In the news

The Home Office secretly acquired sensitive data, showing the nationality of people sleeping rough on the streets, in order to remove them from Britain, the Observer can reveal.

Just to be clear, the multiple laws I am referring to would be lack of brakes and killing people. There are clear laws about both lol
sos for teh mix up

The jury is going to decide whether he has broken any other law than the one about riding brakeless, which nobody is contesting. Until then, he gets the presumption of innocence.

Thanks.

@übé®_grübé® thanks too.

If it had failed its MOT because of faulty brakes but was still out on the road there probably would be a trial. It's not the general point there was something wrong with the vehicle, it's that the thing that's wrong with the vehicle led to the death.

In relation to the current brake discussion - if there are any legal types here, could you have a read through this -

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/198/regulation/6/made

My reading (which is likely wrong) is that, if the bicycle was 'home built', it does not require brakes. If it was 'supplied' it does. Am I missing something?

CONSUMER PROTECTION - The Pedal Bicycles (Safety) Regulations 2010

What you have there are the laws/regulations that suppliers/sellers (new) are required to abide by. Not Joe Public.

Any idea where the legislation is that states you need brakes?

Disregard above I think I found it

Thanks

No, you're quite right. That is the official stance we must take.
Individually of course we give away our own opinions, its that I'm failing to clear up.

In respect to all involved, including Charles, I'll stop playing Judge, Jury and Executioner.

Our individual opinions count for shit. It's the opinion of the twelve chosen to form a single collective opinion that matters now.

What is going on in Cromer ?

Some travellers moved in nearby, whole town shat themselves and closed everything.

They are filming a sequel to that hot fuzz documentary film

A none story
It's august

world war 3 just started

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUQGH_9vfX8

chinese and indian troops going at each other with kicks, punches and stones

was kind of expecting a nuke or some high tech weaponry but stones seem to be the weapon of choice

The men on that border don't have guns in a bid to stop skirmishes like this turning into, ahem, 'a shooting war'.

Stones means they're really going for it.

Here's a bit of milder jostling:

So WW3 must be what's going on in Congo then.

Meanwhile in Bideford, Cornwall

Fake news. Sad!

Isn't Bideford in Devon?

Are you accusing the Sunday Sport of sloppy journalism?
