Nah, the tide will be the biggest dickhead to him.

I wonder how much he'd have to raise for public services to offset the cost to public services of rescuing him three times.
I'm classing it alongside care work as depressing and/or gross but not actually intellectually challenging or requiring any particular skills. Would I like to do either of them, no, and I wouldn't even if they paid slightly more than I earn; but I feel like I could if I really, really had to. By contrast, I couldn't simply be a plasterer (say) with minimal training and patience exercises.Originally Posted by randomlegend
Another reason care workers get paid crap money is that it's on the government's list of shortage occupations, which means you can bring foreigners over to do it for minimum wage (which then creates shortages, because nobody wants to do it for that money, which means more foreigners, which means more shortages, which...).
No it's true it's not intellectually challenging or requiring particular skill. But it is most certainly physically and particularly emotionally challenging to a point where I think plenty of people genuinely wouldn't really cope. They are also put under immense time pressure and treated like absolute shit with regards to their shifts (stuff like not being told whether they have a shift or not until the day of, meaning they can never plan anything, which I understood to be illegal but is common practice with care agencies).
Just want to say fuck you to Spikey because I looked up what happens to male chicks
I knew but it sucks to see it written out. Just robs them the chance of becoming food.
It's fine, in the UK they just gas them.
Daniel Khalife has donned his escape so far.
Hopefully we get another Raoul Moat
I loved that statement bigging up our armed services.
Anyway, speaking of Gazza ...

Clinging onto the underside of a van is such a 70's Hollywood way to escape.
He's clearly a very smart guy which makes the whole thing 10x more interesting.
Meanwhile my favourite recent escapee
Is it just me or has there been a somewhat massive overreaction to this random nobody escaping from prison? Searching every boot going through the channel tunnel? Am I missing something? If he was really such a risk to the nation, why was he being housed in some two-bit category B prison and being allowed to run amok in the kitchen? Fair play to him. Maybe they need to get that old twat from Hunted to start manning the ANPR.
If they don't catch him rapido it adds to the crumbling state narrative that's been building up recently. Tony Blair would have shrugged it off and smilingly subcontracted the kitchen in question to Ginsters.
Prison escapes actually seem to be the one metric by which the nation hasn't gone to shit over the last 25 years.
Well, there are obviously others, but you know, this one's in the spotlight.
Part of my job last week was to print off intricate blueprint plans of a prison which had me frantically checking my email to make sure I wasn't aiding and abetting.
However if someone escapes from HMP Birmingham next week I am royally fucked.
It's an engaging story innit. I don't really read the news any more but this has me ctrl+r-ing the bbc home page every 10 minutes.
He surely has help, right? How has he known how to disembark from his ride at a spot where he's not going to get caught on CCTV in the middle of London? How has he not been spotted at all?
Clever lad, fair play to him. I'm not sure whether I want him to stay free forever to really cement his legacy, or for him to be caught (pretty soon, before the furore dies down) so they can tie it all in a neat little bow for TV.
I'd have him about 100/1 to make it until Monday. If he does then just let him off and give him some mega MI5 job.
Ideally they'll get the bloke who Martin Clunes played to catch him so we can get Manhunt series 3.
Just get Martin Clunes to have a go at it. Manhunt: Live.
It's definitely more a case of UK prisons are dogshit than he is the next Houdini.
Hopefully this doesn't end with him going to India and writing a 1,000 page novel about it.
Honestly hope he makes it to Iran.
We've had a bank robber escape twice from the same (maximum security) prison using a helicopter both times and he's still at large 15 years later. That's the level of incompetence you should aspire for.
It's not a narrative, it's just reality.
I have recommended Bantaram as the next book.
Perhaps but the narrative is more important in terms of what happens next. If things were crumbling but no one thought they were, then nothing would happen.
He looks like a proper cutie/don.
Fucking giant swede on the lad. He's like the opposite of Spikey. New nemesis right there
If that cock was a nose then he is indeed a don.
It's like 3/5 the length of his torso, mesmerising.
Someone wished their Funko pop could be a real boy.
The outie belly button will get him captured.
"He was last seen carrying a polkadot travel ironing board."
One sighting of him at that massive circle in Wandsworth. Is there no CCTV in that part of London? And how could only one bloke witness someone rolling from out of a lorry in kitchen gear I don’t know.
It's South London. It's like an alternate reality down there.
Nobody grasses in South London. It's rivalled only by Liverpool in its love for protecting scumbags.
There are enough Clapham wankers that look a lot like him that he's probably just blended in.
I just thought he was a little lad but the Beeb reckons he’s 6’2” so yes, that’s an unbelievably massive dome and surely it’s just a matter of time before he gets his collar felt.
£20k reward and mofo is down my neck of the woods the weekend I decide to come back to MK? Fuck arrrf.
I rather enjoyed T. Robinson's costa del rant on the subject of the escapee.
Had no idea he was still a thing.
Twitter [or perhaps the modern world] really has ruined parody. So hard to pick it now. I mean, is this guy real? Seems like a character being played by Richard Kind 30 years ago.
The idea of him being collared whilst riding a (children's) bike is just wonderful.
Poor effort to not smash through the van at the end as well.
Probably the most exciting thing to ever happen in Taunton.
As a Taunton native, I can confirm this is just about the most exciting thing to have ever happened ever. I love how they dodge the final van with such a significant degree of caution and finesse.

I read the mysterious headline and was intrigued. Reading the rest of the article I soon got suspicious.
I then look at the footage and...well, this society is finished. Even Bellingham and his John Agard bullshit ain't mending these broken fuckers.
Jesus, there's even more. The state of that thing but cause she's black and he's not, we're doing all this again.
Decent turnout for a weekday afternoon.
