I got banned by reddit by saying it wouldn’t be a shame if the idiots who ride motorbikes on pavements in towns and nearly hit people ended up being hit by a bus

When I was in the police, over 10 years ago.

I used to love a good scrap

They absolutely are.

I’m on 50k, wife is on a similar amount. My wife and I have a nice house, we can go on a nice holiday once or twice a year, we have newish cars and can afford savings/hobbies etc.

We feel very fortunate, there are many people who have less than us

I cannot fathom having a billion quid, a being two people living in a fucking mansion and having a private jet/yacht/supercars/whores and thinking “huh I really wish I had more”.

Cunts.

Last week he didn’t order the first strike.

At the beginning of the week he didn’t order the second strike.

Today he ordered the second strike but didn’t see any survivors.

America is fucked. Any other timeline the FBI and MPs would be marching into the Pentagon and arresting him and everyone else involved for murder

When Ukraine was invaded it had an army of approx 150k troops. Several hundred tanks. A couple of hundred aircraft. A couple of hundred rocket projectors.

None of it newer than the early 90s.

Russia had nearly a million troops, 12,000 tanks, several thousand aircraft, thousands and thousands of rocket projectors and heavy artillery.

And nuclear weapons.

Tell us again how they were evenly matched?

By any normal metric, Russia should have steamrolled Ukraine. The fact it didnt, even with that huge advantage means that any major european power (UK/France/Germany/Poland) could fend them off quite easily, even alone. But we aren’t alone, Russia would be trying to take us all off the board.

Politicians should not be allowed to appoint or fire judges.

Its basic common sense.

The fact they followed his orders means I don’t give a fuck if he’s passing the buck. They could have refused. The officers passing on the order could have refused.

The pilots could have refused.

The guy with his finger on the trigger could have refused.

But none of them did.

Every single person involved, from Hegseth, right down to the guy who pulled the trigger should be on trial right now.

I do sometimes. But theres an author I like who’s books are only on Amazon (I’ve asked him to widen availability), and amazon the absolute cunts turned off the ability to download Kindle books so you can convert them

Thank you

For kobo users, where do you get your books now that Amazon has stopped you from downloading and converting into epub?

And they dare criticise us(the UK)

Just a reminder that whilst Trump is blocking migrants from “poor” countries, the architect and participants of 9/11 were all from Saudi Arabia, one of the wealthiest nations on Earth.

Don’t feel guilty for seeing the signs and getting out whilst you still can. Millions of people throughout history haven’t been as fortunate.

Once Trump and Project 2025 is done with immigrants you can bet your arse the pendulum will swing onto LGBQT people in earnest

I’ve been with my wife since we were both 18. We had both been in relationships with other people.

We moved in together at 21 and got married at 24. Will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary in a year or so.

Before you get married, you NEED to live together for a few years first. There’s no point committing to spend the rest of your lives together if you cant cohabit.

The odds of it working at such a young age, especially if you’ve never lived together, especially if neither of you appear to have any life experience apart from one another are, frankly, slim. But good luck to you

This is utter bullshit, totally unrealistic.

Trump can’t read.

They should have waited until after Black Friday and Christmas to tell people about this scam.

Let the daft cunts waste even more of their money buying crap being sold by a paedo before telling them they’ve been scammed.

I can see the joke, but dude…

Yes, but it depends on why the data was shared and who it was sent to.

So for example (assuming you’re in the UK), you discuss a crime. The other party sends a record of your communication to the police, or HMRC or whatever.

Ordinarily under Article 14 of UK GDPR, an organisation must inform a data subject that they have received their data from elsewhere, why they have it, what they intend to do with it etc.

However, there are numerous exemptions in the Data Protection Act (particularly Part 3 - Law Enforcement) and Schedules 2, 3 and 4 that would exempt an organisation from even telling you they have your data in the first place.

However, the “personal use” aspect still stands for the originator of the data. Don’t think of personal use as an exemption. It isnt, its more accurate to say that it is beyond the scope of UK GDPR, ie it isn’t covered at all. There is no exemption because one isnt needed, GDPR simply does not cover data being processed for personal reasons.

Think of another example. We work together and in confidence you tell me about a medical condition. If you told me because we are friends, then I’m free to tell whoever I want (corporate policies aside). However if you told me because I am your manager, then when I received the information I was acting in an official capacity on behalf of the organisation. Now if I chose to share that information with Occupational Health for instance, that woild probably be lawful. However if I emailed your colleagues and told them anything other than “he will be off work because he is ill” then that woild be a breach that the company would be liable for.

Hope that helps?

Doesnt change anything though does it.
