Heaven is where the police are British

…why would police be allowed into heaven?

It feels like an easy upvote as an American, but…there are countries where police are dutiful, helpful, and measured in force.

It’s a thread about British police…
But while we’re here, none of your examples fit the description either.
Where? In Madeupland? The United Kingdom of Doesn’t Exist and Northern Imagination?
Our police may not be as bad as American police but they’re certainly not dutiful, helpful, or measured in force.

That does not mean parliament agrees or endorses their findings. It’s written with that headline to lend additional authority and credence to the reports that does not exist.
So yes, you’re right, you’re spreading disinformation instead of misinformation.
A committee is not parliament. This is misinformation.
Not sure if a poor attempt at trolling by copying this onion piece or just a fool…

It’s about a change from copyright to copyleft.
Copyleft:
In this sense, freedoms refers to the use of the work for any purpose, and the ability to modify, copy, share, and redistribute the work, with or without a fee.

There is no irony.
sOcIAlLy LiBeRaL BuT eCOnOmIcALlY CONsErvaTiVe has been the banner of European neo liberalism for years. Our woes don’t come from the socially liberal part, but the economically conservative. It has brought wealth disparity, poverty, erosion of welfare safeguards, and worst of all global climate catastrophe.
Until you get onto the road.
American roads are generally modern, built exclusively for cars and are therefore straight and wide. Often carving their way through the landscape. Long distances can be covered in short periods of time.
European roads are often old, built where horse tracks would have been previously. Some roads aren’t much wider than a horse track either. They tend to wind and weave their way around landscapes instead of through.
70 miles may be a 1h drive for most Americans, to Europeans that distance could take twice as long.
Here’s an example of an A road in northern Scotland which is part of the NC500 route. An A road is deemed one step down from a motorway (or highway in America). Notice the coach in the distance. You don’t want to meet that coach on a corner while going at speed.
This is why slrpnk went down. poVoq forgot to do the ritual offerings before they left

No, I don’t think I will. I’m fed up of this paedo fascist dominating every feed. I downvoted because as far as can be determined by the title it has no relevance to the community.
Babe, wake up, new subliminal advertising tactic for Threads just dropped.

Since when?
I disagree with your logic, but even if we take that as a given.
Where in the world are police dutiful, helpful, and measured in force?
