sharkyvilla Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 It does sound very grim. I've just started reading Luke McCallin's Gregor Reinhardt novels set in that part of the world during WWII, and dealing with the Ustase. Incredible that stuff like that was still going on into the 90s. It did allow my Dad to use the 'You get less for genocide' line on his and Mum's 41st anniversary yesterday though.

snowychap Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 On 24/03/2016 at 09:21, tonyh29 said: read a news story about some bloke arrested for a Tweet he'd made More on this (from the Grauniad): Quote A man who was mistakenly charged by the Metropolitan police after claiming on Twitter that he confronted a Muslim woman over the Brussels terror attacks has said he will launch a formal complaint against the force. Matthew Doyle, from south Croydon, provoked anger on social media after he tweeted about the encounter with the woman. He said the woman gave a “mealy-mouthed” response after he demanded she “explain” the Brussels attacks. Police charged him with an offence under the Public Order Act on Thursday. But on Friday night they were forced to withdraw the accusations, admitting they had no power to charge him in the first place. Doyle said police had bowed to a social media row. “In reality, the Met added ammunition to whatever I said,” he said. “Concurrently, their press office should be cautioned about issuing largely self-congratulatory statements and then being forced to backtrack.” He added: “They smelt blood, but got egg on both their face and reputation.” Doyle had been due to appear at Camberwell Green magistrates court on Friday. But the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) later confirmed it did not agree with the Met’s decision, adding that the force did not have the legal power to bring the charges. Police then released a second statement announcing that the charges against Doyle had been dropped and admitting they had had no power to charge him in the first place. It said: “Following discussion with the Crown Prosecution Service, Mr Doyle is no longer charged with the offence and will not be appearing at court. “Police may not make charging decisions on offences under Section 19 of the Public Order Act.” The CPS guidance on its website about racist and religious crime states that a charge under the act can only be prosecuted with consent of the attorney general and requires a referral to the counter-terrorism division to be dealt with by a specialist prosecutor. The offence carries a maximum jail term of seven years. ,,,more on link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 With the amount of time the police spend following up on Twitter posts, you wouldn't think the cutbacks they're so angry about were a problem, would you? I'm glad they're prioritising shit like this over, I don't know, say, Burglary? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) Police investigating twitter posts brought to their attention by the twitterati really is a waste of police time. Edited March 26, 2016 by Dr_Pangloss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I normally ask if it's OK to keep my shoes on. I've no issue doing it, if the person asks me to, but most of the time they stay on, because most people don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Shoes off all the time. Imagine how much crap you drag through the house from outside. Usually slip on a pair of swimming flip flops or slippers in the winter. In Turkey they'd give blue plastic bags for your shoes if there was no slippers to give guests. Here in Bulgaria it's the same. I change shoes when I enter work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
