Covert government strategy to install electronic surveillance in shops raises issues around bias...

Not normally a fan of the Guardian but good for them in regards the article. We are already subject to a ridiculous amount of surveillance as it is. The sentencing that we see is utterly pathetic so in reality why the obsession with cameras.

Watched a documentary last night about physical attacks on police officers and as I’ve said the punishments were utterly derisory.

Articulate as always, prior to the so called “ pandemic “ I never had a great deal of time for him but the guy speaks more sense than 99% of our politicians.

quite a few years ago one of the properties i looked after in the bonfire heap was a large paw print much bigger than a Alsatian then a few weeks later i was taking to the local game keepers and he reckoned he was stalked by something one night in the dark and had to walk backwards to his truck but he could not see what it was.

Please rank in order of credibility;-

 

UFOs
Loch Ness Monster
Ghosts

QAnon/Global Cabal/New World Order
Big cats in Britain
Yeti

 

Personally, I'd put UFOs somewhere around the middle.

 

 

Not sure how to rank them tbh, probably all at the bottom, is there any credible evidence for any of them?

 

Ufos are real but it doesn't mean that they are aliens. Aliens I think are very much real but very, very far away so it's sort of irrelevant, unfortunately.

 

Big cats, yetis, you would have thought that someone would have caught a decent bit of video evidence or at least shot one by now.

The Scottish Nazi Party yet again wanting to control every aspect of people’s existence. “Freedom” not bloody likely with this bunch of fools and the green idiots backing them.

Interesting to see the different opinions on this. What are your thoughts on Nessie?

Not a believer but I rank it less unlikely than the others as they did find a small version in the de-extinction of the Coelacanth fish also the flores ape man was abit like a real life mini Yeti than went extinct only 50,000 yrs ago.

Well I’d say anyone who survived those early days deserves every penny they got. The casualty statistics for that period make for grim reading. 1600-1700 a day at min for sat, the difference is I guess the cost of everything has rocketed and the tax bands have stayed put for years so the  benefits are not as great as they maybe once were. I mentioned in a previous post that I know a good few guys who are paying 60-80k a year in tax for the privilege of being locked in the bin for weeks on end, thanks to our ridiculous tax code you have guys onboard the vessel going tax free due to seaman’s regs ( even though they are not vessel crew )  but divers or dive supvs don’t qualify. 
 

This just popped up on FB coincidentally - my mate’s dad is on the left.

I’ve seen a big cat, black, labrador size.

Broad daylight.

That was in Kent on Wye Downs.

 

A few mates back home have seen similar, keepers and farmers, not the sort of people to get them mixed up with badgers etc.
