United Kingdom VII: Taking Pride in Your Success

[QualityChimp]

In light of the police investigating the police and finding the police acted appropriately at the Sarah Everard vigil and the Government investigating the Government and finding no racism in the government, I'm pleased to announce my report into myself has revealed not only am I a devilishly handsome and slender dude, I'm a shining example to others as to what a devilishly handsome and slender dude should look like.

Thing is, the police probably did act "appropriately", because "appropriately" probably just means "within their defined rules of conduct". It doesn't mean they acted well.

[QualityChimp]

Yes, and I fall within my own parameters of what a devilishly handsome and slender dude should look like.

The point is, they shouldn't be reviewing themselves.

[Asura]

The point is, they shouldn't be reviewing themselves.

If I sounded like I was defending them, then that wasn't my intent and I apologise for the misunderstanding. They absolutely should not be reviewing their own conduct.

Wasn't this investigated by the IPCC?? Independent means independent doesn't it?

Ho-ho! Chortle. Of course, coppers investigating other coppers sounds just like the sort of thing that inspires total belief that they will get to the bottom of things unencumbered by a sense of loyalty, collegial pressure, management pressure, that "them-against-us" mentality of The Thin Blue Line, Masonic memberships, etc.

Take Laura Kunsberg the bbc's chief political editor has been shown over and over again to be heavily bias towards the conservative party. she is a close personal friend of Boris Johnson, defended Dominic Cummings road trip and has been shown in an independent study to massively favor posting even the most unsubstantiated rubbish without checking sources, shes like the 23 member of Johnson's cabinet.

Then theirs Question Time its been caught out multiple times misrepresented Tory councilors as normal members of the public and seems to give most of its airtime to angry red faced men, That famous clip of Corbyn being shouted down for not wanting to be the first person to push a button and bring about nuclear Armageddon had me completely dumbfounded in how stupid the argument was.

Still don't believe me on the bias the current chair of the board has donated over £400,000 to the Conservative Party since 2001, its rotten from the top down and needs a massive overhaul.

All the far-right nutbags are convinced that it's as Commie as Pravda...

BBC defending itself again.
Apparently this isn't news worthy.

Yeah, I defend the beeb a lot but this is an absolute joke.

The fact Johnson had an affair is not newsworthy; I could get behind that. Firstly because I honestly don't care (I just expect the worst of him by default, and him "diddling the little people" just confirms what I kinda expect so no change there) but secondly because it requires you imagine, just for a moment, Boris Johnson having sex. And I say this as a balding, out of shape guy myself; no-one wants to imagine that.

But the fact that she benefited from this in ways that expose Johnson as corrupt absolutely is newsworthy, and it's prepostorous they aren't covering it more.

Imagine the air time given to it if Corbyn had *checks notes* done anything.

They probably gave more coverage to Trump ****ing that pornstar, and he wasn't even part of our government.
