Can someone please explain to me why the investigation could take up to a year to conclude.
Surely most of the facts are known and any offences are met with fixed penalties, why so long to investigate.
Seems crazy to me but I might be missing something.

Because boris is hoping everyone will have forgotten about it by then.

Simples ..... it has political ramifications which the police always back away from with great rapidity.
They have probably taken one unfortunate junior PC, sat him in front of 2,000 file boxes full of statements from everybody including the Downing Street cat and said
"get cracking and sort that lot out and then you can go and have an advanced driving course in Bed'eth"

Speaking of Bed'eth when is Twerp/Dave/Froggy coming back? His wife/partner has told him he can’t post on here anymore.

Speaking of Bed'eth when is Twerp/Dave/Froggy coming back? I doubt he will. I suspect he doesn’t want to be associated with a forum that seems to have a high and increasing percentage of Covid deniers, antivaxxers and government conspiracy theorists. I know how he feels.

I didn't realise it was covid related.
I must say I thought he left because of Dunkley being too annoying and foxy of course.
Interesting observation you make.
Due to the quiet nature of the forum there is rather too much discussion of the covids. It would be nice if there were more general material about boats etc but that seems unlikely.

What about these people who remove their face masks when in a crowded theatre/studio? No concern for others! You are supposed to Act Like You've Got It. You could be 'asymptomatic'. Terrible risk you took there, and with the lives of others. And still testing yourself 5 days later to see if you got 'it'. Very irresponsible. It's no wonder Covid will always be with us if people don't stick to The Rules.

I know how he feels. Bye then! I’m thinking about it. In truth, only staying on because there is some fascination in observing the mental processes around radicalisation. Certainly this forum is no longer about boating. When someone posts something about boating, there is no interest. When someone posts some fake news about Covid or other conspiracy theories, there is pages of it.

That's an odd word to use.
Who do you think has been "radicalised"?

Free radicals are very good against ageing.

When someone posts something about boating, there is no interest. When someone posts some fake news about Covid or other conspiracy theories, there is pages of it. Parts of this forum are for posts about boating and parts are for boaters to post on on any other subjects they choose- "The Pit" is one such sub-forum. Incidentally, having studied the classics at proper school I would have thought you would have known what "a forum" was. But since you clearly don't, it is a place for the EXCHANGE of views, not a place for the promulgation of one viewpoint to the exclusion of all others. You are of course at liberty to avoid any thread you do not consider to be of interest to you, and start as many threads and posts about boating as you wish.

At various times I think all of us have 'had enough' and left thunderboat alone for a week or so ( patty and quaysider and metanoia at present). I've never chosen to delete my account, but I understand why some do. Covid, rather like Brexit, has been a massive and divisive subject, and it would be a poor forum that did not reflect this. However I get tired of covid being raised on every damn thread, and I believe others do too. I'm sorry Dave deleted his account ... I was looking forward to reports on his house purchase and shed build ... hope he returns. I consider that the freedom to post whatever one wishes is a strength of thunderboat , not a weakness. It's a shame some feel compelled to abuse or insult those they disagree with rather than debate or simply ignore, but that's unmoderated for you As the year creeps on (Febrewery today hussar) and more go boating, I'm sure the content will change.
