That's not a Yorkshire accent, it's Manc - which is completely different.

[@FRESHNESSSSSS]

It's got a few little Yorkshire inflections in there, to be fair to him. "on't" and "in't" used multiple times. I'd guess some halfway point like Huddersfield. Halifax or Rochdale where the accents bleed into each other.

I'd have that pegged as Manc any day, but to be fair, there are a few Yorkshire inflections in there. To be even fairer, I was born in Yorkshire to a Yorkshire Dad and Derbyshire Mum and brought up in Nottinghamshire . My accent is all over the place!!

[@theaces3697]

the police in that video were doing a welfare check on the children from the nursery, considering the man said something like "he'd spend 20 hours in jail AGAIN as i always do" this is clearly not his first run in with police so it was a welfare check against someone who has been jailed before

[@lillired857]

Doesnt follow he has done anything, anyone can accuse anyone else of anything at any time, police will treat you like a criminal. My ex was accused of something he couldnt possibly have done and they chucked him in a meat wagon(He's disabled btw)in front of all his neighbours, then he had to persue an apology later. He was placed in a cell overnight, when a simple call would have cleared him in seconds!

[@mariahoulihan9483]

yes.. detention in Police Custody for that long is for a reason and has to be lawfully written up with good reason. He's a bad un by his own behaviour in this video.

[@hobi1kenobi112]

The Yorkshire and Manc accents are similar because they're both northern cousins, but there are inflections/nuances of speech that are different. I would describe a Manc accent in its simplest terms as a northerner trying to sound earnest all the time. With sentence endings turned into questions. Whether they're questions or not. The more you listen to each of them the more you'll learn to tell them apart.

absolutelyh right plus.. a warrant is not always necessary.. I am not saying they didnt need one here but he is a trouble maker... listen to him, lol. In certain cirumstanes police can talk to you. listen to him. saying he wants the police's children checked. He is an antagonistic man.. certainly sounds like a welfare vsit to me and if they suspect someone is in danger.. theyu c an break in. under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. A search without warrant can also take place if a person is under arrest biut only for things to do with that offence.. not a speculative search. By being so argumentatrive and not co operating he is making it harder on himself.. they have come in a group, I have no doubt at all, due to information he is volitile.. sound by his behaviour. He does not know the law.. sorry to say. he thinks he does. he does not. totally agree.

[@josmith9662]

My guess is that they get free child care and he goes into the nursery making demands, citing the law and genarally being obnoxious. He might be in the right and the nursery staff are on drugs...... that is the problem with Karen type videos, easily manipulated to suit agendas and preconceptions.

[@zo7034]

Exactly this, police in the UK dont need a warrant, which I think throws off some americans. Also the 'protection against tyranny' stuff is laughable. The chap in the video doesn't know the law, is probably a karen to the nursery and by the sounds of it, his kids need to be out of his house.

[@mariahoulihan9483]

yeo,, but warrants are used in some circumstances. I wouldn;t expect one in this instance.. a welfare visit. Most people.. REASONABLE people.. would let them in to checkk on children. He is an out and out trouble maker who is volitile.. of course the check has to be made.Big red flag when someone reacts like him. Sadly, people believe people like him. The only good outcome is if the child is ok.. nothing else should matter to him.

Yes it’s true Joel we have a lot of seagulls around the coastline of Britain, in particular seaside towns. So, next time you pass through a seaside town in the U.K, filming your vlogs, and you decide to eat some fish and chips, walking down the narrow streets or along the seafront, make sure you protect your fish and chips at all costs, cos those mischievous seagulls will be gunning for your food. Also, they might drop a surprise too, but according to superstition that brings good luck. 😂 As for British police, our police constabulary act more like social workers than actual police officers, enforcing the law.

The onus would be on the police to investiagte the claims made in the allegation by gathering evidence from the claimant (ie. the recording referred to in the clip). The police should then use disgression based on this evidence before proceding to interview and suspects. If it is a serious allegation the police can refer to the CPS to adcertain the likelihood of a prosecution. Often they ignore all of these procedures and simply harrass people.

You actually don’t need a warrant to enter a property as an officer. There is section 17 of PACE that allows officers to break your door down to prevent loss of life or limb, also to search your property for people of concern. People watch too many films.

Joel, when you have 22,000 miles of coastline, you have loads of caravan parks that would be largely empty outside the peak holiday season, unless you do really good, cut-price deals - which attract less sophisticated families like glue... Likewise, holiday camps with chalets! If it's not families, its old folks who like nothing better than daytime cash bingo and a spot of dodgy evening entertainment! Mind you, they're okay for groups of friends whose main aim is to get pissed every night and have a laugh, too - I speak from personal experience and would send you the photographs, alas, KZbin would never cope with that... I mean, drunk people going around semi-naked with things written on their backs by their friends in chocolate body paint, while they were asleep - or middle-aged women with no teeth, responding to toilet brushes that just happened to find their way inside their particular sleeping bags as they were about to go to bed..

They are all warranted officers and if they have genuine concern that the children are in danger, then they can enter the property with force under Section 17 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.
