I didn’t say don’t take him back to be processed.
I just don’t see the need for him to be cuffed once the police know it’s a skipping rope and he’s no threat.
As for “no big deal”, it’s also about optics and respect. A lot of law enforcement techniques are about imposing lack of personhood on someone and by limiting those impositions it shows that the individual isn’t a threat and is being treated as something other than a criminal.
But processed with the guy in cuffs?!
This is the sort of stuff that shows our bobbies are becoming ever more like Americans’ pigs.
One could certainly make the case that the two missiles into the sea near Cyprus were unintentional misses, which shows an attempt to preemptively attack. But even that was earlier the same day it all happened,
The strikes into other Middle Eastern countries, seem, especially early on, to be primarily targeting fossil fuel facilities, US military locations, and airfields.
So, at least to me - any assistance we provide to the US is aiding their war of aggression and belligerence, which is a repetition of Iraq. The British people deserve better than to be the back up attack dog of the US bully.
“The explosions came shortly after Prime Minister Keir Starmer authorized the United States to conduct what Britain described as defensive strikes against Iranian missile sites from British bases on the island.”
In Iran strikes Europe for first time, hits British base in Cyprus , which was one of the top results when I searched for the event to find out more.
Would you care to elaborate?
And which territory was that?
Was it a base being used militarily against them?
Good, we should have an ideology and let that influence the governments we choose (while we are forced to have any) and the actions that they undertake on our behalf.
