Weston Super Saint

Aren't they where you go for a cup of tea on a long journey?

Lol. Monday - nobody has a clue how good she is at her job so no-one can criticise her. No-one can have an opinion on a police force in an area they don't live in. Wednesday - you don't have an issue with people wanting her to be sacked for doing a bad job (the same job nobody knew how good she was at doing it on Monday). Wednesday - no-one can have an opinion on a police force in an area they don't live in. Flip Flop Flip

Wow, that must be a record even for you - just two days for you to flip flop this time. Are you Boris in disguise?

Why not put the onus on the teams to decide when VAR should be used? IF each team had 2 reviews at the beginning of the game (like they do in cricket), and lost one review each time the ref's decision isn't overturned, they would soon learn to only look at incidents that were 'clearly and obviously' wrong. This would have the added benefit of increasing the quality of refereeing decisions as the refs wouldn't want to be proved wrong....

Rebalancing is the key. Our supply chains are too large and too complicated. We have far too much 'stuff' on the shelves of supermarkets that we really don't need (43 different types of pasta & 109 types of rice on the Morrisons website this morning). Supply chains will adapt, innovate and overcome, but choices will reduce which won't be such a bad thing. 'Service' options will reduce as well with the onus moving more and more to the customer which will save on staff costs to protect profit lines, so the big supermarkets will be fine. Farming will still be affected, but has always been at the behest of supply and demand price variations. We'll see more and more technological innovations in this sector which will massively increase yields and ultimately profitability, but this will probably end up with large scale farms being owned by big corporations squeezing out the 'family run' businesses.

And whether the results are guaranteed.

Some of the 'leave' camp also felt that restricting the movement of labour was also not a great idea, but accepted that Brexit was a full package and that there was no chance of cherry picking what stayed and didn't.

Sadly it's another industry that has relied heavily on the exploitation of foreign workers for minimum wage to keep our sausages cheap. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/28/the-whole-system-is-rotten-life-inside-europes-meat-industry It shouldn't come as any surprise that the industry has a shortage of workers, the British Meat Processors Association even highlighted what the issues would be post Brexit : https://britishmeatindustry.org/industry/workforce/ The whole industry looks like it was way too greedy to put in place an effective strategy to mitigate the fact that it would not be able to attract new foreign labour after Brexit, probably driven by the big supermarkets wanting to keep the prices down. In farming parlance, you reap what you sow.

Agreed. Although I fear you may be branded a lesbian hater for pointing out the issues that need improvement...

Fact check, not true. Bristol has a mayor and is covered by Avon and Somerset police force, which has a PCC.

Your point (which actually wasn't your point, you're just moving your own goal posts to try and save face), was absolute bollocks as usual. Other police forces in the UK have a PCC and Chief Constables so have different structures. Even the briefest search will bring up multiple results of Chief Constables being asked / invited / forced to resign following various fuck ups in their forces, making their positions untenable. If the Dame worked in any other police force in the UK there wouldn't be a story or a thread as she would have been asked to resign many moons ago. Which, funnily enough, also explains why there are no other threads about Chief Constables from the other police forces as their performance issues are dealt with, they make the headlines for a day or two and then they are replaced - in GMPs case the Chief Constable's office door has been replaced with one that revolves to speed up the process....

Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are down. #fuckingBrexit

Quite. As I've mentioned to aintclever the PCCs are elected - pretty much all of them are also serving MPs. Just waiting for him to answer why he "expects" there are many other commissioners who are also doing a shit job, despite the fact that the Met are the only police force that have a commissioner (as far as I know) as most other forces have a PCC...

Question too tricky for you then so you had to dodge it. The Avon and Somerset police have just had a new police and crimes commissioner elected. It's early days and we can't really judge him on s couple of months work - his job is also not as high profile as the Dame's. He is an ex army officer though and he is apparently trying to get the majority of the police armed - not convinced that is the way to go, especially given the judgement of many police officers... There is no Weston super mare police force

Profit. They know the planet is warming as well as everyone else does. They also know that the world is currently so hooked on fossil fuels that it really isn't going to affect their bottom line - I imagine during the years they spent millions trying to deny it, they weren't so confident, but turns out we can't get rid of fossil fuels because the alternatives still aren't reliable enough. The sooner we crack the conundrum of nuclear fusion (and scalability) the faster we will solve the climate crisis....

Nope. And I reserve the right to go all MLG on you. It didn't answer the question at all. The report merely mentions that the drop in CO2 levels caused the increase of ice in the Antartic. It didn't put a figure on what the CO2 levels were, which is what the question was asking! Edit - apologies I must have skimmed over the part that states : So it did answer the question - which is a good thing because it means I'm not really like MLG Fag packet maths - if it took circa 120 years for the CO2 to rise by 100ppm it looks like we have at least another 250 years before it even gets close to the tipping point (and that's assuming that CO2 levels will increase linearly like they have in the last 120 years). I'm afraid that I won't be around to witness that and I doubt that anyone five generations from now will remember me (after all, they'll probably have their own problems to deal with).

Given that there were no humans around at that time polluting the atmosphere, what would you attribute that to? PS, technically still not answered the question : Which was asked after your claim that :

Why do you 'expect' that? Aren't all the others 'police and crime comissioners' who are 'elected' officials during local elections (maybe you aren't aware as getting past the front door to vote is usually beyond you ) Incidentally, 8 out of 31 of those are also women....

I assume you didn't understand when I wrote :

Quite fascinating. The opinion seems to have moved from 'Boris is a fucking idiot' to 'Boris is a fucking genius' in the past 2 days. The truth is, 'Boris is a politician' and will therefore be whatever you want him to be as he has zero morals or actual / tangible values.

Doesn't answer the question : What was the level of ghgs when the Antartic was forest 33 million years ago or when the Arctic had no ice 3 million years ago?

What a crazy question. We wouldn't have a thread about Cressida Dick if she were no longer the commisioner. We may well have a replacement thread about Dave or Julie or Bogdan or whoever else is the replacement. Why do you assume people think she is doing a shit job based on her gender and not on the results - or do you genuinely believe the head of the Met is doing a cracking job?

What was the level of ghgs when the Antartic was forest 33 million years ago or when the Arctic had no ice 3 million years ago?

It's not my dictionary, it was another one of Borriersaint's misplaced claims...

Odd really as I'm sure we were told that IS would 'flourish' with the Taliban back in control of Afghanistan and that it would only be a matter of time before nukes were exploded in our cities https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-58781717
