What the fuck:
Soz I know you know the score, my post more at yer Twitter manEdited for clarity.
The policing is costing over £70 million I read today.9 police vans parked on Plymouth Hoe (an official G7 protest site two hours on the train from Carbis Bay) already.
They've re-surfaced some of the roads in St IvesThe 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!
Well that’s a fair trade thenThey've re-surfaced some of the roads in St Ives
Carbis Bay isn't just a load of holiday lets - my daughter and her boyfriend live there, by the chip shop as it happens They are staying with us this week to escape the occupation.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'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.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.
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
Did they clear up all their mess? Or is the area still festooned with little black bags and suspicious looking bottles?Police vans are gone from Plymouth Hoe. Maybe they were just using it for a car park with all the extra bacon around.
