Police in the UK are crap in 2018: buy a new car, dude, crash with a motorcycle and run away leaving the bike on the street helmet, the police show up after an hour call to dispatch on the radio to check numbers motorbike is stolen number plate is from a car then witnesses told they know where that kid approximately staying police do not care a provide black Mercedes number plate because some random women show up in black A class Mercedes and start asked people about kid wait second you show up 30min later you really care about this kid health status its some connection here police again do not care then another witness explains that kid acts silly already like a mile away from this accident police do not care then they have council camera overhead police do not care they just cry because is a hot summer day and they need to stay outside. Then go to the police station reception woman is hilarious she says ok this is no problem insurance pay off dude this is not about the car you have all that information and never move a finger this is not like a random kid takes her own family motorbike and done mistake it's stolen on top wrong number plates on a top act like crazy you just wait somebody kill next time in my country with all that information they find this kid in next hour we do not talk his smash his helm hard on street on some point his go same day in hospital definitely sad part this is how insurance goes up for everyone in this country because police do not move finger till somebody get injury or die.

8:46 I'm glad someone has pointed out that immigration been used as a scapegoat for all the woes of the disenfranchised people in the UK. People need to stop blaming immigration and look hard at inequality caused by the rich but also themselves in not restricting their own possibilities. Immigration is much less of a factor to inequality than what the super rich have been doing to the working class for generations and especially to the northern communities.

They blame it all on Brexit. That was never truly delivered. We got badically 5% of the promises that Brexit was supposed to bring. What annoys me, is that the situation was bad before the referendum in 2016. The UK had been going downhill since about 2005, following a boom era which lasted from 1983-2005. This boom era was based around debt, banking and finance, so ultimately the bubble was bound to burst at some point. At the same time, traditional industry and traditional education was gradually eroded. The immigration system went out of control. So, here we are.

[@shane99ca]

@Chris-m7k6x You got freedom from having your economics dictated by some unelected lager-swiller in Frankfurt, nor are your fortunes tied to economic disaster zones like Greece any longer. A union only works if members pull their weight. But there has long been a tendency to let the most powerful member do all the work, which is Trump's chief complaint about NATO. Strange how people always complain about America inserting itself where it isn't wanted, but then suddenly freak out when they propose to stop doing it.

I was not alive, but it sounds like people who fled Germany before 1940s before remainders were rounded up. It is mentally unwell released from forced institutionalization and capital punishment which led to this though. Scientific studies and quantitative data shows leftism is primarily linked to neurosis and indicators of brain damage. They embrace it and see it as a core asset to be applauded and cultivated. Luckly Brits can just grab a shovel and dig down to an ancient abandoned underground and hide out there like Christians did in Turkey until demands to diversify it. Ever look at those underground tunnels? Like Jews were doing in NYC where neighbors heard Yiddish through the walls of her basement. People would find places to escape raids and some to live. People saw this coming for years and were prepping during Obamas second term. Doomsday Bunkers and Zombie apocalypse preppers. Zombies just meant uncertainty and prepping for everything.

However, in the past few years things got worse. I moved to the US in November 2024. The US have some issues but in my sector salaries are higher than in the UK and taxes are lower. Also, the social fabric of the state I live is still good, unlike in the UK. I’m sorry but some of the cultures don’t mix well with Europeans and in London there is an increasing number of these cultures that have a negative impact on London’s culture (e.g see all the Irish pubs closing in Kilburn and being replaced by shisha shops, etc).

I phoned the police and walked back into the service station (she fled without giving me her details even though I’d asked 3 times) to inquire about the CCTV footage, they rejected me due to data protection laws and the police told me they can’t do anything about it even though they’re treating it as a drunk driver + hit & run but they’ll pass it on to traffic police. It’s been 4 months and I’ve heard nothing. On top of that, my insurance company wanted to write my car off for a dent, scratches and scrapes and told me that if I wanted to do so I would pay due to the value of the car being so old (2005).

[@MickAngelhere]

The issue is that when the cops arrest the criminals it’s the courts that simply let them off with a warning and then release them back onto the streets to do the same thing again. This happens in Australia, the cops arrest criminals, particularly teenagers who have committed serious violent crimes only to see the courts give them bail and then give them a slap on the wrist. Recently in Queensland a teenage girl was arrested after a police chase in a stolen car, turned out that she was out on bail for the fifteenth time for the same offence. In some cases the cops have to deal with an identity ideology with a certain demographic here in Australia that have a very privileged position in society compared to the rest of Australians.
