The United Kingdom has gotten this bad. Truly sickening.

I’m 15min into the interview and I like it already so I thought I’d share it.
Short description by AI:
The video features former British MP Andrew Bridgen discussing alleged systemic corruption, child trafficking, satanism references, and abuse cover-ups. In the interview, he claims that cases of child trafficking and abuse were suppressed or ignored by UK authorities, including the police and intelligence services, despite detailed information being provided. He talks about intimidation of whistleblowers and suggests that powerful networks protect those involved, tying it into broader claims of corruption and abuse of power.
Let's not forget that it's not just Britain, but the whole world, more importantly world superpowers now.
 
You may have seen the news elsewhere but I thought I'd mention it here in the context of the state of the UK police force. Barron Trump has recently called the 999 police emergency line as a female friend of his was being beat up. Here's the transcript:

Operator: "City of London Police, how can I help you?"
Barron: "Oh I'm calling from the US, uh I just got a call from a girl, you know, she's getting beat up. The address is (redacted).
Operator: "Yeah."
Barron: "(Redacted). This was happening about eight minutes ago. I just figured out how to, how to call someone. Uh, uh it's really an emergency."
Operator: "What's her name?"
Barron: "Her name is (redacted)."
Operator: "Her date of birth?"
Barron: "She's (inaudible), she's (inaudible), it's really an emergency please."
Operator: "Yeah I know, what's her age?"
Barron: "(Redacted)."
Operator: "(Redacted) how do you know her?"
Barron: "I mean these details don't matter, she's getting beat up like I-"
Operator: "Yeah I know but I need to take information from you, so how have you come by this information?"
Barron: "Uh I got a call from her with a guy beating her up."
Operator: "Okay how do you know her?"
Barron: "I don't think these details matter she's getting beat up but okay fine, also I met her on social media, I don't think that matters."
Operator: "You know I can-"
Barron: "She's getting beat up."
Operator: "Can you stop being rude and actually answer my questions. If you want to help the person, you'll answer my questions clearly and precisely, thank you. So how do you know her?"
Barron: "I met her on social media."
Operator: "OK."
Operator: "Know the partner's name or the person that's beating her up at all?"
Barron: "No."
Operator: "And they're at home, they're not out into the street?"
Barron: "Yes, correct."
Barron: "She's getting really badly beat up and the call was about eight minutes ago, I don't know what could have happened by now."
Operator: "OK."
Barron: "So, sorry for being rude."
Operator: "(Inaudible)".
Barron: "(Inaudible)."
Barron: "For a reason I don't know (inaudible)."
Operator: "You saw a video on social media, what like a video call?"
Barron: "No, No, I (inaudible) a video call."

You can read about the case here: Barron Trump's full call with London 999 operator who told him 'stop being rude'

What caught my attention is how weird the operator's attitude was. Instead of dispatching a car immediately they repeatedly asked how young Trump knew this person, her date of birth, age, etc. I get that they probably get hoax calls and need to filter them out somehow but dang, surely they can work out the age from the date of birth to save time? And how he met that girl surely wasn't a factor determining whether she deserves to be helped.

And there's this accusation of being rude. To me, Barron was impatient rather than rude, and it's quite difficult to be be calm and collected when reporting a crime like that.

This resonates with my own experience of the police in the UK. God forbid you raise your voice to convey urgency even slightly and you get a lecture about your manners. I even wonder if their training tells them to disregard a report of a crime if it's delivered in the wrong tone of voice.

In this Facebook post about the case people reported similar experiences, for example:

Called the police about a possible intruder at my home, in the middle of a 999 call they asked me if I owned the house or rented it. Before they asked me the description of the person or why I was alarmed

Also on his side, I think some of the questions the operators ask are unnecessary. I lived abroad and had to call once when I was back here on holiday. A woman was acting erratically and running into traffic. They were asking me all kinds of questions about myself and demanding to know why I didn't have a UK number or a UK address, no idea why that was relevant in an emergency?

Dunno, this process is pretty strange to me. Maybe because in my head I contrast it with my experience with the 999 operator in Poland when they dispatched a car as soon as they had the details and address but asked me to stay on the line and answer additional questions. I was shaken up and probably sounded overly panicky but their attitude was calming rather than judgemental of my tone of voice.

And it doesn't seem to me like it has always been the case in the UK either. When I first arrived in London with a friend nearly 17 years ago we ended up in a really strange place that didn't look like a residential apartment we booked online. I called the police as soon as we noticed the door was closed and the person on the other side of the line guided us on how to get out with a calm and reassuring, yet decisive voice. And she confirmed a car was dispatched as soon as I gave her the address. No additional questions were asked, just: "a police car is on the way, stay on the line and let's see if we can get you girls out of there before they arrive. If not, they'll be with you in under 10 minutes, so don't worry, you'll be fine." She did take my details in case the call was disconnected, that's all.

I guess when you spend your days chasing people for "offensive" social media posts that oppose genocide it's easy to think that anything less than a peaceful voice is rude.
