Utterly bizarre reasoning. It’s a needless strain on police resources and, as in many other walks of life, there are strong arguments for making ‘polluters’ pay - in this case football clubs -many of which are awash in money in comparison. Allowing full cost recovery from clubs (or, at least, a better balance than exists today as clubs do what they can to wriggle out of responsibility for policing costs) would go much further than your tackling little obsession.

And I suspect policing disorder at football games is a significantly bigger strain on resources (and not just on the police). Nobody is going to try to make a serious connection between that and the rise of community policing. Perhaps learn to separate the trivial from the substantial rather than get carried away with your pet peeves.

We’re talking about the rise of community policing and what has prompted it. On the raw stats alone and the differences in resources devoted to different types of offencs, the need to record these incidents is absolutely trivial. Doing away with them would barely move the dial relative to other interventions and the structural challenges facing the police. Yet for some reason that’s all you’ve talked about on this thread which as I say is more a reflection of your hysterical preoccupations than anything else.

I wouldn’t have known about transphobic limericks had you not brought it to my attention. You see I’m not a cretin who overreacts to this stuff. As for the telegraph article, it’s clickbait for the hard of thinking. Do I think many of these alleged ‘offences’ are nonsense? Sure - just as I do the oddballs who go out of their way to tweet these things to begin with. There were 11 million offences in the last year alone, so 87,000 over 5 years is absolutely tiny - never mind that on an incident per incident basis, proportionately fewer resources will be allocated to them. So unless you’re a hysterical halfwit who can’t maintain some perspective, the need to record transgender limericks and alike would not be at the top of my reasons for why community policing has grown.

Agreeing to have special advisors appointed by No.10 and not answerable to you is pretty supine and unprecedented stuff.

I thought you were a fiscal conservative?

So you’re just on commission for how many times you can talk about gender and identity politics and shoehorn it into a conversation? You must be raking it in pal

No stories about gender neutral sausage rolls or alike for you to rage about today?

Unlikely. The thinking is that Javid got the chop because he was unwilling to support higher government spending on levelling up poorer areas and regions. If anything, this appointment means more, not less money for postcodes like PO.

I bet he’s as much of a Saints fan as David Cameron is a Villa fan. Politically convenient nowt else.

Yeh but Dominic Cummings is a skate.

Was Vestergaard’s giveaway against Palace in a critical position or not?

£80?

This isn’t a graph GM can’t butcher. He’s not Pompey Poly’s second most famous graduate for nothing.

Exactly

Not sure what you mean by ‘NFL stadium’? Some of the ones I’ve been to have been louder than anything I’ve heard at the football. You cannot hear yourself think in some of them. Apart from looking ‘flashy’ and ‘corporate’, the underlying acoustics and architecture of the new WHL are perfectly suited to creating an atmosphere (unlike the Olympic Stadium). The issue has less to do with the stadium and more to do with the fact that when you move from a capacity of ~35K to ~60K, you’re going to attract more daytrippers and tourists (and frankly let’s not overegg or exaggerate the atmosphere of the old WHL in recent years). Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge are classic stadiums but the atmospheres there have been getting progressively worse.

Completely agree.

Travesty if we don't win this.
