i think if this police chief lived in the UK half of south east london and old street would be arrested. god bless the american constitution for safeguarding guns at home and saggy pants, just a shame about all the other liberties they chose to ignore..


for those that can't be *arsed* to read the article this police chief, with the great name of david dicks, is stopping and searching kids with slow slung trousers in michigan and the usual great commotion has risen:


to quote the guardian direct "Your new practice of stopping and threatening young men with disorderly conduct for wearing 'saggy pants' is a blatant violation of the United States Constitution," the ACLU wrote to Dicks in a letter last week.


"Although you were recently appointed chief of the Flint police department, you cannot appoint yourself chief of the 'fashion police'. You have no power to criminalise a style of dress because you find it distasteful. We ask that you halt this practice immediately.""

we need to ask dicks if newfangled bottom cleavage counts, we should start writing to the guy and totally freak him out with peculiar british requests.


i also think retrograde arrests should be made of z list celebs with thongs out in the late 90's early 2000's, this could seriously help clear our newsagents of tat celeb mags.

    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
    • I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.
    • Not in mine either if I knew they were there 🤣
    • Trees, eh? I feel your pain, EDP, but I like the light provided by the pollarding. I'm interested in the gingko, tho.  I love a tree, me - Hillsboro Rd has lost about five over the last 20 years (2x lime, cherry, strawberry, and, er...). The council did take down about 5 ill original lime trees behind our house but then gave us Golden Rain trees. God, if only we had known what a PITA they are. The main problems are massive invasive surface roots which have buggered up my back fence and paving, plus thousands of vigorously self-seeding offspring every year, which I go around pulling up before they turn into trees. And the leaves are tough things, like horse chestnuts, so don't rot easily. I hate them.  Wish they could have been something native and attractive, like birch or something... council isn't interested in helping.  Ah, well.
