  • He said the North Yorkshire Public Safety Service - comprising North Yorkshire Police, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, and local health services - was gathering feedback to “help inform how these challenges are managed in the future”.

    The MP said he hoped people in Wharfedale would participate so the authorities “fully understand the impact and respond appropriately”.

    Free, convenient, regular, public transport, for all.

    And change the penalty system. If the fine for illegal parking is £60 for everybody, that’s just a token expense for the rich but an effective punishment for the poor. Do as Finland do and link it to the driver’s wealth and suddenly all the twats in Porsches, BMWs, Audis, and Mercedes will think twice.

    That’s outside the scope of a council of course but that doesn’t prevent schemes being attempted and national campaign pushes.

    Plus, what village doesn’t have local farmers with tractors and pallet forks? Just put straps round the cars and lift the buggers out the way if absolutely necessary.


  • This article doesn’t really explain why, just that it’s complicated.

    That doesn’t prevent upper limits being put into place though, with scales based upon types of work, humidity, and break/water access.

    For example:

    • 45°C is too hot in all circumstances
    • 40°C is too hot at x% humidity
    • 35°C is too hot at y% humidity
    • 38°C is too hot at z% humidity if manual labour but okay for office work
    • Any work above 30°C can be refused if water and 5m breaks every 30m aren’t provided

    But that bring us to the real reason for why, productivity may be affected and that would hurt the pockets of the wealthy.


  • He told me he was giving me to the count of 10 to leave the area

    Moses was then Tasered… …while he was approximately 6ft (1.8m) in the air, causing him to fall to the ground.

    As a result, he fractured three vertebrae in his spine, and suffered other injuries to his chest, back, hands and right shoulder.

    Nottinghamshire Police stated McClintock "concluded it was necessary to discharge his Taser in order to prevent the claimant’s escape and safely detain him".

    So first they wanted him to leave, then when he chose to leave (due to their physical threat), they decided to prevent him from leaving. And then to safely detain him they tasered him while at the top of a fence.

  • The video appeared to show one of the brothers on the floor, being kicked in the face by Marsden while on the ground, as onlookers shouted for him to stop.

    Marsden, who was suspended after the incident, maintained he had used reasonable force and that he had not intended to stamp on or kick Amaaz, but was instead trying to stop him grabbing the wire of his police radio and using it against him. The Crown Prosecution Service said in December that year that no police officer would face charges over the incident, leading to Greater Manchester police lifting Marsden’s suspension.

  • I think partly because what sane person wants to be a candidate?

    To open their lives up to intense public scrutiny. To have deleted 13 year old tweets brought up. Particularly so if you’re opposed to those with vast amounts of power and wealth with majority control over the country’s press, who will have no qualms distorting facts to make a hatchet job on you. Every fart, sneeze, and little wrongdoing by Greens is inflated into a massive moral issue compared with what Reform candidates just seem to shrug off. The press don’t question Reform’s morality in anywhere near the same manner.

    You’ve got to be a special kind of person to want that instead of leading a private life.

    To then spend your days sparring with narcissistic bigots in opposing parties.

    Yeah, no wonder the talent pool is poor. Still better than openly and proudly bigoted, corrupt, fascist, or narcissistic people though. Imperfect Green candidates at least stand for and are pushing for a better world, unlike Reform who want to drag us into 1930s Germany.
