November 11, 2011 at 10:30 pm

TheEye wishes he’d been in the police control room on the day of this operation… A London police force is being sued over claims that it used two undercover dwarfs to carry out an anti-terror search. A Russian doctor is claiming £55,000 saying City of London Police officers also sexually […]

Armistice Day 2011

November 11, 2011 at 1:00 am

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature […]
