"Uhh- I need to finish this..." Smart girl. Probably should be dropped from the force immediately for that take, though. Not exactly running to the sound of the action.

Northern Ireland. The cops are doing the required work, but they are in a Republican (catholic, independentist) fiefdom (I dunno what double OB is for, some kind of Off limit?). Before the peace agreement cops were seen as unionist (protestant, pro-british) armed force and not welcomed there. Showing weapons could start a riot, and the local gang as the means to make it deadly. So official advice is to leave, but human feeling is to try to put things under control.

Usual BBC propaganda.

In what way please?🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦

[@danielingram788]

I normally don’t comment on stupid shows , but I laughed all the way through this garbage. I would make a list of idiotic nonsense , but I won’t waste the energy. Instead of viewing this piece as a drama, I see it strictly as a comedy of epic proportions. Just the most wonderful take on the land of delusion. I nominate this series as the best comedy of the year. Probably ever. The ending scene where the supervisor is yelling at the women to get out there and give backup was icing. The magnificent way that the females emotions will ultimately fix everything in an armed altercation is awe inspiring. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you perceive your mother with that worldview?

Is it women in policing (even on TV) you dont agree with?

I used to love bbc and its low quality TV series, but now it is just extreme left wing propaganda machine for me

[@aethellstan]

funny how left wingers complain about the bbc being too right wing and the right wingers complain about the bbc being too left wing. irony eh?

You've never watched question time

[@khymaaren]

@@aethellstan If you go too far in either direction, suddenly you'll find anything "less" the complete opposite. It's, in fact, ironic, sadly.

[@mrbeeoutdoors3213]

​@@khymaaren it's interesting. I think the polarisation of our nation is quite scary. I think the fringes have always existed, but I'd say the middle of the two has flattened and people have been pushed left or right. I don't think that the extremes form any sort of majority, but with the general silencing and cancelling etc, it's made it worse, not better.

[@narrativequestion]

@@mrbeeoutdoors3213 neither are peaceful or respectful. both extremes like to trample on truth and justice and happily commit crime for the so called better good.

It’s dog shit but it’s fun to laugh at.
