Seen two videos of police behaviour here in the UK in the last 24 hours.

In video one, a man is dragged to the floor and punched, then the police charge in and slam him against a shop front. He reacts, assuming he's still under attack, by lashing out, then realises it's a copper.

In video two, two officers try to detain a man. In the "struggle", one of the coppers drops his extendable baton while trying to grab the man's leg. The chap manages to get the fallen baton, extends it, hits the cop grabbing his leg, twists around then smashes it over the face of the other copper who was trying to grapple him, sending him in a heap, straight to the floor. The man then moves towards the other copper, before jumping on his bike and making his getaway.

Both videos are utterly humiliating for a police service still under intense scrutiny for their abysmal handling of Henry Nowaks murder.

Something is desperately wrong with the UK, but talking about it can actually get you hounded by the cops, sidelined by employers and cut off from opportunity.

If it wasn't for my family, I wouldn't still be here.

The force is like all government departments. They are force fed a duet of bullshit. You are not allowed to misgender someone. How the fuck can you misgender someone. OK, the odd, honest mistake can happen but an apology should suffice. You must be as diverse as possible. To overcome the problem of ...

The UK is lost. There is only one way back, and it’s not pleasant.
