@rjohnston4 @listenherefat @ReichlinMelnick Which law do you have in mind? Or do you just mean the general law against copyright infringement, which obviously isn’t specific to the Saturday afternoon blackout?

@LessCrime @listenherefat @ReichlinMelnick Except there are laws on the books enforcing it, specifically ones that preclude pubs from circumventing the blackout using live streams.

Absurdly unhinged to claim that the FCC could invoke "public interest obligations" of broadcasters to force them not to broadcast other football games the same day as the Army/Navy game. Truly tinpot dictatorship stuff.
Ed O'Keefe@edokeefe
Unclear about the legality here, but the executive order adds: Sec. 2. Implementation. (a) The Secretary of Commerce and the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) shall coordinate with the CFP Committee, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, related organizations, other appropriate Government agencies, and the playoffs' broadcast and media rights partners with the goal of establishing an exclusive window for the Army-Navy Game, during which no other college football game is broadcast. (b) The Chairman of the FCC shall consider reviewing the public interest obligations of broadcast licensees to determine whether those obligations would require that the Army-Navy Game remain a national service event.

@royllovians @bouguereau_stan The vast majority of the population were agricultural labourers. They wouldn't come into contact with those people

The actual truth, which people have repeatedly refused when I explain it, is that roughly 25–35 generations back, you are descended from ***every single*** person who was alive in your ancestors' entire region of the world so long as they have any surviving descendants today.

@rjohnston4 @listenherefat @ReichlinMelnick It’s part of the contract between the leagues and the broadcasters, but the government has nothing to do with it (and the leagues occasionally agree on exceptions). bbc.co.uk/sport/football…
English
@listenherefat @ReichlinMelnick It started that way, yes, but it’s now enforced by law (pubs can’t legally show live streams in that window, etc).

@AngellinaBrady @StagecoachCNL Surely if you go by bus to Windermere Station, you can then go by train to anywhere else in Great Britain with a train station?
English
All societal groups (🏴) are victims less often due to the global crime drop. But the drop wasn't equal across groups, so people who are not White, are disabled or who are in poverty are now more likely to be victims, **relative to the rest of society**.

@O_TTravels @mark395625 Although in-effect they’re running two separate stations: Connect services every 30 minutes from Platform 1 (where boarding seems to very often be open reasonably early) and 4tph intercity from Platforms 2–4. It’s the intercity services where the problem seems to lie.
English
@mark395625 @LessCrime LNER are good at this, they have really long turnaround times usually so their services are almost always boarding 20 mins before. Bit tricky at London St Pancras though for EMR with 6tph and only 4 platforms
English
@mark395625 @O_TTravels Sadly, EMR routinely do this at St Pancras. EMR have some great staff across their network, but the dateline staff at St Pancras seem to have this deep-seated need to keep passengers off the platforms for as long as possible.
English
@O_TTravels More concerning is the fact that the 1802.isnt showing a platform so close to departure

@DonWeatherburn @robertgraham I think she might have missed the joke there.
English
@robertgraham Let me get this straight. You wage war on Iran and Iran responds by trying to block the Strait of Hormuz, but it’s every other country’s job to clean up the mess you made.
English
We did our part, destroying 200% of Iran's military.
It's now other country's job to make the Strait of Hormuz safe for shipping. They are the ones to blame for the closing of the straight, not us, after all, we destroyed 300% of Iran's military.

@RogerthePolice @BladeoftheS Section 1(2) of the 1997 act prohibits “any firearm which either has a barrel less than 30 centimetres in length or is less than 60 centimetres in length overall” with certain exceptions. So it was, and was intended to be, a de-facto ban on handguns.
English
@BladeoftheS The ban was not on handguns. It extended an existing ban on any weapon that can be fired repeatedly without the need to reload. Many handguns are still legal to purchase and own.
English
Nigel Farage said the ban on handguns brought in after Dunblane was “ludicrous” and should be lifted, arguing handguns ought to be legalised and licensed again.
The man is deranged, he won't be happy until school shootings are happening in the UK again.

@Zachariahskylab @RyzardL @markyzaguirre @IterIntellectus You could also look just at the number of shootings in NYC, which went down from about 5,200 in 1993 to about 700 in 2035. And that’s despite the population having increased by about a million people over the same period.

@mmmmnmmnmn @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc Nice try, but that law only applies when a person trespasses on a railway (which there’s no suggestion the person was doing) *and* refuses to leave when required to by a member of staff (which there’s also no suggestion they did).

Nice one fellas, £80 uber to Luton airport because your man here fell asleep leaving 50 of us stranded outside the station in West Hampstead, I’ll take some solid compensation thanks @TLRailUK

English
@LessCrime @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc Ah fair.
In law its still regarded as private but youre right about the public ownership.
English
@mmmmnmmnmn @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc The station is publicly owned. That isn’t actually the defining feature of whether or not a person can take a photo in a station, but nevertheless the station is publicly owned.
English
@LessCrime @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc ?
Thats literally my whole entire point.
Public space does not mean its not privately owned.
What you and others aren't realising is that just because a private owner allows a space to be used for public, doesnt mean that you have the same rights as a publicly owned space
English
@mmmmnmmnmn @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc Somewhere doesn’t have to be publicly owned for it to be a public place in law (although the station is in-fact publicly owned!). Plenty of privately owned property nevertheless falls within definitions of a public place. The exact details depend on the law in question.
English
@pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc I wish people would learn what a fucking public space is before they start with the "oh you can record here"
Is the station publicly owned you dickhead?
English
@Guard_Amos It may not have been what you intended, but your post reads (at least to me) as blaming passengers for having unreasonable expectations. Wouldn’t it have been better to focus on blaming government for not providing sufficient rolling stock?
English
Why do passengers think TOC's can click their fingers and get extra stock?
Alex McKnight 🇺🇦 🇬🇧@alexmcknight
. @CrossCountryUK Manchester to Birmingham and then Birmingham to Exeter today. Both massively over crowded passengers stood for hours all through the train and vestibule areas. Get some bigger and better trains! It’s been like this for years #Sardines #GreatBritishRailways

Fellow criminologists -- is there anyone teaching gen AI courses in CJ programs? Let me know and will send them a copy of the book.
If no one is, feel free to get in touch. Happy to discuss doing a seminar/short course.

@NoelDolphin @owenoo Is it, for example, that EMR and Network Rail judge the paperwork needed to adjust the safe system of work outweighs the benefits? Or is there another reason?
English
@NoelDolphin @owenoo I understand it was meant to be temporary, but it’s now indefinite. Which is why I don’t understand the rationale for not automating the lowering of the pantograph to help manage the human factors you mentioned in your other reply.
