This is really no time to do the ‘YMCA’ dance.
As the brutal and sinister forces of law and order advance, actually, four unarmed Kent officers showing how aggressive they aren’t by not even wearing helmets. Protesters immediately hold up their arms to show that they use deodorant and can dance to YMCA.
The man in the orange looks particularly interested in the young officer to his front. Ahem… moving on swiftly.
That’s a pathetic A, from YMCA. “Book Her Sarge”
“Like, dem boys can book me for bad dancin’ yeah? I don’t fink so”
“I want my solictor, boy, know what I mean?”
Yes, and I imagine Junior will not be too happy about his loss of earnings when you are away either.
Gadget Note: Is that an Inspector behind the female protester being arrested?
An inspector? with all that blue on the jacket looks like a PCSO tha got badly lost to me……
So nice to see the Stop The War coalition types are helping the No To Coal group. One might almost think there was a big group of exactly the same people going from camp to demo to meeting all the time. Same faces different causes.
I think they were called Rentamob
Is that you guv holding her arm? Hope you washed then afterwards
Good skills from Police officer on left…taking a radial and a brachial pulse at the same time. Although I do believe he is taking the under used ulnar pulse due to the positioning of his right thumb.
I’d have thought the Police officer behind (blue and yellow hi viz possibly a Sgt) would not have been wearing his rank markings and collar number?)
Top pic…”Hands up who wants mushy peas with their chips?”
I reckon the fella in yellow and blue behind is a Skipper, certainly looks like stripes above shoulder numbers to me.
Or do you know something we don’t…
The peasants are revolting over what this time? Oh, power stations. Electricity is, like, a tool of oppression by the capitalist elite.
So, how do they organise these protests again? Carrier pidgins? Sending out “flocking” vibes over the ley-lines?
The whole thing is the usual nonsense. The UK needs new coal plants and new nuclear plants. None of the renewables is reliable enough for the base load nor is it cheap enough even relative to the very high prices of oil, coal and gas today.
I am told that the only form of renewable that we are likely to be able to generate efficiently would be tidal (bore) power and that of the main stream technologies the one closest to providing reliable power is solar in deserts. Fusion is still 30 years away, as it has been for the last 30 years.
Any delay in building new plants means ever more reliance on creaky old plant with consequent pollution. Renewables is a joke, so these idiots should just go away.
Renewables + nuclear is going to be the way to go. Of course, this lot will protest the nuclear option as well, and they’ll also protest at the temerity of building a wind farm anywhere it happens to be windy. Some people just like to make a fuss, get noticed, and throw things at coppers.
Personally, I think they’re a little too worked up about this. The new coal plant replaces an old one with a cleaner one. That’s an improvement. Improvements are good.
Although if nobody does protest, perhaps it won’t be the last generation of coal plants as one might hope…
And I know nuclear waste is dangerous, but is it as dangerous as a six metre rise in sea level caused by the ice caps melting?
Didn’t think so.
Its just a day out for some.
We’ve got science..clowns ,couldn’t explain the Plank limit if they tried.
Looks like Sergeants stripes to my young eyes….
I hope the DSS were about interviewing them as to why they were not actively seeking work and that their giro/benefits were adjusted accordingly! As a fairly easy going MOP, I would love to see the fuzz give ‘em a good batoning, I hate the rentamob twats.
Guv,
On a side note, got my T-shirt this morning. Looks pretty damn fine if you ask me. Needless to say I’ll be wearing it on my next training day.
Cheers!
I once tried surviving on a diet of lentils, wind-assisted fruit and condensation, but it turned me into a lank-haired, workshy, leather-hating muppet, with a matted beard and wild, bloodhsot eyes. I found myself despising coal and throwing my own faeces at coppers during “protests”, even though I was so high on narcotics and misplaced sentiment to even know my own name. I packed a throwing star and a knuckle duster in my effort to wrestle peace and harmony back from my oppressors.
How on earth would these cavemen like fools ever have survived as cavemen?
T-shirt price ?
Well, half right. Biomass, tidal, geothermal, hydro: fair enough. Wind and solar: urgh. Their major effect is to cause a headache for the poor techies tasked with load and frequency balancing the grid. The “it’s always windy/sunny somewhere” argument is a red herring because of transmission losses; they’re not reliable locally, which is where they’re actually needed. I live within sight of (I believe) the UK’s largest onshore wind farm, and the turbines are stationary as often as they’re spinning. That means that there’s a local coal/oil/gas/nuke plant that has to be kept hot to pick up the slack at the drop of a hat (or the drop of a breeze), making any savings absolutely marginal.
But back on topic… if these soap dodgers love animals so much, then I suggest that you introduce them to some.
Start with a pig roast, upwind. That should hive off most of the wavering veggies once the irresistible aroma penetrates through their personal miasma, and wake them from their enfeebled sheep-dream.
Then send in Mounted Division to let them play with the ponies. I honestly think that the British copper-on-a-clopper is the best in the world at rounding up miscreants, bar none. Some of the combined foot-and-horse maneuvers during the last big scroungers’ protest in London brought tears of national pride to my jaundiced eyes.
Finally, the furry crocodiles can be set loose to feast on the mewling, twitching remnants. Job’s a good ‘un, unless anyone knows a reliable source for a flock of vultures.
Some of the left wing press are getting excited about police stopping food supplies getting to theClimate Change Camp
Gadget can you confirm that this blatant breach of human rights took place or was it you searching desperately for donuts?
And what is the best way to get cat hair off the uniform?
The numbers involved with “Rentamob” activities would be slashed if the parents threatened to withhold their trust funds and the state required able bodied people to work for their income.
“couldn’t explain the Plank limit if they tried.”
And neither can you, from the looks of things. It’s the Planck constant.
For those who dont know the Planck constant is always two short ones
The thing with the sloping shoulders and bin mans jacket on in the picture appears to be a stripey…. The PIC lokks nice though. Young Amelia home form Yooni telephoning Daddy whose a large nob in the CPS!
Ps she also appears to have a very nice pearl necklace. Luck young lady.
‘Rentamob’
Years back I Policed the ‘Free Robert Relf’ National Front Demo, where I spotted a very distinct chubby youth shouting and rabble rousing for the NF.
Not long after that there was Socialist Worker type demo in another town and there I saw the same youth shouting and rabble rousing for the SWP.
That was in the 1970s but I doubt that much has changed.
For those with central heating,

An interesting thought.
I take it the Inspector you refer to in the picture is the officer holding the girl’s left arm ? Is that person you ? or are you hiding further back………….
Nice red herring pointing the reader to the Sgt standing in the background.
well done Rob
in actual fact it’s both limit and constant ,and more to boot.
Clown in uniform @9 and 25 – would be very interested in you expanding upon your answer and truly *love* to hear you go on to explain the fine structure constant ofthe universe too.
You dolt.
apologies for my last post. having a bad day.
Pete @ 26
The only Clown is you ; the fine structure constant is not Planck.
but to help you out it’s close to 1/137
What a disappointment, you lot really don’t know your stuff from the truth about renewables to who actually attends climate camp! Myself and my partner attended the march; I am a secondary school teacher and my partner is an electrical design engineer (knows a fair old whack about power and renewables and couldn’t stop laughing at your misguided comments on nuclear and coal! Lets see if your still so sure about nuclear power in 20 yrs time when those stations are finally built and uranium deposits are tragically scarce!) Climate Camp was a vast mix of people, the vast majority of which hold well respected jobs. I can’t believe the comments made about protestors etc. I guess you would still call yourself professionals? You would be wrong of course. In my line of work if I ever spoke about the students in such a mis-informed, disrespectful manner I would be out of a job. Oh well I guess that must be why you got the most particularly pitiful pay rise out of us public sector workers!
