Nicola Bulley Missing

Funding the police and funding other important services whilst redistributing wealth are not all mutually exclusive or negate one another. tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime.

like the gambling den that operated on my kids street for years - causign all sorts of hellish grief for neighbours, kids with sleep less nights from teh shouting. sure, i would love to see the root causes of why that gambling den occured addressed in a more equal society, but i was also would have liked teh police to deal with teh problem instead of just ignoring it.
Cops are neither tough on crime nor on the causes of crime. They're not too fussed about the prevention or detection of crime. And when something comes up where there's no cctv and they've let all and sundry trample on the scene, well they've not got much to offer
 
To be fair there was at least one pic published showing a guy in a dry suit beside the inflatable with the water level just below his knees.
It was never likely submerged and wearing a heavy coat she would never have got far whereas floating she would have been seen.The precise fluid dynamics could by throwing a ghoul in .

The fella was kneeling in the river and the water was barely past his bollocks. I was looking again for that picture but couldn't find it, so I left it. Thanks for the confirmation. :thumbs:

I hadn’t seen all news reports so went off one that said at the spot she went missing WAS FIFTEEN FEET DEEP! Not sure photos prove much but I’m willing to concede that Spymaster and Pickman's model sleuthing was correct. A tough cookie to crumble but they were right.
 
I'm not sure it matters how shallow it is next to the bank in one particular place - if you fall in off that steep bank the momentum could easily carry you out, and as the bottom will slope steeply you will find yourself in deep water.

As I said earlier it could be 1ft deep in one place and 18ft deep a few yards away. Talking about depths is thus pretty meaningless

Plus you can drown in just a few inches.
 
It's a very strange case, not only in and of itself but also the scrutiny about it. Statistics say it will be someone that she knew. That doesn't mean anything of course.

Something that stood out to me though reading a quote from her sister. She did that walk regularly, 1000s of times at the same time. That's shows a possibility for someone to be able to target her in a very specific time and place

:( x a million

puzzled where you're getting this bottom will slope steeply -> you will find yourself in deep water from.

You can see the profile on media photos of the sonar screen in the boat, plus everyone knows rivers tend to be deeper away from the bank if they're shallow near the bank but carry more water than would be possible if they were shallow all over.

Have you actually tried this? Your "you will" appears the product more of an overactive imagination than anything else. Plus there's rivers and rivers - many British rivers can be safely traversed for much if not all of their course
 
Have you actually tried this? Your "you will" appears the product more of an overactive imagination than anything else. Plus there's rivers and rivers - the lena, for example, more than 35 miles wide at times, but the great majority of that great flood can be no deeper than several metres

You like bringing up irrelevant examples. The Wyre is not 35 miles wide in St Michael.
 
So that's a no you haven't tried it and yes it's the product of an overactive imagination

Would you like some examples as irrelevant as your 35 mile wide river?

In any case I don't need to prove a negative. It's up to the shallowists to explain how the fact a river is a foot deep by the bank means someone falling in won't end up in deeper water further out.
