You don’t recommend punching someone as a joke. If he drew attention to a bulge or suggested a subtle close encounter you could pass it off as a joke. Not though a punch.

Why would they deploy five officers when resourcing problems mean a high percentage of burglaries are not investigated.

Comedian Jo Brand said something about throwing acid at Nigel Farage. Not sure if that was subtle enough…

Michael McIntyre doesn't. Graham Linehan does. Maybe losing his home, marriage and livelihood have soured his attitude.

And the cop boss appealed for help in better guidance for these ludicrous actions he's forced to take.

I doubt the police at Heathrow are tasked with investigating burglaries very often!

No by voting, along with everyone else, and then accepting the result. Not sending in thugs to try to overturn a result that went against you.

Not when they've got serious criminals making jokes on Twitter taking up all their time.

No he wasn’t. He was inciting violence against people he disapproves of. If anyone is in a space they are not entitled to enter there are ways to respond. None of which involves anyone appointing themselves as a vigilante.

Which is precisely why the Police Chief requested better political guidance. They can only try to do what they are asked to do and if they haven’t the resources to do everything, and they never will, then they need clear guidance on priorities. The answer to which will never please everyone.

Except they had the resources to arrest more people for on-line comments than the rest of the world put together.

No he wasn't he was highlighting the need to protect girls bathrooms from perverts not pushing for vigilante moves. 👍🏻

Isn't that what the assassination was for? A thug disagreeing with someone using the law of free speech?

I don’t know where this best fits but here is an analysis from James O’Brien on LBC of how the media responded to Trump’s visit and whether we should regard it as a success. He is pretty forthright about Trump, but entirely accurate, and sympathetic about how we are being forced to pander to his ego and swallow our disgust at his record just because of the position he holds. I would love to be a fly on the wall when our politicians say what they really think about Trump to each other.
I doubt many here agree with this guy’s apparent political position but he makes some challenging points that are difficult, in my opinion, to disagree with:-
