“Manchester Magistrates’ Court heard that on a rainy January 21, last year, Mulholland was photographed by horrified office workers who took the picture from their window, then contacted the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) .Investigators from the HSE rushed to the site and questioned Mulholland, who admitted that he had climbed up to complete the job.”

    A ‘Victim charge’ of 85 pounds??!! Who one of the traumatised office workers whose greatest risk taking is filing their nails?!

    I see a couple of roofers were fined later for a safety violation. Sounds like there is a nosey Parker across the way ratting on hard working folks.

      Apparently it’s a fee they charge everybody that goes through the court.AKA just another way to steal money from the peep’s.

      I figure the construction worker took one for the team by admitting it.If he had denied it,then they probably would have shut the job down pending an investigation.
      I don’t see what the big deal is really,I’ve done the same onsite before.Sometimes there isn’t anything to belt off to and I trust my grip better than a crane operator who may have been fighting with his old lady that morning or is stoned off his ass on weed.

    HSE inspector Matt Greenly said:

    “It is a matter of pure luck that no-one was injured or killed by working at height in the manner seen in this image provided by a member of the public.

    “I would like to thank the person who reported their concern to us as they have been instrumental in saving the lives of Mr Mulholland and arguably anyone below him at that time.”

    Simply to juxtapose what Eurocrats think is important — the hypothetical rather than current deadly reality — Let’s borrow from what Drudge is currently headlining and then add but one more observation.

    BLOOD ON HER HANDS!
    WHERE IS THE KILLER?
    ‘THIS IS WAR’

    Since Drudge was willing to provide us with this photo-shopped image, why not go one step further and add a sneer instead of a merely horrified face on Merkel?

    • Pascal says:

      To put it bluntly, the bureaucracy is holding a working stiff accountable in large part for what might have happened (injuries to people possibly underneath him at the time.)

      But there is no accountability for bureaucratic policies that have led to wide bloodshed. There is no might have there, only inevitable you [redacted].

      The Europotty is not boiling yet?

        I think this may have been Germany’s wake up call from Hell – the Kraut 9/11 – so I wouldn’t be surprised if the traitor-bitch-communist Merkel is purged in the next election – and the Islamic invaders given the bum’s rush back to Asia in 2017.

        The picture on Drudge is both photoshopped and absolutely correct – the blood of innocent people are on the hands of Merkel – she invited the Muslims.

        BTW, I was an American soldier stationed in Berlin during the 1970s and saw first hand what the German military and law enforcement does to terrorists when released by their government to kick butt and take names….and more….like the dead bodies of a terrorist shot dead in the early morning in front of the Berlin Headquarters of the U.S. Army. I talked to a U.S. military policeman who witnessed the incident several weeks later and he said the German counter terrorism unit didn’t even attempt to take him alive.

        Shoot first and ask questions later…good policy for dealing with murdering Islamic terrorists.

        • Pascal says:

          Absolutely correct? Nah. Once the event suggested photoshopping was appropos, I think her persistence in the face of consequences provides the artist due cause to impose a sneer on her too.

            “To put it bluntly, the bureaucracy is holding a working stiff accountable in large part for what might have happened (injuries to people possibly underneath him at the time.)”

            That’s because there is little chance the working stiff will blow them up or behead them.Until that changes this sort of crap will keep happening.

              Injustice: How the Left makes its gains by counting on the common human decency of the Right. (Re: “Without double standards the Left would have no standards at all”).

              Justice: When the Left hangs on the gallows it built for its enemies.

  3. Pascal says:

    Oh, and when the bureaucracy denies it employs anyone who harbors deadly intentions, show them this:

    New York State Employee Demands Death For Trump Supporters, Still Employed [emphasis added]

    “To all my friends that live in red voting states,” the screed began. “You have 2 months to move. After that, if you don’t do not consider us friends. I want you dead. I want your families dead. I want your wives, husbands children and grandchildren dead. Not just dead but horrible painful deaths.”

    “Torturous cancers — bone, brain,” his twisted post continued. “Burning alive in a fire. Drownings. Wives and daughters or should I say your c***s as you Republicans like to call them should be brutally raped first.”

    From over a month ago, this was the last heard from the bureaucracy that employs this nutcase “We are not able to comment any further on the matter since it is under investigation.”

    Hence we must presume he’s still there collecting a paycheck.

      Gee, Mr. Democrat is so doggone mad – and you’d think we 21st century Republicans took his slaves away like our GOP ancestors did his great-great grandfather in 1865.

      Democrats haven’t evolved much in over 150 years, heh?http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gif

      The safe bet would be to buy stock in companies that make candles,teddy bears and balloons,I don’t see any course correction in sight.http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_unsure.gif
