Actions against the policing bill

It doesn't matter how much I know that the Guardian is a piece of shit, they still manage to astound me. Their take on the vigils after the murder :

'Vigils held around the country passed off largely without incident. One near to the route of Everard’s last known journey, on Clapham Common, south London, saw the Met criticised for alleged heavy-handed tactics, but a report by the policing inspectorate not only cleared police of wrongdoing but praised them for their restraint.'

That's it. Cunts.
 
9 police vans parked on Plymouth Hoe (an official G7 protest site two hours on the train from Carbis Bay) already.
The policing is costing over £70 million I read today.

And what does the poorest county in England get from G7 other than weeks of disruption and a potential superspreader event with 6000 cops descending from all over the country and sharing accommodation on a cruise ship!
 
Hang on, the G7 summit is in Carbis Bay? We go on holiday there most summers... it is not the most obvious location for a summit, must say.
 
You'd expect it to be necessary for there to be some kind of local infrastructure to support an event of this size - Carbis is just a load of holiday lets, a corner shop, a chippy and a tapas bar. Chippy is good mind.
 
I believe it’s at an eco-hotel and Cornwall’s nascent tech sector / space port / lithium mines / monorail are seen as part of the UK’s modern green economy.

Carbis Bay isn't just a load of holiday lets - my daughter and her boyfriend live there, by the chip shop as it happens :hmm: They are staying with us this week to escape the occupation.

I'm sure it seemed like a good idea when they were dreaming it up, but there's a reason they normally do big things like this in places where there's lots and lots of hotels and restaurants and suchlike. And, like, roads with more than a single lane. It's madness.
 
The police literally get away with murder lots and lots of times, see for example smiley culture, liddle towers, diarmuid o'neill, mark saunders, joy gardner, ian tomlinson and mark duggan. While I suspect this low wretch will end up guilty of murder if he'd been on duty the case would have been unlikely to get as far as it has

Or if Ms Everard had been a Black woman ?

Without any friends/connections in the media?

Beck's fish and chips used to be legendary.

I'm not sure eco-hotel has much meaning when they've ripped up old trees to expand for this chat. I'd never heard tye Carbis Bay described as that. I used to be a KP and chambermaid in the hotel next door

I think some of you are missing the point a little as is the local MP who is talking up how this shows that his fiefdom is super important and the centre of the universe. The while point is not to have great infrastructure and transport links. It is easily cut off. No where suitable for mass gatherings (other than the beach) and a limited number of entry points easily closed off. Shut the main road into Carbis Bay, the couple of B roads up past the pizza place and behind the estates, shut the branch line and keep an eye on the coastal path then you'll have no stinking plebs to ruin your party. Even the couple of hills down to the Carbis bay and that little bridge over the tracks are awful and easily blocked/controlled. No one inconvenienced except aches and people on holiday. None of the disruption to people who matter like in a place with good transport links and infrastructure.

There are plenty of hotels though and not only in Carbis Bay. A lot of those associated with the summit are being put up in surrounding towns even as far away as Newquay. I heard a lot of the press are at the Queens in Penzance.
 
Police vans are gone from Plymouth Hoe. Maybe they were just using it for a car park with all the extra bacon around.
 
I'll keep ruining this threat until told otherwise.

I was stood there the other day and bought a vegan kebab. Not even visible from the Carbis Bay hotel several miles away. Not really anywhere better in Hayle though. Maybe the rec but that's even further from Carbis Bay and not near the water.

ETA there is more space than I said thinking about it though not behind but beside Hayle Asda which is maybe what "behide" means.
 
The Cornwall Kill the Bill is in Falmouth at 1pm. Only just found out so doubt I can make it. I think they met up by the Wetherspoons last time (only been to the Truro ones). Buses stop right there and it's about ten minutes walk from the train station.
