    Five people arrested on 'public order offences' due to that Grenfell video. Fuck right off.

    Yeah but they burned an effigy.

    How's that Grenfell investigation going anyway?

    That's nice, if he does 2 terms he'll just be out of office by then so he can blame the new Mayor Izzard/Rascal/Quimby when it's still as bad as ever.

    Those arrests are mental. I don't really see how you distinguish between arresting people for that and arresting comedians for exceptionally offensive jokes.

    I'm not sure I see what the problem was with this, it's obviously a complete waste of time (and for locals, the most Woodbury thing you could think of) but surely there are better targets if you don't like people eating meat.

    The local parks in Southampton have been covered in chalk pro-vegan crap for about 6 months now. All leading towards a local vegan restaurant, of course.

    Don't try to understand this shit. I've never been able to.

    I work with 2 vegans and had a hilarious chat with them a while back.

    Vegan: 'I wouldn't use it because they experiment on animals to get access to the Chinese market

    but you shop at Tesco?

    Yeah?

    they profit off a shit tonne of animal based products

    But I don't buy any of it.

    I don't think they separate vegan and non-vegan on their balance sheet. If you shop there, you fund it.

    ... well where am I meant to shop?

    Green grocers?

    The same girls are also all aboard the 'anti-plastic train', which I completely agree with, I'm just not silly enough to think I can make the blindest bit of difference.

    During one fascinating lecture on the subject, I pointed out that they were drinking from Plastic bottles.

    "I'm aware of that, but that's what the fight is for. I should be able to buy it in biodegradable bottles."

    or a can?

    Straws are my favourite. There’s no actual need for any of them, so why are we bothering to make them from paper when we could just bin them off entirely overnight with no real impact to anyone?

    The backlash over that was hilarious though.

    You should tell about all the things that are made using animal products, like most fizzy drinks.

    I think with straws it was that there should be no reason for them to be a problem, given that they either end up in a landfill or getting incinerated. Now, you could say that we shouldn't be doing that even; but then how much packaging is a waste of time? None of that gets banned, because that would actually involve doing something rather than merely being seen to be doing something.

    But paper wastage is the Jade Goody to Plastics Genghis Khan. You want to get rid of both, but if you can't you'd rather have Jade knocking about.

    There's an analogy about plastics/Genghis' ability to hang around for longer than paper/Jade in there somewhere too.

    I find it hard to believe any of it is a problem really. Not in developed countries anyway. It's the Africans and Asians who chuck it all in the rivers.

    I have read a bit about the plastic craze and, as usual, it is just idiots overreacting to nothing. In advanced countries most of that shit gets recycled, or at worst landfilled/incinerated. The whole 'plastic ball in the ocean' thing is due to third world countries without infrastructure to properly deal with trash. So yeah, if you really want to help, donate a truck to Laos or something. A straw ban is as useful as nice thoughts are.

    EDIT: Yeah, what Lewis said.

    Trash collection is provided by the state in Mexico (unlike here, where I have to pay a private company ) but the truck driver wouldn't take our trash unless we bribed him.

    We got some new recycling guidance through the door earlier, and they are no longer accepting foil, 'cartons', and 'other plastics'. I think that's most of what I normally recycle. What's the point?

    Two people I've known from childhood have been in the news today for having died last night, one was murdered and one died at home in his sleep. Three others also died overnight, with all five having grown up essentially in the same street.

    One poor woman has lost both her sons on the same day in completely unrelated incidents.

    I was wondering if 7 years is a big gap. It's only a couple years less than the gap between White vs Black people in 1979.
