someone has used there position for some bizarre purposes.
1
What about all of those dodgy types that have two or three burner phones that their wives or hobbies don't know about?
1
The term locker room is a horrible Americanism and part of the bigger problem in the UK.
1
How about concentrating on driving when you are behind the wheel?
1
@womble321 You sound like a total entitled jerk, please walk away if you are offended.
1
@nikitaw1982 I think you spell like a soccer fan (ie an uneducated moron)
1
Sounds like double speak from 1984, same as "Smart motorway "
1
@willowtree9291 Every toilet cleaner is more deserving than the brainless farts who kick a ball round on a Saturday afternoon!
1
@jamieeames8934 No doubt the teams on both sides of the case deliberately made things worse to prolong the trial. When you hear how long the trials of people caught red handed last you realise how bad things are.
1
@jamieeames8934 not sure what you are on about ref the pupillage?
1
I used to work with someone who was proud of stealing from supermarkets but he was from Croydon. Hope he gets caught before long.
1
That all sounds good, but someone like Brand could end up making lots of money due to the publicity from this case, specially given his self confessed former lifestyle.
1
@andyxox4168 Proceeds of crime springs to mind.
1
@andyxox4168 Brand and his like relish publicity and that is how they make their money. He couldn't care less what he says on his social media and has often bragged about things a normal guy would keep quiet. He has chosen his stance on many topics carefully, just like politicians do before an election and in many ways in exactly the same way that the BBC do. He wants viewers/ subscribers and as they say, any publicity is good publicity. He has upset a lot of people, just like Neil Oliver, by virtually encouraging disrespect for the law.
1
@andyxox4168 There is free speech and very free speech. Like a lot of the You Tube ranters, some of what he was saying maybe a year or two ago was all well and good which is how I discovered him on line. Then to keep the money coming in (which is the only reason they do it, despite what they may claim) they get more and more outrageous and more than a few are starting to promote civil unrest / disregard for the law. I Brand's case, he loves to brag about how many women he bedded in his earlier years which is rather juvenile but does appeal to certain people. He also had other unsavoury habits including drugs and other excesses. One wonders just how many of his "partners" may not have been as willing when totally in control of their minds and bodies but you also have to consider the abuse of position side of things.
1
@andyxox4168 Never stopped him ripping into Mr Edwards who had not broken any laws?
1
@TRUTHDISTRIBUTIONNETWORK So if this guy had been promoting dangerous dogs then that would be ok?
1
@theclotshotdidit3115 These days you never know. He would only have to plead that he had a certain not technically diagnosable condition (mentioning no names) and he would get let off and given help.
1
@theclotshotdidit3115 Are you sure you are commenting on the correct video?
1
@Igbon5 Big aggressive dogs and big fast cars to make up for their small Willie's.
1
This is why so many people get shot by the police in the USA and also the guy recently in Paris.
1
 @benhamilton5692 Sovereign Citizen strikes again!
1
@ianl1052 What opinion are you referring to? The fact that there seems to be an outbreak of sovereign Citizenship?
1
@ianl1052 Not so much wasting police time as refusing to cooperate with reasonable requests from the police. Take a look at various videos by Donut Operator.
1
@Treblaine So the guy turns out to be a banned driver in a stolen car, rams into the back of your car at speed wiping out your children and wife and leaving you seriously injured. Then you discover that the police had stopped him half an hour earlier but got fed up with him being argumentative and let him go.
1
@eolhcytoos I thought video evidence counted for a lot these days.
1
@zacote1970 I know my spelling and grammar is not good, but yours is truly appalling and indicates that you are really not that bright!
1
@DLC-sy7pp But filming them and provoking them will only make matters worse for everyone. Laws will be introduced etc. The officers in the example were doing their job and unless you are an aggressive drunk or druggie you should understand that.
1
@DLC-sy7pp What if someone filmed you going about your every day job, but then again you lefties don't work for a living do you.
1
@frederickconnell6052 I still cannot see the point of filming coppers unless you have a thing for men in uniform or to make money from You Tube videos and make yourself feel important. It seems that You Tube is starting to get into more like Tik Tok every day.
1
@DLC-sy7pp No, it is called making yourself look important and making money from suckers. You have no idea what real auditing is about and why it happens. It will only have a negative effect in the future.
1
@DLC-sy7pp That is the first time I have been called a do gooder in my life! I was not presuming you don't know what proper auditing is as you made it abundantly clear yourself. Why not try your "auditing" on someone like the Coastguard by exercising your rights to jump off a pier or cliff?
1
@v4skunk739 You CAN do many things on public property but whether or not it is wise to do them or indeed of any value/ use to anyone is another matter. By the way, there are rules/ laws regarding who and what you can film in public places to do with privacy.
1
@DLC-sy7pp I guess the police know why news reporters are filming and that they know the film will not be used for nefarious purposes.
1
@frederickconnell6052 But you are not the press, you could well be using your film for nefarious purposes.
1
@oxfordsparky 100% with you on that. I guess these self glorifying people won't be though.
1
@v4skunk739 Actually you cannot with certain exceptions and I suspect from your made up name on here I know why you might feel so paranoid.
1
@DLC-sy7pp I was thinking more about identifying them and passing information to criminals who could then intimidate or threaten their families among other things. Mind you, why ever you do it, you must get some sort of kick out of it.
1
@John_Lyle It should have, just like some of our forces in that conflict and many others.
1
@John_Lyle So there are bad cops just like there are bad in every group?
1
@amosluyk He probably was in his imagination lol.
1
@nattiejanes They happened in a very different time.
1
@pozzee2809 The issue with this guy is that he openly brags about how many women he has been with and the lifestyle he used to lead. There is a fine line between seduction and mild coercion and a little booze or substances can tilt that line. Many of Saville's victims were seduced by his charm and position and were even delivered to him by their mums or dads. Does that make them less of a victim.

@bryngerard4334 Does that apply to the Prince and the escort (under any other name).

@taras6806 If you stop and think how many mobile phones there are in the UK you realise that tracking every one would be quite impossible. What has happened though is that by your provider being able to show you were in a particular place at a particular time, people have been able to prove they are innocent of a crime.

One question, what would an officer stand to gain if he carried out a search knowing it would find nothing? Unless they know that next time it might be too late to do the search for whatever reason. Just think if it had been done to the guy in Manchester?

@@BusterGonads-zj2sw How about genuine insider knowledge from someone who did not have an axe to grind nor stood to benefit. Much of the reasoning used in his video showed a complete lack of understanding of how wind power works. You only have to watch the AC40 sailing races to get an appreciation of what wind can do.

@Shoomer88 That actually sounds plausible and would be a pretty desperate measure.

@paul756uk2 It is possible that SOME early installations in Scotland MAY have had diesel engines in the system but I have not seen any believable evidence to prove this. These engines would have been pretty large to do the job that they were supposed to have. Modern turbine installations have electrical anti icing. All this said, Mr Knob le was suggesting that all turbines have diesel engines for when it is not windy and idiots were chipping in to say that they have seen the blades turning when there was no wind. One of the ironies with the Scottish wind turbines is that on many occasions they have to feather the blades (ie put the at an angle where the wind does not turn them) on some because there is too much electricity being produced.

Darwin was right!

@MrVexedviper They do tend to be filled with pretty nasty fumes and if the CO2 builds up too much ( which it can do in confined areas) that would effectively suffocate someone.

 @no-oneinparticular7264 That should be even more reason to avoid the risk.

@clivewilliams3661 You are not talking about a one of transgression but repeat offenders. If it is speeding, get a slower car, it could even save you road tax and insurance costs. Many cars these days have cruise control and/ or speed limiters (even my cheap old French one from 8 or 9 years ago and not new then did).
1
 @clivewilliams3661 In answer to your question, in your mind?
1
 @andywilliams7323 Even more reason to avoid breaking the law then?
1
 @davidbarlow431 No, it was so professional footballers could continue driving their Bentleys etc after being caught drunk or drugged.

It is a bit like saying I stabbed him because I was poor or had a bad childhood.

 @andywilliams7323 Her not being banned for life and banned from even owning a car is appaling even given her son's condition (that may well be her responsibility anyway).
1
 @andywilliams7323 To quote a person mentioned in a previous comment, it is likely that the condition of the child had something to do with the mother and her lifestyle.
1
@andywilliams7323 What about some of the crashes she has had with her brat in the car? Obviously a very caring mother who is prepared to make money out of her son.
1
@andywilliams7323 No it isn't and is just an excuse for reckless behaviour.
1
@15bit62 I must confess that I think there should be 30 limit reminders like there are for 20 and 40 limits .
1
@rickconstant6106 I find it interesting that, although a car is a potential lethal weapon and can be so inadvertently, there are no restrictions whatsoever on who can buy one or the top speed they are capable of. Just look at all the restrictions on gun ownership in the UK when cars kill far more people.

@GoldenbanjoDJ Ever heard of a duty of care?

@andywilliams7323 A genetic condition you say, so quite likely both his parents are the cause.
1
@andywilliams7323 Did you not say that is a genetic condition which would imply it was inherited?
1
@no-oneinparticular7264 A well deserved too for ignoring the law multiple times.
1
@andywilliams7323 Maybe the banned driver should be made to pay for taxis for the people who have been affected by his behaviour? That might be more of a deterrent?
1
@andywilliams7323 Katie Price could very easily afford to pay for taxis given the amount of money she has / makes. I believe the last crash she had was in a very expensive car and was there not something about drugs being involved?

An autistic 15 year old can be very dangerous, not intentionally or at least not maliciously but still dangerous.

@CristiNeagu Did you actually read what I wrote or only read what you wanted me to say?
1
@tufty7663 At that age her parents should be held responsible for her actions and be charged with allowing her to get drunk. What if she had attacked your granny or your little sister?
1
@michellemcgill9328 Potentially quite a dangerous situation, although she might not have meant to hurt anyone or done so with malicious intent I certainly wouldn't want to deal with her kind.
1
Do we know if she was scientifically proven to be autistic, or if that is even possible?
1
@wakeupuk3860 Perhaps all the Oxford Street mob would plead that they are autistic (instead of being total retards)?
1
@slavbrav69 Sounds like your favourite dish?
1
@CristiNeagu Where did I say she was violent, only that she could have been capable of violence.
1
@stephenspence1192 No and have never wanted to be. What bugs me is that people are so ready to attack them for reacting in a way many folk would in a situation or criticising them for not reacting. I was not there when this incident happened and although there is video footage, camera angle can make things look very different.
1
@TheAArmstrong Have you ever seen a feral chav fight - not a pretty sight. Add drink and an "altered" sense of right and wrong again you have a potentially unpleasant situation.

@nofyou5182 She was probably on the blob, hence being touchy

@Kit_Bear Thankfully a good many "fix" themselves I.A.W. Darwin's theory, but not enough as the numbers keep increasing!

There are those who consider trial without jury can be beneficial in some cases due to the way juries are made up of "ordinary" and not necessarily sensible people.
1
@ivarbaratheon264 Very much so, but certain alleged crimes are more likely to be frowned on more by your average jury.
1
 @ItsOnlyMe247 And you are obviously one of the dangerous drivers. Let me guess, a BMW or an Audi or is it a Merc?

I am afraid it works both ways and when you seem some of the thugs attacking ambulance crew, you wish that they were trained and equipped to fight back.

It is far more advantageous for a crim to know the law than for anyone else.

Kids taking mobile phones to school are just another example of the entitled generation. There is absolutely no need for them to have a phone at school and going by my grandkids, it all seems to be about who has the newest and best and endlessly watching silly American videos on tik tok etc.
1
@VictheSecret It might be irrelevant to the discussion about the legality but it is relevant to the cause of the issue. As for mobiles being "useful " for kids, how come generations managed without them. There is a huge difference between "useful " and necessary.
1
@marksapollo The problem is not so much them having phones but the latest generation of smartphones expose them to a lot of things that are not good. And as for knife crime, how on earth does that come into a conversation about phones (other than they were crucial to the organization of the stabbing of that lad in the park by fellow students).
1
@obid7755 I think you missed my point slightly (mind you, mentioning WEF makes me know why) - I voted Reform knowing that Labour would win, not necessarily as a result but certainly in some areas as a result. They just were not strong enough yet - they need to really understand how the true majority of the British voters thinks and what they really want. They need to be the party of the "Real" people and not appear to be fringe elitist as occasionally comes across.
1
@flier9708 You have a point there, some of it was about not trusting a potential "Populist" government (i.e. Reform) based on what has gone very wrong in the past when that happened.
1
@patmillar961 No, the darker bit between them!
1
@grahamgibson3737 That is why I voted Reform, hoping it might just kick the other two into thinking about ordinary people in the UK.

Filming cops is just trouble making & stirring and should be banned. These idiots only do what they do to make a name for themselves.,

@georgehetty7857 You can exercise your rights to jump off a cliff or a pier if you want to but I would not suggest it is wise.

@georgehetty7857 That is what I would expect to come from some looney lefty do gooder.
1
@Treblaine In your very own words, this guy was being reckless by speeding. That is more than enough reason for him to be stopped and asked for his details.
1
@zacote1970 How many cops have died or been seriously assaulted while going about their lawful duty? You don't end up in police custody unless you have done something wrong. That doesn't mean people should die, but it is a big step towards staying alive.
1
@S.Trades Who on earth are beating and killing victims just for fun? Sounds like some London gang with a deprived childhood?
1
@paulwright8378 I was thinking the other day about that incident. Has anyone seen hard and fast proof of anything to do with it? Could the officer involved have been set up for expressing views against the "system"?
1
@zacote1970 Not sure that what you have written makes any sense?
1
@zacote1970 I could not answer a question because what you wrote made no sense. Please try harder or give up.
1
I guess many would be capable but a, they have to toe the line to get anywhere (there are crude terms used in industry) and b, they get consumed by the power they have.

@dartmoorkid4797 And doesn't change the people who actually run the country ( the civil service).
