    Protecting is one thing, dishing out retribution is surely another?

    [News] The police.. and not the one with Sting in it

    Can't speak for everyone, but pretty sure most on here who are condemning the kick and stamp have not forgotten the preceding violence. I, and I suspect many others, are just saying that whatever happened before the scenes in the clip doesn't legitimise what the officer did.

    [News] The police.. and not the one with Sting in it

    Blimey, bit tetchy!! For the record, I'm not in charge of debate. I was however responding to your first post which seemed to be all about trying to possibly justify the level of violence used by the officer on the basis that we had only seen a short 'clip' and that we didn't therefore know...

    [News] The police.. and not the one with Sting in it

    We are not talking about other situations, we are discussing what is in this video. What happened in the moments before is to a large degree, irrelevant. The man was on the floor, face down. The officer then approaches him, stamps on his head and then kicks him in the head. To offer a...

    [News] The police.. and not the one with Sting in it

    You really think that stamping on someone's head or kicking them in the head could be considered a reasonable use of force? There's no may or may not about it.

    [News] The police.. and not the one with Sting in it

    I suggest you watch the 'clip' again then. The guy is on the ground, face down and the only person near him at that point looks like an female kneeling down. There is no officer within arms reach let alone close enough to grab a weapon. We know that 3 female officers were attacked prior to...

    [Film] Actor Stanley Baker.

    Thanks to google you can prove Baxter is Welsh but can't use google to identify Baker! I'm sure if you look on IMDB you'll recognise quite a few of his films.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Have to say I assumed the same. We haven't had child benefit for 4 years anyway so didn't dig deep into the detail.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Isn't it a bit bizarre that all those rallying on behalf of keeping the cap believe that by removing it, couples will suddenly start going at it like rabbits and produce families of 5 or 6 or 7 kids just to get their hands on the extra dough! I don't believe it will change the behaviour of...

    I'm intrigued as to how you arrive at that conclusion. Just because it's a forum about the Albion doesn't mean it is restricted to the boundaries of the unitary authority. That said, Kempton was for many years a conservative seat (up to the Blair years) with Andrew Bowden and then again with...

    [Albion] Verbruggen out for up to 6 weeks

    There's an easy way to avoid this type of situation. Buy crap players and languish in League 2!!!

    If memory serves me correctly, Swindon fans might not have a good word to say about 'Mike'. El Presidente might have more on the issue1

    We got a points deduction that nearly saw us relegated! Compare that to the imagination for the campaign for Falmer, valentine cards, standing for election etc.

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    That's a big assumption that a minister for Net Zero is the result of JSO rather than all the scientific evidence that has been produced over the last couple of decades. The only reason we didn't have one under the previous administration is that Net Zero doesn't make money!

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Just for a point of order, the reason Birmingham, which tories latch on to as an example, went bust was due to losing a long running equal pay case. That tipped them over the edge.
