Female cops in England went undercover as joggers, wearing tight-fitting clothes in a bid to elicit catcalls — and then arrested some of the men who hit on them, according to a report.

The Surrey Police Department created a trial task force, which lasted about a month, and led to 18 arrests for offenses like sexual assault, harassment, and theft, The Telegraph reported.

“We get catcalled. We get honked at. People slow down just to stare — or lean out the window to shout something. It’s so common, but it’s harassment and it needs to be recognized as such,” Officer Abby Hayward told the Telegraph.

“This behavior is either a precursor to something more serious — or it’s ignorance and it’s fixable,”

Indeed! The skin-tight show at my gym is at times alarming. Modesty/propriety/good taste is unknown today.

“how about not dressing in skin tight jogging clothes, there are options, geez”

The crazy thing is the clothes they are wearing are pretty conservative compared to what most women wear in the gym these days.

Cheer up. Nigel Farage himself has said at least the US has President Trump.

MAGA and MAHA give us a fighting chance.

Ohio had a place like that on Route 33. Johnny Appleseed park.
It got cleaned up by vigilantes in the early 90’s.
The state tore it down a couple years later.

Staring at a woman is a crime?

But if the women in the picture are the ones, then staring at them is at least poor judgment! And catcalls? For chubby women jogging? In their dreams, maybe.

And if they hear an Arabic accent they’ll probably pretend not to hear.

“ Marc Steyn calls the British police wonkers. They are notoriously evil/stupid.” “wonkers” or “wankers” there is a difference?

To catch more men, they should run down the street naked.

I am pretty sure he says wankers

wanker
Share definition
UK/Aus/NZ slang for:

1. Someone excessively and annoyingly pretentious and/or false, with a strong likelihood of working in the creative industries, especially “new media”. Very high populations of wankers are to be found in certain areas of London including Shoreditch and Hoxton; see also Shoreditch twat.

2. Someone with a faintly sociopathic lack of regard for other people; see also arsehole.

3. Someone useless, inefficient or time-wasting, especially in a place or work and/or position of responsibility.

4. A general term of abuse.

5. Someone who masturbates.
1. He spent twenty minutes telling me about the studio’s new pathways they’re developing in innovative synergistic blue-sky-media treatment concepts. In a fake Cockney-geezer accent. What a fucking wanker.

2. That cunt in the sports car just totally cut me up. What a fucking wanker.

3. He’s being paid £25/hour and he just sits there playing Freecell whilst the rest of us do all his work for him, because he’s the boss’s mate. What a fucking wanker.

4. You’re a fucking wanker.

5. You’re a fucking wanker.

I thought the same thing too about that Cincinnati beatdown, that maybe someone in the offending group made an off color comment to the female and the man stepped up to defend her. But being the demographics of the incident are what they are, and the administration of the department there appears rife with DEI, along with a complicit media, that information won’t come out if true.
