what do you do when all the apples are bad? 

[douglas9401]

Make cider.

[Untitled]

at present we seem to be entrusting the cider to make itself

[david small]

Well, there’s a surprise.....NOT.

[Canary42]

That's how the super-rich work ("everyone has their price").

As David says, no surprise there.

[youngmafbog]

Allegedly.

[barry1010]

Allegations from Fayed's security. I don't know if they are true or not.

[DTCwordfan]

Fayed was asked about this, the reply, 'they, (the girls) are scrumptious after a couple of ciders.....'

On the other side (currently on a train so can't post the AB link) in 2020 or 2021 there were a couple of black athletes who went batsiht crazy at being pulled over. The coppers were sacked, but today have been reinstated.

 

So, there are good coppers.

[douglas9401]

I blame the Strongbow Street Runners.

[sandyRoe]

Those cops who have been reinstated, should they be sent on a racial awareness course?

[Deskdiary]

^^^why?

 

They pulled people over who happened to be black. They could have been white.

 

Using your absurd logic, any copper who pulls over black people Ned a race awareness course.

 

Would you have the same opinion if the coppers who pulled them over was black.

 

Idiot.

[sandyRoe]

They claimed they smelt the stench of marijuana from the black couples car.

The smell would have leaked out of the 'suspects' car and into the police car.

I suppose it was a good excuse to stop the black motorists.  If they were stopping blacks simply because of their colour perhaps they do need the course I mentioned.

[Deskdiary]

You're crowbarring racism into something that wasn't racist.

 

You're doing it to signal to others how tolerant you are. I'll bite, you are an example to others. Well done you.

[sandyRoe]

As there were no drugs in the car why was it stopped?  There must have been a reason.  I can think of one.  

What others might there have been?

[Pegasus16]

"what do you do when all the apples are bad?"

Is every Police officer a bad apple, or just a lazy general sweeping statement?

[Peter Pedant]

Using your absurd logic, any copper who pulls over black people needs a race awareness course.

erm any one who works with children has to do a child protection course - I mean christ it  is not exacty rocket science
