He wasn’t detained either. He was charged by mail with a summons(postal requisition) and told to show up for his court date in May. In the US an investigative detention means stopping you in one place while in the UK detention generally only means bringing you to the police station and holding you for a charge. In the UK they call the former a stop. You’d have to necessarily be arrested for the later. He didn’t have either happen. I don’t even think he’s in the UK right now(which is likely why they did a postal requisition for a crime as serious as rape without issuing an arrest warrant and starting the extradition process). They want him to come in on his own.

Supposedly they did interview him at one point but that’s about it.

I thought he wasn’t even in the UK to be arrested. Did he go back?

Edit:

Brand has not been placed under arrest, the Met tells NPR. The agency says he was interviewed and then charged via “postal requisition” — a court summons informing him of the charges.

I guess the OP thinks he got arrested by mail since that’s not even the article title.

You’ll be hard pressed to find lawyers who are both competent and willing to directly lie to a judge.

Sure but shoggoths have a lot more eyes.

Dude actually looks like he could pull off short 80s jean shorts if he tried.

Exactly. It seems people really need it spelled out to them: he’s saying protectionism works in the long term but they’re old and will all be dead(a keynes quote “The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead”). He’s wrong though. Protectionism, which are essentially self sanctions, can develop an industry as much as not. Nothing’s a vacuum.

How likely do you think it is that he’ll actually return to the UK to face charges? Or that Trump still extradite him?

Here at Lemmy we’ll deliver fucking idiots right to your computer.

It sounds like she got a case of Rhabdomyolysis from getting so bruised up. Hard to say how bad it really was. Rare to have that happen with relatively minor blunt trauma but not unheard of.

The running thought is these non-native European honeybees couldn’t find forage at the right times due to climate change and these massive commercial hives died of malnutrition. That’s why introduced species and monoculture agriculture don’t work out so well.

I think you could take an opossum. They generally forget they can bite while hissing. A puma on the other hand…

I’m sure it was a misunderstanding in education regarding how soon you’d die without dialysis. That or she’s refusing. In truth she wouldn’t likely die in that short of timeframe even without dialysis. But I figure that’s the hard deadline the doctors gave her to decide before she starts experiencing significant problems that may preclude her from changing her mind. Generally if you’re 4 days away from dying of kidney failure you have encephalopathy from uremia so bad that you’re not going to be making coherent social media posts. I’m not a fan of the fact that even the BBC ran this story uncritically.

Can you milk your car while breeding a new one?

In the 00s I can see you saying angry but upbeat. In the 90s though? It’s all my girlfriend/boyfriend left me, I’m lonely and depressed. I wanna be your dominated love slave.

Green Day was peak sad and horny.

Just because I have COPD doesn’t mean I won’t shit on your floor.

Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!

It has everything to do with farming. Indian states can’t cull cattle by slaughter but produce an immense amount of milk and have female productive cows having a male calf roughly every 36 months(really less than that, but we’ll be conservative). Where the hell do you think these male calves are going if they can’t be slaughtered or killed? They’re largely “naturally” removed by starvation and dehydration. Real humane. They’re certainly not all ending up in sanctuaries. Same with the majority of unproductive female cattle. With a productive cow producing a calf roughly every year over their four to five year production period and the natural lifespan being around 20 years there’s a mathematical problem here that results in starving urban cattle. That or we entirely replace India’s human population with cattle.

I ain’t leaving my stethoscope around for you shitbirds to play with. I don’t even let my coworkers use it

Chickens are just fragile anyway even free range. Go ahead and try to raise your own and tally up how many die between sexing to get female chicks and just environmental deaths. Of note, I’m no vegan, but the idea that egg eating is somehow morally superior to meat eating is kind of silly to me. Like milk, the things you do to create the conditions to collect plenty of it ain’t without harm and death.

It’d frankly be pretty wasteful to raise eggs or milk without occasionally eating whatever you cull. See India’s starving abandoned urban cattle eating trash for a practical example of that.

Edit; OP deleted their account citing me as a major reason when I never even replied to them, lol. Some folks get defensive about the damnedest things.
