Things Noticeable this week

[chris chunt]

Pete Dohertys dogs have savaged a neighbours cat and he's totally unapologetic about it.
He's the neighbour from hell apparently.



To think he was once best friends with Tony Blair like in the photo below.



Don't do drugs people.
You might end up like Tommy Doherty

Not wanting to risk at sounding sexist or chauvinistic but remember the old adage:

she was asking for it?

I am beginning to think that some of these victims need to be held accountable for their actions too.

It shouldn't be 100% on the guy (and in most of these cases, the guy is the accused attacker).

These young women wear revealing clothing and thongs, they go to guys' places and get drunk until the wee hours of the morning and then jump into hot tubs with those guys, they send selfies to guys showing themselves in skimpy lingerie and swimwear and include suggestive sexual comments in those photos.

Then the next day they want to say the sex they had with these guys were non consensual because they were too drunk or too high to consent.

Well, whose fault is that they were drunk or high?

They succumbed to the pressure of getting drunk and getting high and putting that alcohol and drugs into their own system.

They could had say no thanks, I am not drinking or I don't do drugs when a guy or someone at a party hands them the alcoholic beverage or the drugs.

You put yourself in a position where you make yourself vulnerable or defenseless and you get hurt in the process, it's partly your fault.

It's the same principle as if you were to walk down the middle of a busy high traffic highway or road way and then you get hit by a car, you don't blame the driver of that car, you blame yourself for putting yourself in such predicament.

This MeToo is getting out of a hand.

We are at a point if you even just tell a woman, lest she be a friend or a colleague or an acquaitance, you look nice today or I like the dress you are wearing, and she will want to accuse you of sexual harassment, sexual assault or rape.

The actions of these women, many of them crying wolf, also doesn't help the women who are victims of actual sexual assault and rape.

And now Mad Theresa is replacing her missing cabinet members with whoever she can get. Windrush Amber Rudd running work and pensions! Useless Steve Barclay as the Brexit Man! If this crap continues for much longer, people will start to seriously wonder if it's time for Corbyn and his crew to take over.

Talk about lunatics running the asylum!

[Reclaimedwg]

Is John Major still around?

Put him back in!

As a Yank, I liked him better than the woman that was in office before him.

Or the Blair With Project guy after him.

British Prime Ministers have no term limits?

Damn!

If they keep getting elected, they can stay in until they die.

You are welcome to Major or Blair. We probably haven't had a decent leader in this country since Clement Atlee. Such is life I guess. :-)

What? Not Churchill?

Out goes Esther again and in comes...Amber Rudd!! Really? Again that stupid woman gets back into the cabinet -May never learns and what about the Windrush fiasco - never answered for that did she. No wonder this Government is looking lamer and lamer every day. Blair, Brown and Cameron all appeared at the Cenotaph last Sunday as did Sir John Major-all living ex prime ministers attend. Gordon Brown gave an impassioned speech about BREXIT last week as well and it's well known that Blair/Major wete/are dead against it and Cameron was the bloody fool that started it in the first place. May might be challenged but I can't see who would be a credible candidate for now -not Boris or Michael that's for sure.

Moving away from Brexit as it has its own thread and onto other news


Rotherham child sexual abuse: Six men jailed
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...shire-46222421


Yet another sex abuse scandal in South Yorkshire

And, no need to guess their background as you all know what is coming

"The men, who are all of British Pakistani heritage, targeted and groomed the girls over seven years. "

I'd like to see these sorts of vermin chemically castrated as well at the very least.

Many of the trees are still standing.

Tells you something, doesn't it?

Yeah, trees rule though i can imagine many of them won't be in a good state right now.
Looks like a map in some post-apocalyptic computer game.




Edit: was skimming through the YT comments (at my own risk) and actually found some interesting explanation:

What we're seeing is actually fairly typical of Urban/Suburban fires, especially those at the Wildlife Urban Interface, the reasons are as follows. A living tree, even during a drought is still a pretty wet thing. Wet wood doesn't burn well, at all, a fire has to desiccate it before it really gets going, which can take a lot of time and which is why leaf littler and dry brush/underbrush are so important in getting these big fires started. Even in the biggest most intense fires, it's actually pretty rare for trees, especially substantial ones to be completely incinerated, the outer bark and wood burns and chars and the fire spreads from trunk to trunk through the detritus and then if the fire gets really bad up into the crown of the trees, but only very rarely are trees completely destroyed and turn to ash and charcoal. On the other hand, Paradise itself, that is the buildings and infrastructure: houses, businesses and roads built of dead, dried wood, plastics, paint and petroleum products and all the other things inside them, made of plastic, wood, fabric etc., basically everything that makes modern life possible, all of that was/is extremely flammable, it ignites quickly and burns fiercely and spreads very fast. Once the town itself got going, it was the buildings themselves that were fueling the fire, and the fire began to spread and burn through the town remarkably fast, faster than it's even already breakneck pace - which is again par for the course based on other "urban" fires like those in other areas the western US, Canada and Australia - at that point the buildings were being completely consumed, and then going out as the fire moved forward, this means that quite often the area isn't actually burning long enough to preheat trees to combustibility - especially those that are spread out within the town - many unlucky trees and shrubs that were too close to buildings or in an area that was going to be burning for a while will have ended up scorched and charred, but others have, at least to our eyes escaped harm, in reality most of those still got themselves broiled and are either green dead - not yet having turned brown - or are actively dying. But yeah, this is actually typical behavior for a Urban "forest" town/city fire.
