Have the UK police got nothing else to do at all?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1216017/Police-threaten-mother-cells--pulling-dead-plant-flowerbed.html?ITO=1490&referrer=yahoo[^] These kinds of things are really shameful. It is as if the police have solved all crimes, and protected citizens from all possible crimes, and hence there is nothing else to do other than things like these. Shameful!

Ah, the Daily Mail. Responsible, none sensationalist journalism at its best.

I simply don't understand what your comment has got to do with that actual thing that has happened! I don't care if DM is a reposible news agency or not! The point is that thing whatever has happened, is really really wrong and shameful! That is all.
My point is; the Daily Mail has been known to get the news wrong just for the sake of a cheap sensationalist headline. They ran an article a couple of years ago that the EU was going to ban grocers from selling curved cucumbers. Let's just say that this was complete and utter Horlicks.

Where is your proof of this outlandish claim? The Daily Mail is a good news source, reporting on important things for the regular people, rather than the heads of power.

Pretty soon you will have to worry about carbon crimes, bio crimes (being sick out in public or not having your routine injections), and the population growth police.

No proof? You insane claim that the Daily Mail is fictional fairytales has been publicly marked as false.

There have already been cases that could be seen as bio crimes - people purposefully drugged people and injected their blood into them to give them HIV That is, IMO, a crime that should be punished by slow impalement.
I was thinking more along the lines of innocent people being prosecuted for having the flu or failing to take injections or have their children injected.

Not so much being prosecuted, but there are plans here in the UK for schools and health visitors to be notified of children who haven't had their MMR jabs or equivalent.

The regulation that the Daily Mail (and then other tabloids) picked up on was related to regulation (EEC) No 1677/8 laid out to specify quality standards for cucumbers. At no stage do these regulations talk about a cucumber having to be straight - they do state that class 1 cucumbers must have an arc of no more than 10 mm for every 10 cm of cucumber; and if they don't the arc must be no more than 20 mm for 10cm to be a class 2 cucumber. Perhaps you'd care to read the actual regulations yourself[^].

You've never left Ohio, you're scared to even leave the house, but you know what constitutes a good news source in the UK ? I assume a 'good news source' is whatever panders to your world view and bias ?

I can't believe I've written an entire post concerning cucumber regulations. Has the lounge really come to this?

Hey, it's a global pandemic don't you know. Apparently stopping breathing for 2 hours is about to be classified a pandemic as well.

Oh the irony! Sensationalist reporting of an investigation... leads to... People not taking the MMR jab... leads to... Sensationalist reporting of prople not taking MMR jab... I would love to know where this is going to lead now, but I don't quite have the imagination....
