matthew_weaver there you go, you only had to google it

Policing and detective work are completely different skill sets. It was always silly to promote from within unless the candidate was exceptional.

Making a bad story even worse is the poor research from journalist matthew_weaver The advert was for direct entry Insp/Supt. Nothing to do with '12-week detective training programme'. Lazy copy & paste from previous articles? Or just ignorance?

How many 19 year olds even understand what “strategic experience” means?!

I'm surprised they understood the math in the ad well enough to be offended

Red Bull '4pm Finish' tube ad banned over implied health claimsThe Advertising Standards Authority says while the advert was light-hearted, it made health claims that are against EU rules. Anything but tackle the knife crime epidemic eh? Good!! Drank loads of the stuff for years but still no wings!!! 🤨As it was said in my Environmental Justice Class last semester, Red Bull has harmful chemicals that are related to (if not absolutely the same as) Cocaine.😐I would certainly advise caution to anyone who is thinking about buying this drink.

YouTube bans Britain First ad that users had to watch while looking for Brexit'YouTube does not allow ads or videos that promote hatred, intolerance or discrimination on the platform' Ban YouTube in Britain until they apologies... Oh, Vladimir won’t like that! I am being thick? YouTube decides who advertises with them? So why have they had to pull it when they didn’t have to take the business in the first place.? And if it played when searching for Brexit, someone at YouTube surely had to code that in?

Gillette advert: New ad tackles toxic masculinity – but people are vowing to BOYCOTT brandGILLETTE’S NEW advert has been met with mixed reviews, after the razor brand launched a campaign to tackle toxic masculinity and promote a new kind of positive masculinity, as well as showing its support for the MeToo movement. Boycotting them since yesterday I love the ad. Any man with an issue with it is most likely part of the problem. Why do they think it's wrong to teach our children to be better? Someone needs to make an example of the actions of the toddler in chief. All I can say is that I have always found the Gillette shaving range particularly price prohibitive except in Tokyo.

I was flabbergasted middle-class men thought there was anything surprising about middle-class women nursing an inner misandry. keithbaldrey If I wanted opinions form woke socialists I'd go back to university again.

We have removed this messaging’ I am a professional Logo and Graphics Specialist.. Umm.. celulite is bad for you. Is it shameful to say cancer should be treated? I have this brother-in-law with a bat shit crazy wife. She once found a letter from an “Avon” and thought he was cheating with her. We laughed our asses off afterwards. She was serious as a heart attack and practically kicked his ass.
