Who knew the Met ride homing horses?

I guess both rider and horse are in stable condition.

What about the traffic light? How is that doing?

Yes.

how big was the trouble have only seen news clips and that can be a bit misleading , what caused the trouble ??? does it feel as if it could spiral out of control like in 2011

The fuck are they still using horses in 2020. Purely for intimidation. Cunts.

A copper got hit in the face with a plastic bottle so they replaced them with mounted cops which charged the protesters, who were shortly kettled until after midnight and let out one at a time provided they told them their name and address and were videoed, then kicked out of Westminster under threat of arrest if they return to the borough within 24 hours. The police are cunts.

MET gonna MET

MET gonna MET

Recent events have reminded me of the time I was at my aunts NYE party in Basildon, Essex and her new husband (retired MET) invited some of his police pals. Two of the coppers (one of which was a Black officer who they referred to by a nickname directly related to his race) arrived just before midnight saying they'd done 120mph with their lights on down the a127 to get there on time, they drank 3 beers a piece in about an hour then drove back up the a127 to go back on duty in central london, not one of the police people there made any kind of effort to hide how ok they all were with it from the very mixed company they were in.

let out one at a time provided they told them their name and address

..Is that legal?

No, my limited understanding is they are abusing Section 50 by claiming everyone in the kettle is commitiing social disorder (they have done this with previous demonstrations as well)

This group had people in trying to hjelp as many people as possible avoid it but think they were a bit overwhelmend:

Basildon police station used to have a bar on the top floor, heavily subsidised. My mates cousin was plod and we used to go there boozing together.
Eventually they had to close it because after shift they used to get pissed up and drive home.

Edit: they being police officers, not just my mate and his family.

Bas Vegas.

I used to work in a pub when I was eighteen, and a copper used to come in regularly, get pissed and drive home. One night he came in with his son, who was in the year below me, and ordered two pints. I refused to serve his son, he asked to speak to the landlord, who, once I told him the background, stood his ground and said he couldn't knowingly serve someone under age. The following Friday, the police set up a road block on the road out of the village and breathalysed everyone as they drove home, charging everyone who was over the limit, many of whom were drinking buddies of the policeman.

He was shot dead at Hungerford a few months later.

Bleak. Maybe faulty memory, but I thought until the mid-nineties it was legal to buy alcoholic drinks for kids (over 16) if you were responsible for them?

You could have a pint with a meal from 16 to 18, has that changed? Me and my mates were in the pub from the age of 14, sometimes with our teachers!! Different times...

Only with a meal I think.

I don't think that was ever actually a thing. People just thought it was.

Yeah, that's still a thing, can't buy it but can be bought it if you're actually eating at a table, no spirits I think

We had a couple of very approachable teachers you could usually find outside school hours in the pub if you wanted to but they were often busy - one (Biology) playing pool and the other (English lit.) marking our school work.

Our youth workers used to take us to the pub (also at 14). They said we weren't allowed to (try to) buy booze, but usually one of them could be persuaded.

NI police is charging the organisers of the NI blm protests.

Now the law here on any protests is super strict (you have to get permission in advance) and they let the first protests slide, so they haven't much of a choice with the lockdown rules and that, but also shit for the organisers.

Lots of protestors fined including people that did keep their distance. Nobody arrested or kettled from what I've read so far on social media.
