Do not play the video?

Watch them outside of your house and spare us from the 'feel safe at home' BS?

If this is what makes her feel unsafe then she is not ready to become a member of society.

She is still in the infancy stage if her life and a serious psychological assessment is required.

As for chief farter in question, she is a complete numpty who's internet access should be removed for a couple of months .

And you are so confident in your opinion you posted it anonymously.

Non Anonymous post. If her skin is that thin she needs medical help.

I keep saying the US is lost after the Great Pumpkin was elected.

Yet with Brexit, the new online legislation and Terror Act pulling normal citizens aside for no lawyer, no keeping silence interviews, the UK is on the brink themselves.

The first two phrases you need are "am I free to go?" and "I want a lawyer". If the person asking the questions says you do not have the right to legal representation then he can explain his reasoning to your lawyer. If for some strange reason you waive your right to legal representation you can change your mind. You can still remain silent (or "no comment") but the court (be it a jury or a bench of Magistrates) are entitled to draw an "adverse inference" from a suspect's failure or refusal to answer questions in interview. Even with this change to the law your lawyer is very likely to advice you to remain silent or no comment.

Most important of all: Do not take legal advice from fools like me on the internet.

> The first two phrases you need are "am I free to go?" and "I want a lawyer".

Sounds US-centric.

> Most important of all: Do not take legal advice from fools like me on the internet.

True, just like Abraham Lincoln posted yesterday on Twixxer.

I think there’s more to it than this. The stuff about child visitation should be a clue.

Maybe the mention of physical fights should be a clue to the safety comments

To the victim, the fart videos were a contnuation of aggression.

Clearly the farter is an unstable person to continue sending the videos after a police warning, would you want someone like that knowing where you live?

Unfortunately there's little other than a restraining order such as this that you can do in response to someone being a prat. You're not allowed to slap them any more even if they deserve it.

…holding her smartphone camera to her rear end, farting into it while smirking throughout. How does that even work? How is she holding it to her bottom, but also visibly smirking in the video? I'm trying to imagine adequate but reasonable contortions to make that happen, and failing. Unless she was wearing this smirk somewhere else??

Perhaps her [1]merkin was smirking?

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkin

I initially misread that as "murkan" -- c.f. 'Murka! -- c.f. America!

Maybe you could see her cheeks going up ?

Smirking isn't just visible, it's aubible - laughter, you've heard of it, right?

Upvoted for Vertical Smirk

I fart in your general direction

« ... holding her smartphone camera to her rear end, farting into it while smirking throughout.

How does that even work?»

My thought exactly.

All I could imagine was that she had her head thrust well between her legs at the time which, while speaking to some gymnastic athleticism, is rather a case of being hoisted by one's own petard, I would have thought.

Although as a story I would have kept the dead donkey. The flatulence was quite incidental to the harrassment using a carrier service. I imagine if she were to recite The Tay Bridge Disaster to her victim she would have received a stiff but well deserved custodial sentence. The same delivered in Welsh would deserve the black cap.

Reminds me of a certain head of state whose lips typically form a rounded sphincter shape prior to his dumping another load of falsehood laced bullshit on his adoring acolytes usually bookended by an insufferably smug smirk.

Hoist by her own Le Pétomane more like

Alimentary my dear Watson. She contorted herself into an appropriate shape. A rectangle perhaps?

A lemon entry, my dear Watson, looks like a smirk

With flexibility like that she should be making millions on only-fans.

This article feels very daily mail.

It does, it is. But surely you'll accept that since life first crawled out of a swamp, farting has been hilarious, and the phone adds the vaguest most cyberfartery angle to the story?

I wonder if they were good, long, noisy, wet farts? Was the quality of them a contributor to the severity of the crime?

And more importantly, how does this leave the law around intentionally letting off an SBD in a crowded lift? I hope rampant regulation hasn't just made that a criminal offence.

You read it. You commented on it. You supported it.

(Me too, but I accept the negative things that says about me with a little shame but no complaint.)

Donald Trump wannabe?

Come on el reg, lift your game.

If this isn't tickling your fancy there's always Viz.

They couldn't resist the opportunity for a few 'explosive' flatulence-based puns, but I agree they parped on about it a bit too long

Then again, the Reg often has articles about Wind and Biogas, this could come under their unclean energy topic

And in any case, it is in the erm, buttnotes section.

.. I'll get me coat

She was also said to be unaware that her actions were illegal

Even after the police warning?

Gee, not the brightest bulb in there.

Inescapably given the story I suppose, brought "gas light" to mind but clearly this lamp's flame had been extinguished.

I believe uncombusted coal gas used to pong a bit.

The police are not noted for knowing exactly what is or is not legal.

The police usually avoid getting involved in family disputes despite a large proportion of murders occurring within families. The fact that they have taken an interest here suggests that there may well be a more serious background than usual.

Not Fart! In bad taste, but art in some beholder's eye. Not Larry Flynt bad taste, or was it?

The fartist is in residence.

"I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"

Came here looking for this.

Was not disappointed.

I thought that weaponised flatulence was a French idea. This Welsh thing seems to be more of a refinement of the idea from farting in someone's general direction, to something more precisely targeted.

So wait, she deliberately farted on her phone. Something which she then would regularly touch with her hands, and occasionally put up to her face when taking a call?

The personal hygiene is not strong in this one...

I've heard " [1]everyone likes their own brand "

Meanwhile, you try getting the rozzers to show up following a burglary...

[and as for those poor employees that get assaulted by shoplifters, where the hell are the rozzers then?]

They just follow up what's low effort.

A family member reported (to a solicitor, who's notes were available) being harassed and frightened by groups of people that were after her money. The home had records of the visitors trying to get each other 'banned' from visiting.

Police had no intention of spending a minute on it as it was 'too hard to prove' after the victim (the primary witness) had passed away. I get that they have to prioritise things that might get results, but I would've thought that abusing the elderly and terminally ill into giving you their money might warrant a little engagement.

I know this is supposed to be a jovial article, but the world does appear to exist just to piss me off.

can't hold it back any mooooore!

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.

Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried.

I don't care what they′re going to say, let the storm rage ooooooon!

Let it go, let it go, I am one with the wind and sky....

"She was also said to be unaware that her actions were illegal and refuted the prosecution's accusation that the messages were sent with malicious intent."

I really, really wish people would not use 'refute' (prove to be false) when they mean 'deny' (claim to be false). I suspect Dr Robert Burchfield, Chief Editor of the Oxford Dictionaries, was right when he 'gloomily saw it possible' that the distinction between 'refute' and 'deny' may become even more blurred 'in the next decade or two' (he was speaking in 1980).

Is that a Welsh pound?

So fart.

Just gassin' with an old acquaintance m'lud.
