Yet more police idiocy.

Whether that's enough as a 'lessons learned' for these officers or do people want more?

See! To the point and, above all, short. I approve of this remark.

And no mavising. Also good.

Just ignore comments made by people in such circumstances.

The goal here was to return a vulnerable teenage girl back home. Do that and move on. If you are affected or upset by simple comments such as this, then you are in the wrong job.

I'm going to speculate on what lessons they might have learned.

1. Teenage girls say things. It was the girl's fault but don't react to it.
2. Calling you a lesbian was extreme hate and we're sorry but it has exposed us so next time just report it to us first.
3. Turn off body cams when a queer looking member of the police force is on duty. (I'd think it was offensive to other people but I don't put this past them)

Most likely nothing to do with the actual outrage they've caused. Just how to hide what they do or handle it outside of visibility is my guess.

Anyone want to guess if they've actually apologised to the girl and her mum (and nan!)?

Oh FFS!!! I jumped straight to the end of the thread to see what the latest update was and sodding Felix is in here mithering on! Anything involving the Police and E. L. Wisty's Police Procedurals are filling up the page!

I feel like the issue here is you probably don't get invited to parties much

However even if you respond to this message I will not be responding further as you use this "if someone says something to me I have to respond" to ensure you always have the last word. So in the interests of not derailing the thread further, go ahead and have it.

Say you are at a party.....

Not quite as straightforward but since you used this thread, concerning the arrest of an autistic girl, to explain your reasoning I will do the same.

Say you are at a party. You are in the living room discussing maine coons. BoiledBeetle comes in and tells you in the kitchen they are discussing red pandas and you were interested in them previously, would you like to join the conversation.

I try and find the kitchen but cannot do so, so i come back into the front room to ask BoiledBeetle where it was - so they direct me to it. Whilst in the kitchen I can hear the conversation still ongoing in the front room and they start to discuss red pandas and also mention me in that conversation.

We now have a scenario where red pandas are being discussed in both rooms.

I then re-enter the conversation in the front room which at the time is now discussing red pandas.

But you are saying that its fine for everyone else in the front room to discuss red pandas, but i can not join in that conversation. You state that you can only discuss maine coons in the front room and red pandas in the kitchen and no other subjects are allowed in those rooms as you can not go 'off topic' under any circumstances. But its OK for other people to do so?

When I point out that that other conversations in the other rooms at this party often go completely off topic (talking sporadically about seals, desserts, cheese, stones, time travel etc etc). Then this appears to be alright, even though there is no logic as to when and how often this 'off topic talk' can happen - but i can not do it but anyone else can.

I have nothing intelligent to add, other than to say that this isn’t just poetry… it’s poetry!

YouTube showed me a piece about this from Sky News Australia, an opinion/polemic as much as news. It had clips from the film and the presenters thoughts.

Lesbian Nan's gone global! ☺️

It's sad isn't it. Years spent raising awareness of the fact that people with disability issues, however they manifest, deserve to be treated respectfully and justly. Yet some modern diversity training and all protected characteristics are thrown out the window in favour of feelings.

I've recently had a run in with a rainbow lanyard wearing ambulance transport driver who thought now he'd been diversity trained meant he got to treat disabled people (the whole pint of his job is to transport disabled people) like crap on the bottom of his shoe!

In fact I'd bet money on them still not seeing/understanding what they actually did wrong

I am so so with you on that @Boiledbeetle

But since other important threads on here often get side tracked with pictures of seals, pictures of cheeses, pictures of desserts, pictures of stones etc - its more par for the course!

TRA HERE

You bloody GC women, you are so bloody rude!
When I try to berate you, you just start to talk of food.

When I throw a strop because you say lesbians don’t do dick
You start to talk of Tunnocks and which product you would pick.

When I try repeatedly to tell you that those men are actually shes
You just start to witter on about different types of cheese.

When I try to explain that women’s stuff is ours to take
You begin to debate the merits of different types of cake.

I just don’t understand why you start to talk of food
Every time I try to tell you that woman’s not a dude.

Individually you could maybe, maybe write these things off as one area force has been captured! But when you look at just about every police force (looking at you Northumbria Police with your issue over people retweeting about the adult baby who goes into schools).

But it's just so apparent that the police have abandoned the majority of the population to pander to the whims of a select few.

So i don't expect WYP to actually get their act together over lesbian nan. In fact I'd bet money on them still not seeing/understanding what they actually did wrong

Apparently "taking on board lessons learnt" is the punishment for assaulting a disabled child if you are a police officer 🙄

they haven't even clarified what lessons they have learnt. It wouldn't suprise me if the lesson they learnt was to confiscate people's phones before intimidating and assaulting a disabled child.

Without a clear explanation of what lessons they think they have learnt how are we supposed to trust them.

Firstly wish I'd refreshed the page before posting as @Ifeelsuchflutterings says it better.

And to come back to thread topic, all is quiet on Twitter on the lesbian nan front.

Yes I did, because I'm not about to PM you, and it was the quickest way to alert you to a thread that was relevant to you.

"Afternoon @Felix125

The answer to all your Caroline Farrow unanswered "but we don't know who it is" questions lie in a thread on this board just waiting for you to arrive to read it. But hurry it's filling up fast. "

Nothing about my original post required you to comment on THIS THREAD.

Fuck it I will do my explanation anyway

Say you are at a party. You are in the living room discussing maine coons. BoiledBeetle comes in and tells you in the kitchen they are discussing red pandas and you were interested in them previously, would you like to join the conversation.

Do you:

A. Leave the people in the living room discussing maine coons and join in the discussion of red pandas in the kitchen

B. Leave the people in the living room, listen to the discussion of red pandas in the kitchen and then go back to the living room, dragging BoiledBeetle with you, and start lecturing people on red pandas in the living room, completely interrupting the conversation on maine coons and insisting that you can only talk to BoiledBeetle in the living room because that's where the conversation started.

As a handy clue, most people would go for option A.

'it's'

Not at all - you introduced this subject to this thread and as I said before i think its rude not to respond to a poster who asks me a question or makes a comment for me to respond to.

But since other important threads on here often get side tracked with pictures of seals, pictures of cheeses, pictures of desserts, pictures of stones etc - its more par for the course!

So don't derail any more threads or risk the wrath of Imnobody4!

😱 Felix is correct!

But really Felix.

"She made me do it!"

That's what you are going with!

In that case, (as I apparently have power over what you do)

You're grounded.

No internet access for a month

And go to your room!

And don't even even bother asking for pocket money until January!

I was going to write a much longer explanation as to why the two behaviours were different but I like this, succinct and accurate 😂

We like @Boiledbeetle 😁

Imnobody4
Well, it was boiledbeetle who brought the other thread up into this one - why not raise your complaint with them too?

Thanks, @BaronessEllarawrosaurus .
