I've been on Clifton Suspension Bridge in the middle of a pedestrian vibration event. They used to have a small music festival every year in Ashton Court. It was free for a while and pretty decent too. Anyway after it finished on one night, thousands of people flocked back over towards Clifton. The bridge was rammed to the point of only being able to shuffle along. The bridge was swaying quite a lot all the way across. They started blocking the bridge at the end of the festival after that.
I also knew someone who did suicide research around the bridge. What he found was that a higher barrier along the length of the bridge reduced suicides and suicide attempts.

Brain of Britain, right there. Who would have imagined that there would be extensive CCTV coverage on a bridge famous for suicides?

Of course, he may not have been in UK long enough to be aware of these things.

People forget, behind the glitz and glamour Dubai is still part of the UAE, a theocratic dictatorship with some very Draconian laws and a totally alien culture to those used to the West. While it's a nice place in some respects, they won't hesitate to jail you and you might have no idea why or that you even had a trial. I don’t even understand why people like it outside of that. I went once for work and found it fake and very superficial (the people.) I much preferred Doha, Qatar. |

Nurse! (Side note: if men must be criminals (as so many of them seem to enjoy being) it’s preferable they are dumb. It makes them easier to catch.) |

A terrible experience for this young woman. It neatly illustrates the difference in actual risks and perceived risks to personal safety between men and women. "The train carriage was practically empty so she thought it seemed odd when someone sat opposite her. Describing the incident, she said: "He passed me a note, I thought it’s just some piece of paper, I didn’t even look what he was doing. I ignored it. "Then he pushed it forward for me to read and when I read it, it was something along the lines of 'get off the train with me, be quiet, don’t do anything, get off the train with me and nothing will happen to anybody'. Maria continued: "He had a rope and replica gun on him. As I read that note it was only then I looked at him. My first impression was that: he is huge, I have no chance. "There was this moment when I was frozen and scared. But it was also disbelief, I thought maybe he is joking, it is absurd, but he started approaching me with his hands, he held his hand on my knee and he was indicating that 'we are going to go'." www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4ngd4e7dmpo |

Nurse! (Side note: if criminals must exist it’s preferably they are dumb. It makes them easier to catch.) I think Labour would disagree, as they are having problems housing so many errr .... thick people. Yes, that's it. Crimewatch's wall of wanted thickies. You could tell by looking at them, how many of them were thick. You're thick too, aren't you? |

I was once told by an experienced Prison Officer that the most dominant trait amongst prisoners was total selfishness. It always stuck with me, that.

"'Lack of punishment was only encouragement'
Plumb, who is now 37, received a suspended sentence for the attempted kidnaps.
Two years later he terrified two 16-year-old girls when he tied their wrists up and forced them into the store room of a shop."
Ha! I knew it would be that sort of caper. If only they'd thought to walk a bit faster, they'd have been home free.

Anyway, a suspended sentence for attempted kidnapping? That's pathetic. |

I see Mr. Blobby's being sentenced today. I hope they shoot the useless tosser, but they won't. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/crgk6k3x2l5tIt will seem a bit odd if they lock him up for some Internet fantasy wankery against a sleb, when they did fuckall before. |

Maybe a better sentence would be that he had to be tagged, attend some therapy sessions and lose 10 stones.

Yeah why hasn't Starmer erased the past and saved his previous victims from trauma?

Left wing SNP scum. "A former SNP equalities officer who told how he wanted to “beat the f---” out of gender critical feminists is a “dangerous” predator, prosecutors have said after he was jailed for a series of sexual assaults. Cameron Downing, who was an official in the SNP’s London branch, was sentenced to six years in prison at the High Court in Edinburgh. He was convicted of sexually assaulting six young adults and physically assaulting two women. The 24-year-old targeted his victims at addresses in the Edinburgh, Glasgow and Falkirk areas between Hogmanay in 2016 and April 2021. Downing was also found guilty of domestic abuse, which involved conduct spanning several months, where he threatened to falsely accuse a former partner of raping him. He said he would tell the man’s friends, family and employers before blackmailing the victim to be in a sexual relationship with him." www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/07/16/former-snp-equalities-officer-jailed-sexual-assaults/ |

Worth repeating: "A former SNP equalities officer who told how he wanted to “beat the f---” out of gender critical feminists is a “dangerous” predator, prosecutors have said after he was jailed for a series of sexual assaults."
