- Comment on What is the point of this exactly? 1 week ago:
The database is for official use only. There is a disclosure scheme where a member of the public can ask the police whether a specific person (who is in unsupervised contact with children) is a registered sex offender or poses other threat to a child.
There do seem to be crowdsourced vigilante databases culled from media reports, which is probably a very bad idea.

- Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling 2 weeks ago:
This is the unitedkingdom community
- Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling 2 weeks ago:
They are almost exclusively white or silver, with blue and yellow battenberg on each side, and red and yellow warning chevron on the back. The high-conspicuity police livery was developed by the police R&D labs in the 1990s and became standard across Britain from around 2004.
I can’t think of a force that used black and white rather than light blue and white. Maybe there were some long ago.
- Comment on HS2 was doomed to be a mess, say insiders - because of a 'problem in this country' 2 weeks ago:
Dear Auntie, please revise your headlines to be as boring as possible. Someone might read something if you don’t.
- Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling 2 weeks ago:
Well, seeing as police vehicles aren’t black and white……
And if you took a look at the picture, it replaces the battenberg on the back half of the van, with a logo that highlights the letters BT, so it looks a bit like a telecoms van.
- Comment on There are major holes in this theory 2 weeks ago:
The shipping lanes haven’t changed much. The priority is still to cross the Atlantic from the English Channel to New York in the shortest distance.
As a direct consequence of the sinking of Titanic, the International Ice Patrol was formed to keep track of ice from point of origin throughout its transit through shipping lanes. These days it’s an aerial and satellite patrol.
- Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure it was the wisest idea to put the rainbows on the vehicles in the first place. Is someone panicking, with visual or cognitive impairment, at night, going to instantly recognise it?
