One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.

Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.

House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

(hit a button morty, give me a beat)
you gotta get floppy
you gotta get floppy in here
relax your arms and leggies
lie on the floor

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

If anyone not-too-evil wants to sponsor it I’m open to offers though, could flash up a different line of promo text with every load

I have the feeling that a lot of the people that I follow here on mastodon have gone inactive over the time. A lot of the content that I see is automated. If you see this, maybe interact with this post, or boost it so I can find some more people to follow and socialize :)

Remember, if you say it with confidence, you can get away with saying "nine fives of availability" in presales meetings

Best and funniest thing I've seen today on the interwebs. #Canada #Jaws

@Peternimmo The ECHR was created for a reason. Specifically, it was created in the aftermath of the Second World War, with Britain being very instrumental in its creation, to stop Nazis from happening again.

And those who find they are obstructed by anti-Nazi measures are telling us clearly who they are.

“The Torment Nexus definitely has positive uses. I personally use it frequently for looking up song lyrics and tracking my children’s medication doses. I find it helpful.”

I don't talk a lot about Palestine because I don't feel like I have anything useful to say, honestly. Israel is continuing to commit genocide, we all know it, and no one is doing anything about it. I guess I could keep saying that, but I'm not sure what purpose it serves.

I feel powerless about a lot of things, but Palestine in particular.

Sometimes I have an idea and I know, deep down, that I should wait and do it properly but instead I let it burst out in a slap dash splat.

This is one of those ideas.

It is the end of summer (in my part of the world at least*).

I started the summer with the Silly Summer Hatting project, the summary of which is shown below (& you can still see the full size images on the hashtag).

Planning an hour or two later of not doing much at all, so if you missed out, and would like to sneak your pet in at the last moment drop a reply to this thread.

*and working with meteorological rather than astronomical autumn, obvs.
