In less febrile times, the police’s behaviour in Operation Midland ought to be a national scandal:

Oh and first like Boris!
The replies to this!!
Interesting, but depressing thread header. Thanks Cyclefree.
What we need is a powerhouse intellect with a passion for reform and an eye for detail in the position of Home Secretary. Somebody who will get under the bonnet and fix the sort of things the header refers to.
In the meantime we struggle on.

It's well above what most Brits earn.
I'm struggling to think of a korma back.
So it is very high skilled, highly qualified she's talking about.
I wonder whether she will change her mind when she realises how many maths teachers on around 23 are from Eastern Europe?
Miss Cyclefree, well, quite. The police have not covered themselves in glory. Again.
Which does tie in rather well with this paper here

For starters, her own seat is looking very shaky, so she’ll be distracted by local firefighting.
The current government are the latest variants of a liberal elite who are trying to arrest the decline of civilisation by pandering to the mob. This is a story that rarely ends well, as history attests.
How fortunate that Labour has just such a person raring to go!
I was misunderstanding the policy. Was imagining the following conversation between a migrant waiter and his boss.
"I need a pay rise."
"Sorry, Viktor, £22k is the going rate."
"Not now it isn't. I have to earn £36k if I want to live here. It's the law."
padom.
Scotland remaining a one-party state isn't the worst thing in the world for the Tories. If Scotland stays in the union, SNP domination makes a Labour majority very difficult. If the SNP takes Scotland out, then even the current dire Tory parliamentary position magically becomes an overall majority...
The reality is they will offer 16k in the black economy and we will lose all tax and NI contributions from them.
On the other hand, I support the W series in racing ...
(I do see a big difference between the two. We've just had a female PM, for instance.)
And I'm certain that many of those who came across from Uganda and elsewhere in East Africa didn't have jobs that fetched home that sort of money.
Interesting tie in of course, with the excellent header; get your facts right before taking someone into Court!
Well, gosh!
Have you ever looked at the Ministers for Science?
Rummaging through the appointments of the Labour & Tory & Coalition even SNP Govts, I do not think there has EVER been a Minister for Science who has any training in science.
Training in Modern History or PPE or Politics or Sociology, yes.
Training in Science, no.
In Wales, we have Dim Kirsty as Minister for Science. She has a degree in American Studies. In Scotland, Richard Lochhead has a degree in politics. In England, Jo Johnson has a degree in Modern History.
Because I sense the detail is secondary to the title. So long as the new policy is called that, it will get the wholehearted approval of the target audience. It sounds clever - 'points' and 'system' - and it sounds anglo/white and not European and rather exclusive since the destination is a long way away - 'Australian style'.
So, perfect, as demonstrated time and again in focus groups up and down the country. 'Australian style points system' - just the phrase - is enough to get the room purring.
Sad truth is, though, that we’ve plenty of women MPs every bit as useless as the men.
Another indication of how gullible Brexiteers are.
I too would be very happy to lead a unity government.
White Rabbits would, of course, step up to lead the nation through a difficult time.
I would get exactly what I want, of course, while everyone else would join in a spirit of compromise
'PRITI Patel will be challenged this week to honour her promise to restore "integrity" to Britain's immigration system by insisting all immigrant workers must earn at least £36,700 after Brexit.
The Home Secretary will be urged to raise the proposed £30,000 minimum salary threshold for all new foreign workers to protect lower-paid British workers.'
Although he stood down in 2015. There must be others...
I think almost nobody could afford to be a practitioner of criminal law without either a large private income, or without cross-subsidising it from more lucrative areas of work.
The MPs are grossly unrepresentative. Of course, this is often discussed in terms of gender or ethnicity, but there are also many other & equally important ways that the MPs are grossly unrepresentative.
Lawyers & barristers in general are over-represented in Parliament, so I am not hugely sympathetic to Cyclefree's grumble.
A Minister for Science could be in the House of Lords, rather than Commons, and so parties could appoint trained scientists by ennobling them.
In my opinion, the Secretary of State for Energy & Climate Change should also be a trained scientist.
I can't help but think that the problem is the system whereby the politicians - whether make or female - get chosen, rather than the gender itself. It's almost as though it's designed to come up with incompetents. Or that, as you go up the greasy pole of politics, you become more incompetent. Or in the glare of the modern media, it's near;y impossible to appear competent ...
The Greens ran Brighton Council from 2011 to 2015.
She did not mention this in her 2015 election literature and distanced herself from the feck-up the Greens made in running the Council.
Nothing to do with me, she said.

But when they get it wrong, it matters more as their role of 'scientist' gives their inaccuracies credence.
I'd argue that what matters more is the ability to detect b/s and to understand priorities - especially in the long term.
