    Ideally yes, but in my experience they are frequently too pro USA to be converted. They often even like Trump, and that has to be a disease in the sense of mental illness. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The whole of Brexit, all aspects, is mass hysteria of people, parliament and media. I see no prospect for a cure. .

    Delighted to learn this Zlatan, you have my sincere best wishes for a speedy recovery to a high level of health. Don't worry too much about the low blood pressure, that has its good sides such as not triggering dangerous loose blood clots. With my heart problem I've seen a low of 47 over 36...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And I'm posting from two decades of working for and against the police and subsequent involvement in many court cases in every level of court in this land, from juvenile to Old Bailey. All you've done is thrown in many different incidental offences irrelevant to obstruction to try to disprove...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    More silly nonsense, no charge of dangerous driving could possibly succeed in those circumstances. As I've already informed you, dangerous driving is extremely difficult to prove to conviction standard. No CPS would ever allow the charge for what you describe, they only rarely allow it for...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nonsense. Dave's link refers to impounding cars which is a temporary measure. Only the courts can confiscate following a conviction, and they will not do that with heavy commercial vehicles which are normally not owned by the driver. Repeated offending can only lead to a loss of licence after...

    But they have to release it again, either by not bringing a prosecution, which is usually the case, or by a court not upholding confication when the police they try a prosecution. In any case much of this doesn't apply with commercials. The evidence from the fuel protest was clear, the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You seem to live in some sort of fantasy world where the law is what you think it ought to be. Neither of these propositions is remotely possible. Dangerous driving charges are very rarely brought since they are extremely difficult to prove in court, so lesser charges are the norm. But none...

    Which only applies to the couple of trucks at the front in lanes one and two. So the police signal them off and two more take their place! In other words there is absolutely nothing the authorities can do to prevent such a rolling or stationary blockade. In practice they don't even try, as...

    The authorship of this nonsense is predictably The Telegraph. .

    It was racist, but the nice, civilised sort against our traditional enemy, the French. Just like President Macron's interfering obstructions to our attempts to get an acceptable leave agreement with the EU. Same traditional enemy racist motive. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't understand what you are getting at, you seem to be confusing local mayors with national roles? Both Khan and Burnham were at the April meeting, May's choice to have key local figures it seems, but not at Johnson's latest one. So my original answer applies, Johnson having national...

    It seems you posted fake news, Sadiq Khan was there in your list of attendees! Also my Croydon, London MP Sarah Jones, who leads on the knife crime subject. But not Mohammed Azim, Mayor of Birmingham, which has by far the worst knife crime problem in England and Wales. .

    You've obviously never seen the Team Hybrid stunt team in action! They used BMX bikes with big rear wheel Crystalite hub motors to leap about in demonstrations. Their one concession to what that entailed was the batteries they had as back packs with pull off cable connectors. .

    I added a sentence above, your post probably crossed that addition. The Metropolitan force has always had major national responsibilities in respect of major crime, terrorism and complex investigations. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nothing odd, the summit is national, so Sadiq Khan as London's Mayor naturally wouldn't be there, just as Manchester's Mayor Andy Burnham wasn't, nor any other city mayor. Commissioner Cressida Dick is there because the Metrolitan Police also have a national responsibility. .

    Once again I remind you that knife crime is far worse elsewhere, for example Birmingham West Midlands with barely over a quarter of London's population.
