If an officer of the law breaks the law then they should be punished by the law. The whole point of the IPCC (Independant Police Complaints Commision) is to work out what the facts are and most of the semi/uninformed speculation is not helping. Deserved/accident/trigger happy cop it doesn't matter. Let the IPCC find out what happened otherwise we're just going on hearsay and rumour.
Torching cars and stealing TVs is not the solution. The shooting is just being used as an excuse by the rioters and the unhelpful people encouraging them. The rioters don't give a damn about the guy who was shot they just want to riot and loot. This sort of action will bring out a few more people to riot but the rest of the country will be calling for their heads.
The people worst affected by all this are blameless people who made the mistake of owning shops on a high street or renting apartments above shops or similar things. I mean who didn't see that coming? You live on a high street somewhere and then your house gets torched. It's obvious isn't it? People might think twice in the future before making such an obvious mistake again. That's not going to help anybody.
People like Ken Livingstone also won't be helping. Taking of advantage of the situation for a bit of inflammatory politics is the action of an inconsiderate jerk (First class Hons. University of Git). Hopefully the people who weren't out there upgrading their home cinemas or using other people's cars to keep warm will recognise this and sort him out next year.
Shame about the opportunistic cretins in Birmingham. Hope that gets stamped out.
The only people who are going to benefit from all this are the glaziers.
However if they do delay it then it won't be looked at again in the Commons until after the election when there may be some different MPs who don't support Lord Mandy and his schemes quite to much
Personally, I've always used the hand brake (probably the parking brake you're refering to) to stop the car from rolling back during a hill start. There's no need to use the brake pedal for that.
Yes you can use electric cars there. AC motors with solid state motor controllers and a hermatically sealed contactor shouldn't generate any sparks.
Yeah what were the poll makers thinking of? BS 546? get with the times!
BS 1363 FTW
Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them.
