Bear in mind that he has just put a HANDCUFFED suspect into his vehicle, before returning to it ... where is the acorn sound or reference ? I'm not sure that is particularly relevant, I don't think you're actually supposed to hear it but from the subsequent enquiry ... Deputy Hernandez asked, "Acorn?" Investigator Hogan answered, "Acorn." Investigator Hogan asked Deputy Hernandez if he thought it was possible that the noise he heard, which he had interpreted as a gunshot from a suppressed firearm, was actually the noise of the acorn striking the roof of his patrol vehicle next to him. Deputy Hernandez answered, "I'm not gonna say no, because I mean that's, but what I, [10 second pause in speaking] what I heard [3 second pause in speaking] sounded almost like [12 second pause in speaking] what I heard sounded what I think would be louder than an acorn hitting the roof of the car, but there's obviously an acorn hitting the roof of the car."

I think you are correct....it won't happen. If there was a very low turn out the main parties would simply interpret it as " We have been sent a clear message, we need to start listening to the electorate " .....and then things would continue as they were...until the next "event"/ issue or election. If the more "extreme" left or right broke away , they would remain as an irrelevant sideshow....and may actually do the established parties and media a favour....the British electorate would not vote for them in any sufficient numbers. It would give the intellectual politicians, observers and amateur commentators something to talk about and debate though, particularly on social media, as though thst makes a difference, except perhaps satisfying a need in them. For me we do need political change....without it nothing will really change. That would be my priority at an election. Electoral reform and abolition of the H of L. The main parties will never do that. I think it can only actually happen on the back of some other seismic event.....unfortunately I don't think we would have had the welfare state if it had not been for the second world war. For me, I can't vote for the main three parties, so it will have to be Reform, given the opportunity, knowing of course thst they are unlikely to win anything. It does not mean that I like everything they stand for ( that's the problem with parties politics , there becomes a presumption that loyalty to the party is more important than anything else, even when the party have in reality left the people behind). If Reform achieved Political reform ( absolutely just as unlikely as any other way forward), I would not be the slightest bit bothered if they went into oblivion and smaller parties such as the Greens has a bigger voice. Obviously cue the abuse of the personalities involved...." Let's stick to the totally incompetent, corrupt and unethical instesd" We don't have to vote Labour or Tory. Top post. I feel politically homeless too. Tories - Corrupt and only in it for themselves. Labour - Though I prefer them with Starmer at the helm to Corbyn I’m not convinced him being the new PM will lead us to a brave new world and that things may only improve slightly when radical change is needed. I don’t remember ever feeling so detached from the government and feeling that they don’t represent me at all. 5 things that as a British citizen I expect from my government - honesty and integrity - good public services - a government that cares about doing the right thing for the right reasons - to be rewarded for hard work - to feel safe and to have immigration under some sort of control They’ve failed on all 5 for me. Isn't that six rather than five Cobs? In that, isn't your last one, two completely separate wishes, or do you feel that immigration is the specific reason for your sense of a lack of safety?

It would clearly be completely unrealistic to think that Feinstein could overturn a 28k majority but if he does run, I could certainly see him giving Starmer a bloody nose ...

I can’t do Twitter links, but some videos on their tonight of Sunak on GB news are just mind boggling. What the hell was he thinking. What makes this even more of a disaster for Sunak, is that he put himself through all that, for the lowest viewing figures, erm ... ever for an election Q&A, a smidge over 150k. To put that into context, that's less than Dan Wooton's 'exclusive' interview with Eamonn Holmes.

It’s a sad state of affairs summed up perfectly by the thread title. There’s something very wrong at the moment and nothing seems the same since covid. Though it clearly can’t be used as an excuse it’s definitely a factor. Without doubt the age of young people involved in serious criminality is getting younger and those couple of years where schools weren’t open has affected some kids development (particularly those that were in there last year of juniors). Unfortunately for some home learning didn’t involve education because not all parents bought into it and the lack of integration was a big loss in their nurturing and natural development. I also think a huge factor is children being bought into this world with no solid foundation re a loving home or in some cases a loving and stable family. It’s way too easy for children to be born for all the wrong reasons with no plan and no love from the prospective parent / parents. It’s a huge factor in relation to the problems we’re seeing with criminality in the very young and is something that is passed down to them through the trauma they may experience at a very young age. It’s almost second generation now so things won’t improve till things change.
The UK has had the highest teenage pregnancy rates in Western Europe for many, many years, it's a national scandal, considering that we have the 6th richest economy in the world.
Study after study has concluded that there is a direct correlation between poverty and teenage pregnancy.

This is concerning considering every Labour idea I've heard so far was being financed by "scrapping non-Dom status"
Absolutely incredible.
And there we were a few days ago, thinking that he now had nothing left to ditch.
Scrapping non-dom status was supposed to pay for absolutely everything, where on earth are they going to find the money now?

He really is like a School yard bully in his attitude to life. It’s no wonder he’s got to the top. He just doesn’t give a damn about anything or anyone other than his own ego. It’s a pretty sad state of affairs when you look at the alternative. I can’t believe that there’s not better options around than Trump and Biden (Harris isn’t the answer). Listening to him Cobs and that is exactly what came into my mind. He has the intellect of a spoilt, (as you've said) primary school bully. How populism attracts so many voters, I have no idea, it's both sad and extremely frightening.

Crumbling schools with teachers being made redundant, NHS falling apart with record waiting lists and children not even being able to see a dentist, cost of living crisis with millions in poverty, public transport doesn't work, the roads are full of pot holes and our heating and electricity costs are double that of similar sized economies in Europe. The Tories have truly brought Britain to it's knees, the country is broken.

Exactly - there isn't a single domestic signing that's been any good, at least we've managed to pick up a couple of decent ones by shopping abroad. Essentially, the ENTIRE recruitment policy has been a failure though. So Junior and Gooch have been no good then? Nope and to be fair, I was simply using the two examples you had given. But fair enough, you're now saying, you think that Junior, Gooch, Bae and Burger have been good signings, I still don't follow your logic in suggesting that it's specifically the foreign recruitment that is the issue.

I'm just not following your logic mate. You say that the foreign recruitment hasn't worked as well as the British recruitment, whilst at the same time, saying that you think the only two decent players they've brought in, are Bae and Burger? Thats 2 of how many? Exactly - there isn't a single domestic signing that's been any good, at least we've managed to pick up a couple of decent ones by shopping abroad.

Good OP Gary. Over the years I've always enjoyed discussing tactics and offering an advance opinion on what I'd like the starting XI to be but nowadays, I end up thinking, just what is the point? Virtually the entire squad is just plain rubbish. I really wouldn't be prepared to hang my hat on anybody outside of Burger and maybe Bae. It's a complete shitshow. Part of the reason I’ve not offered any suggestion myself to be fair! I really have no clue and I don’t think the man that matters does either. Expect another 5 or 6 changes for QPR and hope something works, but the squad is just a mixture of meek nothingness. Which players of ours would you fear playing against? There’s no monster defender to beat you up, no rapid winger who’ll run you all day long, no lethal striker to punish you and no physical striker to make it difficult. We’re a pushover. I know it’s maybe for another thread, but do you think we stick or twist if this carries on? I don't think changing the manager will solve anything. We could bring in Fat Sam tomorrow and I think the results would still be no less guaranteed. Essentially I think we could go down, no matter who is at the helm, so we might as well pray that the bloke who is already here, can somehow, miraculously pull a rabbit out of a hat. It cannot be overstated, just how little he has got to work with mind.

Yes, you've said that the foreign recruitment hasn't worked and you've also said that the domestic recruitment hasn't worked but you believe that the issue is not with the recruitment per se but is specifically with the foreign players we've signed. Is that fair? The recruitment team made a conscious effort under Dublin to scour the continent for talent last summer rather than the domestic market and in my opinion it hasn’t worked and to more of an extent than the British market,that’s it end of.If you don’t agree fair enough but that’s my opinion.They’d have been far better (as was mentioned earlier) going into League One and Two for talent and I’m pretty sure if Schumacher remains that’s what will be happening next summer I'm just not following your logic mate. You say that the foreign recruitment hasn't worked as well as the British recruitment, whilst at the same time, saying that you think the only two decent players they've brought in, are Bae and Burger?

Again, no idea what’s gone on since Birmingham but 80%?of the squad now look like complete wastes of space. Goalkeepers - both about the same level, unlikely to win you any points. Iversen was supposed to be good, yes? Full backs - one good one, who now looks like he might be a better bet at centre back because the centre halves we have are terrible. Thompson tried there and then flogged there and now not playing at all anywhere Centre backs - what the actual fuck have we wound up with here? Central midfielders - doesn’t look too bad on paper, but we still never seem to dominate in there. Pearson, Baker, Johnson and Cundle have all been poor. Can Laurent do something on his return? Burger the clear POTY but he can’t do it on his own Advanced midfielders/wide players - Bae is good to watch and still adjusting but not quite got that cutting edge just yet. Haksabanovic, Vidigal, Leris, and whoever else has played out there has been largely crap and extremely lightweight Strikers - how many goals between them, seven? Mmaee on the naughty step, Ennis off the mark but decidedly rusty, Wesley on the shit step, Campbell can’t be fucked, Lowe usually a forlorn trier but understandable given his age. An horrendous culmination of players assembled and another manager whose confidence is through the floor, wondering what the fuck he’s done coming here. And we’re wondering what the fuck he’s doing with some of these tactics and formations. Mmaee apparently being an arsehole, apparent evidence of other poor behaviours (Pearson and Campbell pissing off down the tunnel), an evident chasm between what the manager wants and the approach to actually achieving it. He managed it for the first few games and then has decided to hit the self destruct button. So, a squad that simply will not keep clean sheets and not score enough goals. Do you go defensive and try to pinch low scoring encounters? Do you go direct to a lump like Wesley? Or even stick someone like Leris up there who can win headers at least? Whatever we do, we can’t carry on playing like this. Players - the majority of you are spineless, gutless arseholes Manager - you are fast running out of credit, whether the players are making it more difficult for you or not. A loss on Wednesday and I can see it being curtains. Even then, I can’t see what anyone else picks to get us home safely this season. Unfortunately there are 25 players and only 1 manager, and there’s only one way this ends if it carries on. If the board hold their nerve and let the manager see this through come what may then fair enough, but I just don’t see them taking that risk. Good OP Gary. Over the years I've always enjoyed discussing tactics and offering an advance opinion on what I'd like the starting XI to be but nowadays, I end up thinking, just what is the point?

So if you think foreign recruitment hasn't worked and you think the the domestic recruitment also hasn't worked, then in actual fact, it is the recruitment per se that hasn't worked then? Ive made my feelings clear on the subject mate Yes, you've said that the foreign recruitment hasn't worked and you've also said that the domestic recruitment hasn't worked but you believe that the issue is not with the recruitment per se but is specifically with the foreign players we've signed.

I don't care how successful his technique has been previously, what we saw today was a shockingly bad execution of such a technique.
The whole idea, when trying this, is to force the keeper to go early and then put the ball in the opposite corner.
Today the keeper did indeed go early and then Johnson meekly stroked it the same way.

Like he did for the first half of the season and was fucking shit at it? Under the manager that he reportedly had a great relationship with? Yes a lot of the foreign lads are not good enough but the British players who have done it at this level have been nothing short of wank too. Ive already said he’s not been the same player this season for some reason but however you dress it up the foreign transfer experiment hasn’t worked for me.You disagree fair enough Do you think their recruitment of domestic players has worked then Mutters?
