    Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

    I,certainly, agree with the outcome of this situation, but it does leave this action open to a lawsuit. It's determining on an outcome before it's happened. Personally, I think based on past activities, it was the right call, but would a court support the police on 'future crime' when the...

    Well, I believe the police treated all of this group equally.

    Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

    Just to play 'Devil's Advocate', how do you know these are "innocent children"? If you watch the video posted on them being dispersed one even said they come every year. So, if this is so, and there's been bad experiences reported, why wouldn't action be taken to avoid repeated issues...

    Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

    Just a question as I know you've not phrased it as such (maybe @bert38 can answer), but when it comes to a 'protected class' which law supersedes which when it comes to racial discrimination and potential criminal and/ or antisocial behaviour? It seems pretty obvious to me, but maybe the law...

    Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

    I didn't watch this yesterday, but it's a really similar technique I introduced to my team on the doors by visually profiling groups or individuals splintering off and wanting to come into the clubs. You can spot 90% of who's whom just in the vid as they stick out like a sore thumb if you know...

    I'm confused. Why is there a Big Black Cock thread on Bluemoon...?

    Hip Hop/Rap Appreciation thread

    I still wear my oversized black 'Jonny Blaze' hoodie from time to time! Can't help it and it must be 20 years old!

    I had a look at the price. It's hefty when you consider there's no guarantee it will survive!

    It, deservedly, won a fair few prestigious TV awards.

    Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

    Firstly, there was no swearing at each other. In fact, no actual insults, so I'll give him that. Secondly, we had a discussion and it was resolved that he didn't know what he was talking about, so the discussion was over. A relatively polite interaction for once, so I'll respect him for that...

    Proving everybody's point that you talk bollocks. You don't even know what position you hold since you've argued both ways. Toodle pip.

    Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

    Okay. I'll ask one last time and make it easy for you... Are you against police action of redirecting these people back on the train because of a "protected class" or are you condoning the action based on information on [past] behaviour of possible thievery as they were in a group? It's...

    Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

    So, again, having an argument from a faulty premise. Quelle surprise.

    What are you watching on youtube right now?

    So this is one you'd have to watch right through. I came away, shocked it's still available and empathy with the outcome which goes against my better nature, but I could understand it. Thoughts...?

    So explain the crux of your 'disagreement' with others cos it seems to be from opposing positions which is why you're getting 'push back' as the Yanks say.

    Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

    When I worked the door you got 'information' on the 'group' if you were experienced. That would be style of clothing, eye contact, body language, a splitting off. I didn't necessarily stop groups, but I would delay a gathering straight away. One gets to control the outcome that way. A delayed...

    Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

    Actually, scratch that question. If the group redirected back onto the train were all 'profiled as individuals' and got together as a group, where would the police stand?

    Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

    Let me ask you a question; in the late 80s-early 90s I know of police turning around skinheads and known footy rivals back onto trains because they caught wind of possible activities ahead; since they hadn't 'broken a law' and were profiled for their background of previous actions, do you think...
