"News" is generally understood as meaning something remarkable (unusual being one reason for remark). Guess road accidents are so common as to be unremarkable. Quite. Much the same with accidents involving what used to be called HGVs, due to the moving masses involved they are more newsworthy than the average car crash, however when you look at accidents per vehicle mile (or kilometre) they are the safest vehicles on the road (or were). They can also be the most courteous. I used to have to cross a busy road on my walk to the station. No pedestrian crossing places so it was a case of getting across a constant stream of vehicles moving at a slow crawl. You walked forward to show your wish to cross and waited for one of the slowmoving vehicles to slow further to let you across; it was more often than not a commercial vehicle that slowed although they were in the minority I would say. A belated thankyou to those concerned.

How much more there might have been if Beeching never existed we'll never know. Thankfully. God only knows what the subsidy would be today if we had all those thousands of branch lines. Note that road pays $$$$$$ in net tax and rail costs $$$$$$ in net tax. Foreign people seem much better at balancing these books than we ever were. Not so. The french subsidy is enormous, for example. Ditto swiss and probably german too ..yet a narrow gauge railway in the lakes manages to survive with tourism in the summer and a winter timetable that provides a service to locals, without the tourists it probably wouldn't work, Quote: It's 19C technology ferchristsake. just wander round your house and ponder how much technology of the 19th century and before you have ;-)) Jim Webster Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Jim Webster Guest Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 1:37 pm    Post subject: Re: lawnmower driver "Stephen Firth" <%steve%@malloc.co.uk> wrote in message news:1hulnyg.1u66v469xzsrsN%%steve%@malloc.co.uk...

Reasonable force when three officers are attempting to handcuff a young woman does not include gratuities brutality. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/6428865.stm I haven't seen the video, but the description in The Yorkshire Post says it isn't clear where the punches are aimed. I can't, myself, see how punching somebody can be a good way of subduing them with minimum reasonable force. Consider the medical reaction to a case of possible concussion. The CCTV does not enable one to say where punches were aimed, though it is clear they were not at her face. The thing which has made this seem particularly bad is claims that the policemen was acting in self defence, which was clearly not the case. That claim casts doubt on anything the police say, as does the fact that there is another version that he was hitting her on the upper arm in order to numb the arm, but that after hitting her five times as hard as he could, this had no effect - again that is consistent with the claim she was having an epileptic fit. it is also consistant with someone being high on drugs. If the police are having to deal with someone violent and aggressive outside a nightclub, a combination of drink and drugs is far more likely than an epileptic fit Indeed it might well have been a combination of drink and drugs that was doing it, albeit legal drugs for her medical condition.

The girl does not have cedibility, so we must depend on a detailed analysis of the video, a medical report on the injuries as to probable nature of cause and her undiagnosed epilepsy. There are also at least 2 other police officers who can witness the exact nature of the incident.
