    I guess my first question would be whether there's a single central API stack, or if you'd need to connect to each force individually using whatever APIs they have decided to use, if any at all. Then my second question would be whether they're willing to let you connect to it at all, or if they've tendered the rights to be the exclusive upload portal for shitty parking photos.

    I may actually reverse the order of those questions.

    Good questions. Just did some browsing. Each force seems to have a different form to complete! I suspect what may be happening behind the scenes is that the Nextbase site is just putting all the information into an email template and sending it to a specific email address at each force - perhaps with a link to the videos/photos (which are encrypted and stored on the nextbase site?).

    I think I need to find someone in the police force to ask about it really which will be easier said than done.

    Yeah.

    I mean, I don't know, but isn't it generally considered bad form to upload pictures of peple and thier kids to random internet messageboards populated largely by middle aged webmongs without the consent of the subjects?

    Also, what's going on with that blue roll just left there?

    Outraged.

    EDIT: My mistake. It appears to be a discarded towel(?) 'twixt a tradespersons rubbish recepticle perched atop a small portable platform and some sort of cylindrical object.

    So that's alright then. Please do carry on.

    Seems to me that Jim's identified and investigating a potential business opportunity, which isn't really very Karen at all. Although he should definitely call his new site ParkingKaren.com or similar.

    There is no legal right to privacy in a public place and people can take all the photos of you in the street that they want. They only need your consent if they plan to use those photos commercially.

    I said bad firm not illeagal. I'm really not that fussed to be honest, I'm just being deliberately obtuse for the childish lolz.

    I'll set up a TalkBack for the footage Jim, and get the doughnut eating lads I play football with to have a look every now and again. Can't be any less effective* than they are already.

    * asked the inspector I'm drinking with this evening "we're failing mate".

    Got home to a power cut that had fucked my computer, and other things. Partridge is borked. Will have to deal with things down the line.

    I liked the seventies, but this is starting to take the piss.

    See Clarkson is saying the crop this year will be disastrous, presumably because it’s been too dry. Last year’s was disastrous because it was too wet. Doesnt that suggest he’s trying to grow the wrong things?

  • 8 Aug 2025, 11:42 a.m.

    Fucksake, don't get me started on Clarkson again!

  • 8 Aug 2025, 11:52 a.m.

    I don't mind Clarkson and I like Clarkson's Farm. And I get that it's a tv show and it needs drama. But, if every year the harvest is a disaster because of the weather, you must be doing something wrong.

  • 8 Aug 2025, 11:55 a.m.

    I would hazard a guess that Clarkson is being sensational because he knows dumb c**ts will watch it. Otherwise it quickly turns into a documentary on British farming.

  • 8 Aug 2025, 12:32 p.m.

    Haha! This dumb cunt has outwitted him then. I can't listen to the whiny manipulative shit. He's one of those Machiavellian commentators who has mastered the pithy easy lie, that is easily unpicked, but takes a long detailed explanation to do so. Which is fucking tiring when so many rich establishment and money aligned entitled cunts are at it, intentionally undermining the outcomes for the majority of ordinary people. I don't find it funny, or charming. I find it fucking harrowing, in the sense that I want to plough the shit into the ground and be sure that no more words come out.

  • 8 Aug 2025, 12:54 p.m.

    Yeah - he should get a better crystal ball so he knows what the weather is going to be like on his farm the year before - cheap bastard.
