@richardaeden Yes, you are confused. Prince Andrew was having sex with minors (or, at any rate, one minor). So, in his case, it was a bit more than an “ill-advised friendship”.
@mrhorsdusujet@v_j_freeman I think this is correct. It isn’t politics, it’s laziness. Much easier to cart off peaceful old-age pensioners than to deal with Nazi thugs chucking beer cans about on Whitehall.
@AntiGrowthCoa@NicholasTyrone This is the sort of reasoning will deliver a quasi-fascist and incompetent (Reform) government. It’s nothing to do with safety, it’s entirely to do with greedy, lazy drivers. The average idiot sees that and votes Reform. If you can’t see the link you are politically illiterate.
@simonmaginn@mrsDugskullery They don’t have to do the arresting though. It’s not as if they make any effort with shoplifting or burglaries. They even admit that. So as a matter of practice they prioritise some things over others. This does not have to be a priority but they choose to make it one.
@SuzieWo20886208 It’s Moscow rules. It’s how you identified yourself to an Eastern European agent in the Russian sector in East Berlin. The reply was “Each day counts”. If they mistakenly replied “will stretch extra” you had to hit them over a head with a Remington typewriter.
@terrychristian Sure, but they should have done. Are you saying ministers who break the ministerial code shouldn’t have to resign? Or just that working class ones shouldn’t?
