I love this guy very deeply but my favourite detail is when he reveals that for his day job he’s a high school science teacher. Imagine him trying to get through the Krebs cycle so you distract him by asking him about the Dreyfus affair and he’s just going off for 20-30 minutes

A certain group of people are treating the Nowak case as if DEI training caused a one-off failure. It wasn't a one-off. This is a pattern of officers not following basic duty of care, and it has nothing to do with diversity training.

Case 1: Stephen Reardon, July 2023. Arrested in St Austell, collapsed minutes into a police van journey. CCTV showed him having seizures and visibly trembling. The officer watching through the Perspex divide said he was "playing games". His name was called 63 times. No response. He spent 22 minutes on the van floor. Neither officer stopped to check on him despite both being first-aid trained. Found dead at the station. Both officers dismissed for gross misconduct.

Case 2: Jerome Cowan, December 2022. Found slumped in a Coventry library toilet, intoxicated, unable to stand or stay awake. Officers removed him from the cubicle and placed him on the floor. He stopped breathing. Died in hospital. The inquest found missed opportunities in the level of care that may have contributed to his death. The IOPC found failures to provide first aid and to treat him with dignity. Three constables and a PCSO now face gross misconduct proceedings.

Case 3: Man in St Erth, November 2022. Found drunk and vulnerable outside a railway station at 1am on a cold autumn night. Officers called an ambulance but left before it arrived. Didn't move him to shelter. Didn't cover him. Drove past at 2:20am without stopping. Returned at 5am to find him rain-soaked, then sat in their car rather than providing aid. His condition deteriorated. He died in hospital. Both officers dismissed.

Same failure every time. A person in distress needs help. Officers dismiss it, delay, or walk away. No first aid. No urgency. No basic human response. Not a single one of these cases involved DEI training as a factor.

The problem isn't a diversity course. The problem is a culture where officers treat vulnerable people in their care as an inconvenience. DEI is the scapegoat. The conduct is the issue.

Going to hazard a guess there's nothing in this issue talking about plans to improve the lives and financial stability of young people.

Or if there is it's just 'do Thatcherism again but throw in some youth relevent memes'

Probably the worst thing about UK transphobia - besides, you know, the very historically familiar whipping up of conspiracist hatred against a vulnerable minority - is how *stupid* it is. This is utter drivel, nonsense, a profound insult to the intelligence of any intended reader

Corbyn’s manifesto included a promise to plant like a million trees and centrists wrote numerous exasperated tweets like “assume it takes one person 10 minutes to plant one tree, this ridiculous plan will take 4 billion years to complete! Why won’t he resign!”

@_bezpilotnik I guess this guy wants a Threads remake where some kids find a book on anarcho-capitalism and start grunting about Hoppe while shooting anyone who asks for a piece of the bread that they nicked earlier.

Years ago my wife and I were on an early date in a Chinese restaurant when another diner came over and said to me: "Can you shut up? You've got a very loud voice". I said: "My girlfriend has very poor hearing. Isn't that right?" And to her enormous credit she replied: "WHAT?"

Actually very funny that journalistic circles and media platforms that've spent the past decade energetically legitimising Matt Goodwin have decided he's too much of a liability and/or too unpleasant to be around
