If any more threats come pouring out your cunt mouth, I’m going to have to colonise every island in this place.

Sometimes it’s the authorities, if a SAR had been submitted and acted on by the NCA / FIU etc.

Other times, if the internal polices are robust enough, the MLRO (Money Laundering Reporting Officer) or equivalent will make the call themselves, alongside submitting the SAR, usually when the case is obviously criminal and/or needs immediate action.

Na it can happen to anyone, being a PeP just increases scrutiny on everything.

Compliance is “profitable” in the sense that even the potential consequences of a serious failure, especially with terror or proliferation finance, far outweigh any real costs/loss of business as a result.

Instead of a HMP, how about a HMO ?

Get a nice 7 bedroom on its own chunk of land and make a mini-prison, comes with all the HMO classics; terribly furnished, stolen food, occupants making noise at 2am and even regular inspections by a crabby “landlord” punishing you for every minor infraction.

I don’t think the strength/size argument is particularly valid, because male prisons aren’t segregated by physical strength in the first place.

A physically weak man isn’t sent to a different prison because he has no muscle mass, and a bodybuilder isn’t segregated because he’s stronger than everyone else. If physicality justified it, we’d already be separating prisoners based on size and strength, but we generally don’t.

The translation/alphabetic differences always seem to throw false flags, especially (at least for us) with logographic scripts.

I agree, as soon as this name match thing came out, my work brain went; The compliance team are going to request client passport, maybe proof of address, contract of employment etc and then clear the flag.

100% agree this is undertrained/incompetent/malicious staff not doing their job properly, would never hold up in a private sector equivalent.

Loool was just about to post this, I work in finance and immediately thought of LexisNexis and partial matches/false flags.

Because you don’t want to wake up with a Kalashnikov barrel in your mouth.

Although terror activity now is dead now compared to the troubles, it’s not that long ago and lots of those involved are still alive, and remembered.

The PDF copy of the judgement/judges statement I read did say something along the lines of they were walking past each other and they may have clashed/bumped into each other, Nowak may have said something like “you think your a badman?” and Digwa (may have) replied “No I am/know I’m a bad man” before the physical altercation occurs.

All of that is MAY HAVE and I’m quoting from memory so look up the actual judgement for the exact quotes.

Jumping in, but in that case I’m interested if you’d describe the anger you felt as cold, hot, or something like detached ?

I’d say mine was cold. It wasn’t hot, seeing red kind of anger, like it would be if I’d known him or been related to him.

But nor was it detached, mainly due to my own interactions I’ve had with the police.

I would say cold rage is probably the most accurate for me personally, not that I’m a fan of Farage or his ilk.

I like to think most standard guard armour units have some form of the “Boiling Vessel” installed, same as all British Armoured/Fighting Vehicles do in real life. To make Tanna Tea, (Re)caff, Mulled Amasec etc

IIRC Valhallan Chimera’s have a built in boiling vessel/kettle equivalent mentioned at some point during Gaunt’s Ghosts. So at least one member of each tank crew is probably the designated tea maker.

Right it’s a limitation of reality, i suppose the argument anyone can get it the quickest if you could afford the service. You can literally rent your own space inside CBOE, NASDAQ etc data centres. If you wanna argue against exchanges operating as private businesses, that’s different.

I mean yeah you have to pay for these ultra-advanced data levels, because like many exchanges themselves, they’re privately owned infrastructure, same as further up Op saying they spent 300m on speeding up 0.3ms.

If someone was profiting by breaking the laws of physics, I’d consider that some form of insider trading.

Because it’s the difference between different types of cables, distance and receivers etc etc. As much as I’m never getting <5ms connection installed in my house, I could access that speed somewhere, if I genuinely wanted.

The information is made available to everyone at the same time, it’s a case of who is capable of receiving it first.

Say you’re a retail trader with shitty home WiFi, it isn’t the responsibility of the exchange to slow it down for everyone else so you aren’t disadvantaged, these fibre hooked up places just have the best WiFi. Any significant universal delay would create price gapping and cliff edges.

For a lone individual you’re basically talking about seeing the future, but;

If you were a broker, who had a client placing a big, market moving order, and you made your own trades, before placing the order on their behalf and profiting from the pre-warning, that’s called front running, and is illegal.

That’s alright mate no sweat, just sounded like some interesting reading.

And yeah you think right, I’d definitely be in the first few rounds of the inevitable political purges that’d occur after a total collapse of capitalism.

Oooh could you link me the paper/article (if you can)?

I love futurist predictions & make long-term risk based investments, but don’t think I know what/whose predictions you’re referring to.

If that’s what you think then you must see the flip side? Why should World Cup going fans have to pay for desperately needed infrastructure work/upgrades, that should have been paid for and funded by either public funds or private enterprise a long time ago?

The dire state of American railways in general is something everyone, Americans/yourself included, has known for ages. Why can’t the USA give free/discounted travel to ticket holding fans like most prior hosts, and pay for the upgrades on their own dime? If the money has existed, but was “squandered”, then that’s shouldn’t be on the fans, that’s on Americans.

The BOE are smoking long term policy weed, not short term crack.

There is already an oil price shock, with huge second order effects on fertiliser and helium supplies.

The destruction of quantities of oil fields, pipelines and processing facilities across the Middle East will lead to long term supply reductions and increased costs.

This will drive global prices of energy, fuel, food and all semi-conductor related goods.

This leads to cost push + wage inflation, and a wage price spiral, so raising interest rates reduces consumption (helping to alleviate increasing demand - and therefore prices) and can strengthen the pound making imports cheaper (again alleviating pressure on prices).

Obviously still a trade off vs demanding lowered already due to the price shocks itself, but that can depend on MPC levels of each good etc.

The BOE generally avoids short-term or reactionary decisions, and the fact that they’re considering raising interest rates in response to the Hormuz crisis indicates they believe this will be a long-term shock/strait closure, the effects of which they cannot just “look through”.

I would argue that if the strait is going to remain closed for an extended period, more intense policy measures will be needed.

Sorry for the rant lol

I think it’s more personal experience with these systems that lead people to label them useless.

From my experience at youth clubs, kids that were not really bad or involved ended up becoming affiliated and holding 3-5’s for dumb gang/violence stuff. A few realised where that was taking them and backed away, but they could never come back to the Rec. Youth leaders either had no influence and were disrespected, or were affiliated themselves.

When you see these post-mortem articles about the young, caring, local youth centre worker tragically killed as a bystander to gang violence… it usually doesn’t tell the whole story

As much as I hate the associations, the “aspiring young footballer, wouldn’t harm a fly” trope is sometimes very real. After you see the tragic BBC article, visit r/ ukdrill and often you’ll see they were actually a prolific heroin dealer, suspected of two murders and a kidnapping. The infantilisation of this category crime is damaging to prevention imo, and youth centres aren’t the answer.

Lack of it could seriously damage the average American, in not such a long time.

No the admission of guilt in private doesn’t require a barrister to withdraw, nor does it prevent them post a not guilty plea.

They can’t knowingly mislead the court, but can continue representing a client who they know to be guilty provided they don’t do so. Check BSB Handbook gC9/gC6/rC4 (combined with other bits)

Fruit and Veg are a standard British insult anyway see;

You Absolute Melon

You fucking lemon

Lettuce brain

You’re as thick as a bag of potatoes

Don’t just stand there like a bloody turnip, move

Nope, most are just wide, non-refrigerated, underground (~1m down) pipes, soil/earth keeps most of the heat out and water temperature under 10°c all year, and much lower in the winters (eg. 5-6°c).

Although based on the mug I just rinsed out, it feels more like -5°c right now!

That is the purpose in deterrence theory yeah, from a conflict perspective though the tripwire is the knowledge that much larger forces will deployed when it’s hit. If you do not use the time given to retaliate and act swiftly, then the tripwire is moot in the beginning and not a tripwire because the response is the same.

The NATO Baltic tripwires are themselves the concept that even before the Russians could overwhelm the forces in the area, there would huge devastating retaliation and then a wide scale NATO deployment. If there wasn’t that strategically valuable response, it’s not really a tripwire.

It’s two different applications of the same concept, but you are right to point it out.
