which would explain many of their number's obsession with dressing up and torturing defenceless, non-delicious animals to death.

Alternatively, Attenborough could film those Bantu tribes that still predate on pygmies.

When I mentioned the fact that I was a MP it was suggested that if the Government gave the force some more money they might be able to get these things done more quickly.

He's probably had it put into an exclusive filing cabinet somewhere after pulling the 'don't you know who I am?' trick. Be lucky to have it renewed by next season let alone this one

*Farage said his years as Ukip leader had meant he had sacrificed much of his earning potential. “I have no regrets about being poor,” he said of his MEP’s salary. “I don’t drive smart cars, I don’t go on fancy holidays. All my money has gone on my kids’ education.”*

I think he was still making a comparison to bankers.

I reckon the buoy got picked up by an albatross.

Given the images of Buoy's that I've found, I'm now terrified of the size of that fucking albatross.

They're fully grown men you idiot.

Scale of the earth's a bit off...

Well, yes. I assume that they are tied onto the buoy for fear of the fucking huge albatross. Think how much it needs to eat to maintain its size...

"no arrests have been made"

jesus fucking christ, seriously!

Exactly. Just a quiet word in the ear of the officer on the scene and off they walk

Is there any need to arrest, surely just a summons and charge is all that's required.

Quite right. There is no power of arrest for careless driving. There is no evidence of anything else.

Surely driving at pace in Central London and then crashing into two cars would be dangerous driving, rather than careless, wouldn't it?

There is no power of arrest for careless driving

I thought that everything / anything was arrestable?

It depends on whether the police assess it to be merely 'below' or 'far below' the standard expected of a competent driver. I would say that if the witness was right in their estimate that the speed was 100mph, this would be 'far below' the applicable standard, but the police need evidence of that, e.g. speed camera data, although there may have been other aspects of the driving which clearly fell 'far below' and don't require exact measurements.

Or Daddy works for XYZ is a member of ABC would probably mean there is no speed camera evidence or eyewitnesses. I wish I would have been there :)

I wish I would have been there :)

Then the Lambo clearly wouldn't have got off so lightly.

Would the state of the cars in the crash count as evidence towards their speed? That lambo doesn't look it it was in a touch parking incident.
