With all the talk of the economic downturn and how it's one rule for the politicians and one for us, ask yourself one question.


Have I really got that bad a lot?


Now I understand perfectly if you think "what business is it of his", because at the end of the day...it isn't any of my business.


We also find ourselves being done over by the authorities/establishment/Law such as "was that parking fine justified" or having planning permission turned down.


I was always told that no matter what you're going through, there's always someone going through a lot worse. The clip you're about to see is a very serious case of this. This is a very serious case of being done over by the authorities that I don't think any of you will have to suffer in your lifetime even though at some times it may feel like it in an abstract way. What happens at 0:43 is shocking (just look at the look on the poor victims face) but what happens at 1:15 is quite frankly horrific.

Don't watch it, I beseech you daizie.


It dis nae matter anyway, as my imaginary Scottish Grandfather never used to say.

Wise words Tony, it isn't for the faint hearted. Although if you really want reminding of how small your problems and inconveniences are I'd pay particular attention to the times in the clip that I've noted.


It's barbaric in it's cruelty towards an innocent.

    • I would like to understand this promise by the Greens in greater detail and how it applies locally? Presumably road/pavement upkeep and renewal is as important for cyclists and pedestrians as motorists? I am not aware of plans to build new roads locally but there has been plenty of money spent on converting roads into pedestrian only areas. On the face of it this feels a slightly empty statement, when applied at local level. I'd love to know the Greens stance in hiring out parks for private use (given impact on park environment), I'd also like to understand their stance on fireworks- I will look to see if I can find anything.
    • You are most likely correct in thinking that  Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew it.  But they obviously thought that his skills, abilities and usefulness far outweighed the negatives. Here is a summary of the positives lifted from elsewhere:-   1. Strategic Architect: He was a primary architect of "New Labour," rebranding the party and shifting its core ideology to win the 1997 general election. 2 Master of Communication: Often called the original "spin doctor," he revolutionised how political parties manage the media. He famously created the "grid" system to coordinate government messaging. 3 Networking and Charm: Known as "Silvertongue," he possesses a peerless ability to charm and network with high-level global figures, including business leaders and heads of state. 4. Governance and Trade Expertise: Beyond strategy, he was considered a highly efficient minister, serving as European Commissioner for Trade and Secretary of State across multiple departments, including Business and Northern Ireland.  With his skill and abilities, he delivered results for all his bosses. In the short time in Washington, he found a way to get on the right side of Trump - despite him  being critical of Trump in previous years. That said he is complex personality.  He can be simultaneously brilliant and arrogant, thick-skinned yet sensitive, and selfless for his party while appearing narcissistic in his personal dealings.  My OP asked if he would be accepted over the pond. It turned out he was because he got on famously with trump. He worked out the correct strategy to get on the good side of Trump and secured a better trade deal than the EU and other nations.    
    • Malumbu, do you happen to know what the current figure is for "trips into town made by walking, cycling and public transport"? 
    • Before voting, do you not think it's logical to evaluate each party on its policies and make a tally of the reasons "For" and "Against" voting for each party.
