I find this outrageous.

Ah, a former member on here who used to request less cryptic thread titles, m'lud.

You and @winjim missed Breast...

 

[Drago]

How do you know? I thought you weren't on Facebook?

Mrs D is on Faecesbook and takes great delight in drawing my attention to the inane drivel.

What happens if I report a football game.So I get a hundred quid.

 

[Drago]

If youre really sneaky you could wait until the shift change at the local cop shop, and report them all for being in briefing togther. They'll have to give you 50 quid and then beat themselves up.

We live in a Police State

Erm, no. No we don't. You have free speech, you can vote, you can protest, you can largely do whatever the mood takes you so long as it's not criminal... you could walk around your town naked if you wanted, stating loudly that the Prime Minister is a crook, and you'd be free to do that.
How dare you postulate that you live in a police state.

We have no appeal and we are automatically guilty.

Yes you do. And no, you're not.

Just don't answer the door when the Feds visit. Theyve no power of entry for this, so when you get the knock simply close the curtains and turn the music up.

Maybe not for that,but if i foolishly open the door and they get a whiff of my cannabis farm can they demand entry?

I'd also like like to take you to task Mr D about your comment(post 36)regarding posters on here posting pictures of their pets! Here's my mutt wearing his mod parka,in anticipation of wearing it at the Ribble Valley mod/scooter weekender this weekend,which due to the virus had to be cancelled. You can't begin to imagine how upset he was when i broke the news to him!

It sounds like nonesense.

But the rules they are putting in place are there to try and save peoples lives. Why would the public object to help in stopping the spread of the virus. Maybe its the money incentive they find so distasteful. 🙄

I was disgusted to read the headlines on one of the gutter rags recently; out esteemed leader proclaiming that "we'll get through thanks to our solidarity" or similar - that same solidarity his party as been intent on systematically destroying through years of divide-and-conquor techniques..? Absolute scumbag.

The more I look the more it disgusts me that whatever the government are selling is usually the direct opposite of it's intended / actual actions. It's also extremely concerning that everything is seized upon as an excuse to consolidate governmental control and surveillance; they've been pushing for facial recognition for years and have thankfully always been slapped down - now they're trying to bring it in off the back of "Corona passports"; and of course there's also the push towards cashless being capitalised on through (I believe largely unfounded) fears of handling cash.

It seems that any situation is seen by our overlords primarily as an opportunity to tighten the noose around the neck of the citizens they're charged with protecting

Thread drift.
Where was this rally due to be accy?
I was in clitheroe when it was on last year and have a vague memory that some folks said it would most likely not be held there in the future.
Also, do you or the mutt have a scooter?

There are more than six people gathered on this thread and I claim my £50

I suspect its just sour grapes because his neighbours are behaving so he cant claim his 50 quid grass money.

Even if this cash reeard scenario were the case - when it isn't - no one objects to crime stoppers cash reeards and the like, so why should any other category of crime be viewed any differently, particularly as this is the most serious public health emergency in a century and people are dying from this illness?

If 50 quid cash bungs were helping the police punish the selfish and stupid, but also to save lives, then it wouldn't worry me one iota.

I want a job where I can get £50 a time for reporting mobile phone users who are driving. I would love it and would only work until lunchtime 3 days a week. 😁

I think if it was true, which it isn't, then I would rather see the money properly invested in the police service and judicial system, which I gather is struggling somewhat from public sector cuts, which can't be helping enforcement.

Yes you do. And no, you're not.

It's all very well justifying your argument with facts .
