    Yes it was on BBC Hulk News
    : The White Floyd
    29 yo illegally killed by Manchester Tram security guards in 2016
    8:15pm words exchanged cos Guards think the group are smoking dope
    “Mr Barnes responded with abusive language.”

    23:30 same guards again recognise the same group and confront them
    “Mr Barnes became aggressive to being confronted.
    He swung a drawstring bag” hitting 2 staff and ran away.
    At the point the security guards should have followed the walk away rule.
    Instead riled up they gave chase for a mile on foot and taxi. Then cornered him like a dog and restrained him on the ground
    He shouted “I can’t breathe” multiple times
    had a heart attack
    The ex-cop said
    “It won’t kill you but you will go to sleep for a while.”
    and died 7 weeks later

    “Evidence in court indicated that he had taken the cannabinoid Spice at some point that day.”

    The judge rule that the restraint amounted to assault.
    The security guards had legal advice that they should not answer questions in court.
    The family want them prosecuted.
    Ex-cops should have known that, it is disproportionate to risk chasing someone just cos they’d been abusive.
    There was always risk of causing a traffic accident etc.

    Tim Davie thinks there are two sexes. He wants BBC staff to be 50% male, 50% female, no more, no less. How many sexes are there? 10, 20, 66.66 recurring? Some people at the BBC thought there were over 100 sexes until their bosses told them to keep quiet about it. The BBC’s HR Department is probably discovering new sexes every week and in BBC Woke Fantasyland all the different answers can be true at the same time.

    There are 3 sexes. Fay Wheldon explained that in her office experience there are 3 sexes.
    Men, women and totty.
    And totty has a quite different experience with both more opportunities and more hassle.
    That totty is mostly female, but occasionally male.
    The BBC knows this phenomenon, hence it’s reluctance to employ older women as it seeks to put beautiful people at the front of its shows.
