15th of March 2013 Cyprus.
Overnight the banks were frozen, all electronic transactions ceased, the banks were closed, ATMs suddenly did not work (they were turned back on with severely restricted withdrawal limits later).
There four kinds of people
The cashless
Those who kept cash outside the system.
Those with other things like gold/silver/food/petrol.
The wolves who travelled into Cyprus to strip the cashless of their assets for fire sale prices.
The cashless starved, and had to sell their assets at fire sale prices, because they couldn't get any money, they couldn't use their cards AND they couldn't escape. Those who kept cash out of the system did not starve and could escape. Those who had other things like gold/silver/food/petrol ended up cleaning out the cashless of their assets and picked them clean as they had no choice as they had to buy water and food. Trevor a wolf went out there and started buying cashless peoples' Jewellery for about 5 cents on the Euro. The cashless had no choice but to sell to a wolf or starve.
Considering you can by raw poppy seeds which will grow into opium gum poppies and various other seeds which are sold as bird feed.
I don't ultimately see much of a problem with it.
OTOH people buying hydrogen peroxide and aluminium powder for completely legitimate reasons have been subject to middle of the night armed police raids to their homes which caused one of them to emigrate to Canada.
Well considering the BBC is the UK's state propaganda akin to Pravada, I'm not really sure you can be citing them as a reliable source. The BBC loves to omit certain things. For exampe 'c'est soir' in regards to the Iraq war.
Sure but I don't think they really care as the politicians who got into power walk away with a large severance package and an extremely valuable pension that would put most 401Ks to shame
Paedophiles yup because quite a number of politicians were named in cases involving paedophilia and quite conveniently the police files on them were destroyed y'know completely by accident of course.
Therefore to protect their identities, I mean national security this law had to be enacted.
Well I didn't want these laws, the problem is a lot of people do want them, there has always been massive support for such laws under the guise of "you are only against it if you have something to hide."
Plus what actual method is there to say no?
Vote labour ~ they enact totalitarian laws
Vote tory ~ they enact totalitarian laws
Vote liberal ~ they enact totalitarian laws
Before each election they promise not to enact totalitarian laws.
Yup it is called the victim surcharge its something like 15-20% tax on any penalties and fines (note that penalties aren't actually legal as they can only be imposed by a court but the powers that be ignore this completely).
So you get a penalty of £100 for say a parking ticket is becomes £120, even if there are no victims.
I am notoriously bad at remembering passwords, my email accounts are filled with reset password reminders. I do remember my ebay one and my email account ones but websites that force me to make an account to buy stuff? something random gets typed in copied and pasted in the retype password box.
Except a few years ago a case collapsed because it was unknown if the time stamps were reliable or not. IIRC (which I might not) found 'bad' images on a persons HDD, except they weren't sure if it was them who put them there or not.
Nah effectively you have to prove conclusively that you have forgotten what the keys were, else they consider it to be a convenient lapse of memory and therefore you are hiding something. Since the UK police used to consider silence as an indicator of being guilty....
Yup, there was a male stripper who had an act whereby he dressed as a police officer for his strip routine. Look up "Stuart Kennedy" he's been arrested 22 times (no double jeopardy law in the UK) and they keep trying to pin him with more and more outlandish crimes.
Thought crime has LONG existed in the UK, the extreme porn law and child protection laws are an example of this.
Having a 'bad' picture for instance in your possession is illegal, before anybody jumps to conclusions 'a bad picture' can be plenty of things, ball gags for instance in UK porn are considered illegal as they cause the party under restraint from such a device to be unable to withdraw consent. Extremely well endowed men are also illegal as they can cause damage to their partner.
(a man once went to court for having a cartoon of tony the tiger from the breakfast cereal shagging a woman). So if I put that 'bad' picture in your hand and you go home and pleasure yourself with a picture in your posession.
Even though there is no direct contact between you and the bad picture, and you were not involved in making that picture or distributing it, merely having thoughts about it is a crime.
I wish I were kidding
Not really, the problem is MPs, police government have used the 911 effect, whereby horrible actions of cops will be excused by saying ' in this post 911 climate we have to be vigilant and more careful'
The British regime and tentacles of power rather than using that mouthful will merely say 'National security' police for instance had S45 which allowed them to strip search you 'for national security' s45 has NO oversight and NO recourse, i.e. you were not allowed to complain. So they could strip search you under S45, let you go without a pink slip (which details the stop like a receipt) then stop you again under S45, and repeatedly stop you under S45 (it has happened a few times to a few people). The police used this because it saved them paper work of having to write a receipt, if you ever spoke back to a cop S45 would come out.
S45 was repealed and a WORSE law was put in place whereby you are put on a penalty system, so if a cop thinks you've done something bad or illegal, without evidence can put you on a list.. Say for example your motorbike exhaust sounds illegal (which it might not be) cop thinks its illegal? you go on the list, cop sees you again he can impound and destroy your motorbike and there isn't much you can do about it.
Its not trolling facebook, it is the scatter gun effect.
The police will ALWAYS character assassinate anybody whom they are dealing with. For example when there was an extra judicial execution of a Brazilian bloke in London about 10 years back. The PR system of police immediately made up rumours that he was a rapist (he wasn't) , and that he was an illegal immigrant (he wasn't).
Also in the UK there are laws against causing people distress online, and therefore trolling can fall under this, essentially there were some children who were bullied online (apparently there is no off switch) topped themselves and their parents campaigned for such a law.
Also inciting hate and disorder, so for instance if one were to say kill all [insert ethnic group/religion/sect/government minister] you'll be happily sent to prison for at least a year.
They won't, young people are mostly dis-enfranchised and don't vote. I'm not exactly young and I don't vote because it changes nothing (my vote under the system here is worth about 0.013 of a vote).
Under similar UK laws, forgetting is a crime.
For example in the UK if you get caught speeding by a speed camera, you have 30 days to tell the police who it was who was driving.
Except there is no statute of limitations and speeding tickets can come through your door months after the event, though there is the frequently cited 2 week rule (Scotland has a statute of limitations). So if you genuinely forget then the registered keeper of the vehicle is usually given double the punishment of the speeding offence and sometimes the penalty for the speeding offence ontop.
So a 3 points £100 fine becomes 9 points + £300 fine £90 tax (yes there is a tax on crime in the UK)
Equalise?
It's even more stupid than that, as UK lorries also have to pay the £10 charge... it is also a daily charge of £10 with an upper limit of £1000
The government were supposed to compensate HGV companies by reducing the amount of road tax they paid, in reality the government did no such thing.
I don't think this will pick up tbh, there is a little social experiment you can perform, in a crowd ask people who are wearing watches to put their hands up, you'll find its mostly the older people who wear watches.
I haven't worn a watch (34) since I was 23.
Nah £10 of diesel fuel would yield £6.40 of tax for the government.
A lot of Eu countries have similar on the border charges. Vignette in Switzerland gets everybody for instance,
Because HK's MTR is heavily overstaffed.
For instance during peak times they will deploy an army of people to stand around holding signs, on Nathan Rd for instance a one way system it put into place for the entry and exit stairs for the stations. The above LED sign states that it is exit only or entry only. But two people are deployed to stand guard (which blocks the exit a tad) to hold signs saying exactly the same thing.
Similarly down on the platform levels even though there are platform screen doors, you have armies of people standing there holding signs and little foam covered sticks to prevent people from getting on if it is too crowded. When I mean crowded I mean well over 100% capacity.
Er trucks have pretty big tanks, in France the legal limit is 1500 litres, they split this into 999litres and 501litre tanks to dodge various rules of hazardous materials.
A lot of EU countries have lorries with 2400 litre tanks, they just don't drive through France to get here as the Gendarmes check them.
It is a source of annoyance for the UK truck industry as many European trucks (where diesel is cheaper) would come with tanks brimmed and would be able to make a delivery using UK roads without buying any fuel or contributing to using the roads. They now get charged £10 ($16) at ports.
In that are they going to make the trucks self loading as well?, I don't know about the US but you see quite a few trucks which have cranes and fork lift trucks attached to the back or a powered tail lift. They get the driver to operate these things as not all places have truck height unloading bays or fork lift trucks either.
Heh I remember unloading a refrigerated truck with another bloke with a fork lift dolly and a powered tail gate, it took forever to unload.
Then this project fails completely, because look how the robot is configured is is as big as a car itself and it needs to go to the side and slide underneath. Therefore to use the robot you need 2 spaces for one car. Unless it can get in from infront or behind. Or the robot positions them on a pop/push basis whereby the car which is going to leave last gets put right at the end, even so the car will need to be regularly shuffled as its leave date approaches.
So tbh tiny parking bays and small transit lanes between them is more effective, Bury council car park is this, the bays are tiny and you can't drive into them you need to go back and forth about 4-6 times to get the angle right. It generates maximum revenue for the council for the least amount of space and significant revenue for the paint workshop judging by the pillars being scarred with car paint.
Is it me or does anybody see a problem with this? in that unless you can fork lift the car from in front or behind you need to leave a large amount of space between each car to get the robot in. Which reduces your carpark capacity.
Councils in the UK make new carparks with tiny spaces where you have to literally climb out this is done to maximise revenue.

Forgetting is not a legitimate defence, much like torturers say, you would say that wouldn't you?
