It's alright - I once tried to explain Salford to one of my Ag students (they had suspected that I wasn't from a farming background). When I said that It could be a tad....rough - she replied that it probably wasn't as rough as Warminster........

No, I understand. One lad came to work for me, great worker, great timekeeper, but a sad angry man. Used as a punchbag at the age of ten by his drunk father to show off to his friends, locked in the house for 48hrs regularly while his parents went out on the pee, unable to run away because his dad would start on his younger brother...... Ended up in jail, picked up a heroin habit, sent back to jail for burglaryto feed his habit.....
Anyway he went to rehab and got clean, ended up working for me for 8 years, but I could never really help him, the damage was too deep. His brother has multiple problems too, all caused by the people who were supposed to be caring for them.
Incidentally I live in one of the most deprived areas of Scotland, so I had a good idea of what a bad childhood and useless parenting looked like.

Too true, and easy to be wise after the event too. But explicit written instructions with checklist would have been done to the letter, from my experience with similar situations.

Oh I see, silly of them not to provide laminated checklists and bullit points on how to give some feed to an animal. I take it by that attitude these same people need to be told to open a tin of dog food before they give it to fido.

Yep agree riots and looting are coming... there is now a generation of youth who have been told for a 2 months that they will not suffer serious illness from the virus but have now lost their jobs and have lots and time, little money and no respect for law and order. Also not helping are news reporting that the police are openly saying they doubt that they can adequately enforce the new rules The could at least tried to bluff it out for a few days and hope people cooperated rather that openly admit that the rules can not be enforced!!

The army are about to be deployed, one lot from round here are going to Birmingham, had all their kit packed and checked today by all accounts froma chap who is a mechanic there, any looting shoot on sight wont take many before the message get through

Has Boris really granted the power of judge, jury and executioner to individual soldiers? I doubt it and I doubt even more that the army wants such powers.

There‘s not a fu.cking chance soldiers will “shoot on sight”. They couldn’t even do that to know players in NI.

Too true. The army are supporting civilians in a few ways already - delivery of things to hospitals etc.

It would be funny to see the army doing stop and search .. it needs to be done anyway to stop the drugs trade.

Rather than shoot first .. lets see them strip search the knobs .. maybe a quick hose off with a fire hydrant make sure they aren't contaminated.

It would be a very bad idea which is why we have formalised the prosecution process to such a degree in the west.

And suppose they recognise you as a knob?

We all know how well it works too

Pretty sure all drug dealers are knobs and I would suggest all those flouting isloation are also knobs.

Personally I couldn't give a toss what you think of me.

Nothing is perfect but generally speaking it's not too bad.

You do do a lot of tossing though.
