• Beginner’s Guide to Police Harassment | Police Association
  I just wish this accounted for ALL cases of police harrassment - as opposed to the cases I am familiar with, such as "having long hair and being in possession of a vehicle" or "driving while black" or "being outdoors while female"

Ugh. I wish politicians wouldn't treat welfare as though it's some sort of indulgence rather than a necessity.

THIS.

Yeah, I'm having the time of my life being barely able to pay my rent each month.

As I read that last piece, it's only the headline that talks about the coalition -- Osborne is talking about post-2015 plans. Remember, we've blocked any further welfare cuts without a wealth tax, which Cameron has already said isn't happening.

Well, thank goodness for that. The Guardian front page sub-headline that I glanced at earlier implied that the Lib Dems had OK'd it, though tweets from Tim Farron since suggest otherwise.

I may have been watching too much Channel 4

In the future, you will have to pass through basic thoughtcrime filters in order to access webpages. How does this make you feel?
