1984 is already here.

Very prescient was our George Orwell:

Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police



and

Harry Miller



Unfucking believable.

Actually I was still getting into real fights with pikies in 1984. Happy days.

I know SE London pretty well - let me know where you were having all these fights with 'pikies' in 1984.

[WHU(Exeter)]

By “keep going on about”, do you mean my suggesting that the closest you ever got to fighting anyone in the 80s, would more likely amount to you having some kind of hissy fit in a student union bar, as opposed to being involved in several fights with Pikies?

I have no idea what you’re on about with the “sitter” stuff Pickle, then again considering your throwing word salad around on pretty much every thread you engage in, that’s not a surprise.

[Hammer and Pickle]

Why do you keep going on about little girls, (Sitter)?

[WHU(Exeter)]

I don’t remember that Pickle, I was more a Roy of the Rovers kid, but packed that in when Roy moved to Saudi-Arabia (or one of ‘em). Proper ‘jumped the shark’ moment.

that girl…you broke her glasses didn’t you?

c’mon, let it all out now.

You couldn't snap a Twiglet in half Fritzl, you limp rat featured featherweight pathetic no hoper.

Judge Dredd?

I used to collect 2000AD. Actually, WHO sometimes reminds me of the Cursed Earth storyline. You remember that (Sitter)?

[WHU(Exeter)]

Fucking hell, who called Judge Dredd?

pushing a girl in a student union bar doesn't count Pickle.

I do as it goes.

The law should be that whenever polishing, you should never leave a smear 

[Hammer and Pickle]

Not just his opinion though is it?

the YouGov survey that I mentioned to you, (the one that you demanded a link to, even though a 6 year old could’ve found it in seconds) reported that a very significant amount of the population don’t even bother reporting crimes anymore. That’s how much ‘esteem’ the police are now held in, in this country.

if you still lived here, you’d find that many now hold his opinion. But you don’t, so you wouldn’t know.

my own view of the police in recent years, is that a lot of ‘em tend to hang around city centres, just in case anything kicks off in/near Sainsbury’s and Tescos, in between stuffing their already overweight bodies with the nearest Greggs. That incidents involving just one scrawny youth can see as many of a dozen or more of them turn up, and still take way more time than needed to deal with the situation, that one or two at a push used to d/w in a few minutes in decades gone by. We’ve been burgled, the ONLY reason I would report it to the police is for a reference number for insurance purposes. 

my views above are formed by seeing it, again and again.

no idea why you think your views are valid in any way on this, as I and very few on here, wouldn’t dream of going onto some Polish website and lecturing on the state of Polish policing. (Although I’d GUESS it would be a damn sight better than ours)
 

Do you have something to say on Polish policing? If you do, it’s no skin off my nose to read it.

Policing in this country used to be called police by consent:

In this model of policing, police officers were regarded as citizens in uniform. They exercise their powers to police their fellow citizens with the implicit consent of those fellow citizens. "Policing by consent" indicates that the legitimacy of policing in the eyes of the public is based upon a consensus of support that follows from transparency about their powers, their integrity in exercising those powers and their accountability. for doing so.

That has now been dissolved.

Now it seems they have turned into something that Iron Felix Dzerzhinsky would be proud of.

Wait until they build a Lubyanka in London any time soon.

All rather depends on the content of said offensive material, doesn’t it. In this case, it ought to be argued that finally the party in government has grown some balls and is not allowing some tin-pot shouty extremists to blackmail it.

stubbo - it's worse than that. To be prosecuted any person (including a copper or 2TK) just has to think someone else MIGHT have been offended.

A police state has arrived care of the 'nice party'. And not so much as a whisper out of the other bunch of cunts. 

It seems that opposition in this country now consists entirely of GB News and Talk TV. Even Reform seem to have gone on holiday since the election.

I don’t think that Orwell was being prescient at all seeing as he was writing a story, set in the future, which included things that were taking place  place in the SU that had begun years before WW2.

[wils]

Very prescient was our George Orwell:
 

Well, considering it’s now 2024 I wouldn’t use the word prescient. But he was eventually right. 

[riosleftsock]

Yes, George Orwell would not have believed how bad things are.

[Sydney_Iron]

This is quite amusing; Will i get arrested at Heathrow for posting this up LOL im in the UK in a couple of weeks if plod are watching!!!

[Hammer and Pickle]

The decision to prosecute incitement to racial violence on the internet is definitely a subjective one. You may not agree with it but then again the idea it has anything to do with the George Orwell novel about how Britain has become a totalitarian regime after the Soviet Union has won WWIII in Europe is perhaps a little far fetched on reflection, right?
