No, I am saying that veering from the action of simply walking as you normally would is viewed with suspicion, because they have no idea where you have gone. Dropping further back and moving out of view, only to find you come back into view later on, can make somebody who feels threatened even more so. There is no correct action to alleviate the issue.

I should also that this is not a situation I find myself in these days. I don't work shifts anymore, so rarely find that I am walking home in the dark. It was something that was quite common in my younger days. Mainly due to where I lived at the time and the fact I was not a car driver.

~~He already knows the vote will pass.~~ This is just narrative to make it look like the Tories are unified and the infighting has stopped. The reality is that the factions, that were gunning for him, could not decide on who they wanted to replace him. This is nothing more than a stay until they can get themselves sorted out.

The ERG are pushing their version of a narrative by publicly stating that the bill should be pull for amendments. This is so they can say I told you so when it fails at a later date. There is nothing they can do to make the bill pass without breaking international laws or agreements. This specifically threatens the TCA with the EU. Who only happens to be our largest trading partner. When the bill gets to the Lords, they will reject it. It is not part of any manifesto they were voted in with.

Just don't put the pop corn away just yet.

I have seen a couple of girls looking stuck and helped them out. I made sure they took a picture of the reg and passed it on. To me it makes sense, increasing the chances of someone being found out makes them less likely to be a danger.

My pet hate is realising I am walking behind some girl who has started looking nervous. There is very little you can do to alleviate it. If you slow down it looks suspicious, and they don't want you near them so it is hard to walk past to get in front. It is a price most men face because of other people misgivings.

It is because funding prior to 2010 was drastically less than other areas. There is a need to let those deprived areas catch up.

The most deprived fifth of local authorities receive hourly resources that are 12% higher than areas in the most affluent fifth, after accounting for higher provider costs in London. This results from funding for deprivation, disability and additional language needs in the Early Years National Funding Formula, as well as the Early Years Pupil Premium and the Disability Access Fund.

Welcome to the UK then.

We got a good deal to make up for the failings that the Maastricht treaty dealt the UK. To be the Leader of the EU you had to be a member of the Euro and also a member of the Schengen area. This left the UK at a huge disadvantage. We would not be allowed back into the EU unless we accepted both those conditions. This would mean we are not at a disadvantage anymore. We would be joining as equal members. We could even see a UK official in charge of the EU.

The answer is very simple, work with the EU. It is what we did before we left. The numbers have gone up since then, it is bloody obvious going it alone is not helping.

Not really. There are guidelines for what devolved government can and cant make laws on. The judgement is that this Scottish legislation does not fall under them. SNP should propose the legislation change in the commons to be applicable across the whole UK, not just Scotland. They do have a considerable amount of MPs there. What is the point of having them if they only want to make changes in Scotland.

As for what the DUP is up to, this is purely party politics on the Tory side. The DUP is very much aligned with the Tory party. The Tories should be calling for a new election in Ireland. But it has to be recognised that Sinn Fein did exactly the same thing in 2017-2020. This is not how they should be working for their constituents. This is down to how the UK government applies pressure. Both parties need to find alternatives way to voice their disapproval over matters. This is not how democracies are run, this is pure blackmail and nothing else.

Spending money on giving kids school meals, hell no way. Spending millions on data collection under the pretext of protecting kids. hell yeah!

These shithouses do not give a damn about the people of the country. How long do you think it is going to be before someone gets blackmailed for voting for the wrong party and being a porn watcher.

This is why we have grammar.

Didn't see it mentioned in the wiki. When the middle finger was gaining popularity, during the 80's in my circles, using the middle finger folded in half was a thing mentioned. I guess with the description in the wiki that makes sense as it infers that the person being insult has a tiny dick. I remember someone mentioning it was a Greek insult, but never knew it had a history. TIL.

Now I get spammed by a hundred Greeks telling me they have never heard of it. :) In my defence, we had no internet when I was young. There was no way to check on BS Vs fact.

The BBC likes to tow the government line. Sunak has his MPs snapping at his heals and Johnson has been giving evidence with the covid inquiry. Anything to take the eye off the ball. Any other time and this would not even get a mention because it actually shames the government. Just not as badly as the other instances I mentioned.
