If you’re not prepared to tackle the scrotes then push over the getaway bikes, they will be more interested in being able to get away than continuing the thievery, but if no one is prepared to intervene then difficult to criticise others actions or police response

Another point is that the scrotes would probably be able to take you to court as they could probably sue you also.
You see some right horror stories of people losing their jobs, getting sued and having to pay these people.
But, I’d like to think that I’d do something. Although, unless I’m in that situation, i don’t honestly know.

To be fair, people are talking about him. But perhaps not quite the way the Mail wants us to think.
Just thinking out loud, but what if we all stopped putting the worst of humanity in charge of everything? Armies, governments, news media…

Indeed. And those who work for them. And those who just want power for its own sake, who are the ones least fit to be given it.

There was a saying or quote. If you want to see a persons true character, give them power.

Must be true. He has never told a lie, EVER.
Just playing devil’s advocate…feel free to shoot me down if it makes you feel better…but…
Starting from local government…which, for reasons I simply don’t understand apparently reflects what people think about ‘the’ government…but anyway…but…to rid our local councils of the scourge of “politics” we could, as a society, choose to have independents stand. But…they don’t. Or…they do…but not in every or enough wards to sway a local council. Whose fault is that? This then surely extrapolates out to MPs and, surely therefore the political makeup?
I have, rightly so, been shouted down for moaning from the sidelines…but I am simply not interested enough to put my own hwad above the parapet. Should we shoot down those that do?
Don’t get me wrong…I simply can not believe the “quality” or lack there of, of our political elite…but there seems no alternative.
We dont need any of them any more. In an instant response technological age, representation is no longer required, only trust worthy information and an administration. Here’s what Switzerland does …
How long will we wait for our MPs to vote for their own redundancy?

In an age of hacking, would you trust the vote yes/no button?
It’s an interesting concept, I have often thought about similar, and the conundrum that no one is going to vote to change the system, the system that bought them to power…as the current system clearly works for them!
However, I did think…that it “just” needs a single manifesto party to run…and their whole manifesto is, once in powe they will change the system…and once changed, will stand down/new election etc.
Might that work?
It won’t of course, as it’s money that rules now.
Like the Proportional representation system, even when cleggs lib dems shored up camerons tories they weren’t able to secure a deal from the tories for P.R. as Cameron knew it would mean the death of the Conservative party forever.
The Swiss have many methods and can have up to 14 referendums a year. some times its a vote on paper sometimes its hand up in the town Square. We dont need to send someone to represent us now cos we can view proceedings live.
This is very true.
Can I hijack your concept and say that if the single manifesto Party wins a huge majority, then we should consider the proposition past.
So Scotland should now be independent!?!

Not sure a biker forum is the right place to discuss Scotland’s independence. However from an English man’s perspective, if that is what the people of Scotland want, just get on with it. Of course you need a democratic vote of all the people, which to date has not been achieved.
I agree that it’s not really a matter for discussion here, and I don’t propose to get into a debate on the merits. Opinion polls in Scotland currently show about 48% overall support for independence, with a pronounced unionist majority amongst the over 65s. Younger age groups have a clear majority in favour. Once the current oldies have passed on, it will happen.
