OSA was brought in by the tories.

You know that, i know that. But from the publics perception the act came in while labour where in power. And that's all that matters.

You could make a solid argument that it was done deliberately, to discredit the next government as the tories knew it wouldn''t be them.

Labour could have turned round and said that the rules where brought in by the last government. But no, they then doubled down on it and started calling opponents of the act nonces.

So from the lay persons perspective, labour bought it in, and then called everyone a nonce.

The biggest mistake he's making is that people expected a bit of a shift to oppose what the Conservatives were offering

I think it might be the flip flopping, and not really knowing what direction he needs to take the country.

One minute it's this, next it's that. His dilly dallying with raynor when it was obvious her tenure was unsustainable. Then bringing in deeply unpopular policies like the OSA and digital id cards.

We have systems in place to counter illegal working. Why do we need the other id? We don't. It's a badly thought out rehash of what Blair was pushing in the naughties.

Then we have what most people perceive to be a two tier justice system, and you can start to see why he's unpopular.

Mate, I went full slog and got a vps. Now each site is a virtual host. I did have individual landers in each host, but now they just redirect to my main site.

Which is a lander 🤣

I mean, butter is just churned cream. You can't really fuck that up. You could add more water to the mix, but that would create other issues with consistency, and buttery-ness.

Plus I think to be called butter it needs to have a certain amount of butterfat, I don't know what it is and I can't be arsed to open wiki to find out.

So I'm inclined to believe that to be the case

I think you're right. Even if the police did come out, the chances of arrest; charges being made and then; prosecution is slim if they 1) are rich enough that the police decide to NFA it due to internal politics, 2) the police deciding to NFA in case the person is friends, or perceived to be friends with city/council officials, or 3) have a half descent lawyer / barrister firm they have on retention.

As one copper one said to me: "yea, it's shit. But what ya' gonna do?"
