An example of the police doing something I actually agree with. Loads of speeding motorists around ATM.

...and for balance, being total cunts

Bastani was found guilty of attacking a HSBC bank in London in March 2011 during an anti-austerity protest by using a wheelie bin to break the door open, before waving other protesters inside. Bastani was convicted of a public order offence, given a suspended prison sentence and ordered to perform community service.
Nice bloke

He appears to be a total dick.
Can't fault the Police on that one.

A 90-year-old woman hopes to climb the equivalent of a Highland mountain by taking repeated trips up and down her stairs, to raise money for the NHS.
Next up, 100 year old man to dig own grave to raise money for essential NHS equipment UK government didn’t bother to buy. Rule Britannia!

It’s also not Aaron Bastani in the video.

We're nearly up to 15,000 deaths, including at least two sad stories I've seen of mothers dying shortly after the birth of their children.

Also, this is interesting on fruit-picking:

Explain how Aaron Bastani’s offence back in 2011, undermines a video showing police being overbearing, aggressive contradictory assholes in 2020?
It doesn't.
However, whatever your position might be on the Police, they have an important and difficult job to do stopping idiots doing idiot things during the current crisis.
In that context, someone being a dick with a mobile needs to be fucked-off, sharpish. Were it not for the current circumstances, I'd be all for being a bit more tolerant.

They absolutely do have a difficult job, but let’s not pretend that situation was by any measure difficult. Someone videoing on their phone does not automatically equate to dicking about because we’re in the midst of a pandemic. That person happens to be a journalist and they were standing alone and well within a safe distance of the incident. They are within their rights to video so there really is no need for a handful of police officers to get out of their vehicle, crowd round and start yelling in that persons face, ironically about saving lives, as they break all semblance of social distancing.

Nah. They need to be professional and aware of the rules. Especially as they're responsible for enforcing them.

He does. He was planning on running the business from there, I'd been in contact with him and he was telling me his plans, but then, gradually, all channels went quiet, i.e. website (which has gone), no longer posting on Instagram or Facebook.
I keep meaning to drop him a line and see how he is.

It's for NHS Charities Together, not for the NHS. The money doesn't get spent on PPE, salaries or equipment (unless it's funding something very specific via a specific charity).
https://www.nhscharitiestogether.co.uk/
The charity raised ~£450m last year, about 0.3% of last years' NHS budget. Yes, in an ideal world the Government would cover the majority of this, but since some of the money goes on things like Christmas lunches for NHS staff you'd probably get some mad frothing bunch of wankers complaining about this coming out of Government funds.
Also, some people have droned on about stairs being dangerous, especially for old people, but she's doing it over the course of 2 months so it's 4-5 trips up the stairs a day which is probably not far off what she does in a normal day.
(Sorry, sounds grumpy about an elderly woman doing this but people are getting very het up about it for all of the wrong reasons.)
