He's a complete clown. Should have said the money was to change gender and it's all a smear campaign as he's now a working class girl...

So Met Police threaten to arrest Jewish bloke because his existence at a rally is likely to incite those rallying, in part because he is, and looks, Jewish.
They fumble the apology and apologise for the apology.
Anyone got a link to the first one?
(Who posted that scene with the Chief Inspector repeatedly apologising? Life imitating art ... )

Imagine if an openly-black person was told walking near a Tommy Robinson march was provocative.
The emails between Falter and the Met Police after he complained were even more farcical

Holy Moly

It's great people can be open about this now.

What the actual fuck?

@MiketheSnow well yeah but he's clearly playing with fire by having concerns.

Check out the footer of their email. The police should concentrate on fighting Institutional stupidity more than institutional transphobia and sexism.

Shame they can't be about being Jewish

This is actually genuine.

Unfuckingbelievable.
If the Government are serious about the 'Net Zero' bollocks and getting us on public transport how can they allow this to happen?

Build it and they will come. Eventually?

I think the key question is how a Council can bleat about cuts to government funding but still find £51m for a car park no-one can enter.

See also Exeter City Council who, despite being virtually insolvent have found £52M to build a new leisure complex with three swimming pools (none to Olympic standard), including a 20M leaner pool with a variable depth floor (which seems the perfect solution to a problem that no-one has encountered), the main pool that does not have an adequate cleaning system and suffers from mould - oh and no parking facilities. The same ECC that decided going into property development would be an earner only to see its subsidiary property company collapse with £4.5M of losses, not including the £10M owed to ECC itself. They also forced through a £750K, 700m cycle path that has resulted in the inability of two way traffic to pass if there are any parked cars, which being a residential road, there always are. Said cycle path is in pristine condition because no fucker uses it. Meanwhile the city's roads are close to being unusable for cars or bikes due to the potholes and the city is overrun with weeds and has had a large proportion of its litter bins removed as a cost cutting measure.
What a bunch of complete fluffybunnies.

Official Stupidity - deserves a whole new thread.

@Catogrande this is the most minor issue with the cycle lanes Bromley/TfL decided to put in around Orpington station.
When they originally put it in, they took away pull in bus stops, reducing it to 2 lanes. One of those bus stops was a bus stand, on a main road outside an extremely busy train station.
So fucking ridiculous you just have to laugh, the litany of fuck ups makes for brilliant reading.

I was closely involved with the monumental fuck-up that is HS2. They planted 10,500 trees. In mid-Summer. On the site of a planned embankment. Facing South. With no cover. And no water. The trees died.
Thank fuck they planted them in the wrong place eh?

Restores what little faith I had in politicians. He’d likely get my vote.
