I’m sure Laura Kuenssberg’s salary could save them a few bob.

More to the point, they’re generally beloved by children and parents, and almost everyone really.

The fun thing is we name all the variations on traffic light crossings too, eg pelican, puffin, toucan crossings. It’s bloody lovely.

Oh wow, I’m impressed by your in depth knowledge of teenage girls and life in Afghanistan. I should have known you were an expert and everything you’ve said is based on experience and fact.

So if they’re not angels, what are they? Do you think they behaved the same way in their previous country? What do you think motivates them?

Have you considered that the same people paying Farage to get you to parrot “stop the boats” might also pay migrants to go into other countries and destabilise them? And you do it for free… you’re such a mug.

How many teenage girls do you know who’ve been victimised?

The irony of posting an imgur link to a UK com.

Glad to see xcancel is back though, last I tried it they were offline after a cease & desist from X.

The worst outcome is someone reading it (not necessarily an asylum seeker), thinks it’s accurate because it’s from the government, then uses that to justify harassing people with cameras. People legally going about their day, taking photos in public legally, but contradicting the advice in this leaflet, being harassed due to this leaflet.

The long term worst outcome is that this sentiment spreads until a new law is introduced that actually does prohibit taking photos without permission.

1. You’re applying the technical terminology from The Highway Code, it’s not clear that this applies here.
2. The leaflet itself shows no explanation of the terms “should” and “must” like there is in The Highway Code.
3. That kind of nuanced language really isn’t appropriate in literature meant for people with a poor grasp of the English and English culture.
4. “Should not” and “can not” are not “legally different” - the terms have no formal legal definition, they’re just used in The Highway Code like that. But The Highway Code is not written by the government, it’s written by a private business called The Stationary Office. They don’t come up with legal definitions, they provide a specific layman’s explanation of the rules of the road, as defined in both legislation and case law.

where it effectively means you can’t focus on a person as the main subject of the picture or video without their permission, but it’s OK if they are just in the background.

The law allows for that, however the implication of the literature released by the Home Office implies otherwise. They literally said “you can’t photograph others without permission”.

The main issue is that this is an official government publication, and as such people will regard it as factual. It’s less that the law could come down on someone taking photos in public, but more that some self-righteous asshole might start a fight with someone taking photos, thinking the more strict version of the law the Home Office implied is accurate.

And there’s also the slippery slope aspect of this being a potential first step to removing the right to photograph others without permission altogether.

to get certain discounts, you need a clubcard.

This part is relatively new, Tesco were the first to do it but 5 years ago the normal offers were available for everyone regardless of loyalty card. But clubcard has existed for a long time before then - there were discounts and money off to be had though, through clubcard points.

It’s funny when you ask a member of staff, they get all flustered because they’re not allowed to let customers use their personal loyalty cards.

This one about the Tate brothers’ arrest

McBride said shortly after the Tates were arrested that “they’ve never done nothing wrong.

He’s not lying lol

Sure.

But I don’t inherently believe his claim that he isn’t getting clean water.

I’m much more inclined to believe that he is shitting himself though, just not for the reason he claims. “I didn’t poop my pants because I’m facing the consequences of my actions, it’s because I’m being abused!!!”

His conditions are far more likely to be compliant than the conditions he forced others to endure. The benefit of the doubt doesn’t swing one way here, he’s hung it up that way. He is a serial liar and everything he states should be questioned.

In any case, my beer betting money is on him not getting deported. If he weren’t a US citizen I’m sure it would happen, but he paid for his Trump gold card, and I’m sure they need some proof it’s worth it to sell more.

It has given me persistent stomach problems.

Lol he is literally shitting himself. Good.

Lmfao the irony of posting an imgur link about the UK to a UK forum, when imgur blocks itself from the UK because it was doing shady financial shit.

Get your head out your arse and realise the UK literally invented cucking for Israel.

That article reads like a bunch of quotes from locals. The BBC hardly injected any opinion into any of it.

Wait I saw that on reddit today

He gives me eerie Nick Clegg vibes.
