Sorry roy. Well-spotted. Try 'so many'.

[Peter Pedant]

oh dear - I agree with all the above posts
I know if I dont - all hell will break lose
I know I am a sad compliant donkey

should anyone form a thought:
Why is everyone so concerned?

then s1 of the children act comes to mind - the interests of the child are paramount

[ like lockdown, I am not suggesting we you know obey the law]

Best Police back off then PP and let his dad continue to drive him on his merry way, eh?

[shoota]

Surprised they didn't tag on S2 of the Licensing Act 1902 to his list of charges;
If any person is found drunk in any highway or other public place, whether a building or not, or on any licensed premises, while having the charge of a child apparently under the age of seven years, he F1... shall, if the child is under that age, be liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding [F2level 2 on the standard scale], or to imprisonment, . . . F3 for any period not exceeding one month.

The idiot from Manchester wants to be thankful he doesn't live in Sydney.

Roy, I found that a harder watch than the tasering to be honest.

[Spicerack]

How would you subdue someone, piggy, bearing in mind you might not have time to bore them into submission?

[Peter Pedant]

PP is lucky he is not living in Aus
OK er yes ( writes PP meekly and apologetically - not wishing to upset sensitive yet outspoken ABers who dont mind dishing out the botching but ask the mods to protect fhem from taking it)

Aus is the place they feed little children to dingoes isnt it?
what happened to this one?

[oblique ref to the Lindy Chamberlain case and little Azariah - yes azariah, the fella in the Bonk of Daniel]

[royfromaus]

It was far worse imo, Mozz.

That coming from a supposedly Well read intellectual.

[Mozz71]

It really was mate. She was making what seemed to be a peaceful protest, and the plods there were destroying the same social distancing rules they arrested her for. Not a facemask in sight.

//Aus is the place they feed little children to dingoes isnt it?//

Only because the 'roos don't eat the bones.

Times today
Policemen taser father in fron of screaming son

An NHS worker tasered by police in fronf of this young son after being stopped for speeding said the child thought he was being shot

later released on bail
god the times corrspondents are such liars
I hesitate to say I buy a copy and er read it
for the public outrage it would cause

[Spicerack]

Don't take it so personally, PP, Roy was talking about a different idiot from Manchester.

[Peter Pedant]

Help ! mods, I am being hounded and harassed !

note: not justly ridiculed as a result of holding views that would discredit a ten year old - but because I am the one and only deep thinking PP !

Doubts are being expressed whether tasering a man with a three y old is both appropriate and proportionate
which I think is on page 1 of one of the police codes of conduct

[Peter Pedant]

oops
sozza
mods - go back to your teas and crosswords

[shoota]

I don't see how s1 of the Children Act is in any way pertinent here PP.
It refers to court proceeding in care cases.

Peter didn't mention The Children Act.
