Considering Boris’ recent track record with losing senior policemen, this job advert might be a bit optimistic when it says the job of Metropolitan Police Commissioner is a five year post. It’d be interesting (ish) to know if the job has graced the SitVac pages of any national newspapers and […]

Oh now ‘ang on, I’m not ‘avin that Following Andy Hayman’s extraordinary outburst yesterday (YouTube) in front of the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee when asked if he took bribes, a photographer at The Times has grabbed one of those perfectly juxtaposed snaps. Worth re-posting as it will be […]

Last weekend saw even more violence than usual at the Old Firm football clash north of the Border. And Strathclyde Police, as usual, took this as a golden opportunity to plaster their ugly mugs all over the television calling for everything from calm and peace to a restocking of plastic […]

And in a few entertaining car-crash examples, both at the same time. There is […]

TheBigDollop had a post earlier this week about 27 year old ex-soldier Paul Clarke, who had the annoying present of a sawn-off shotgun thrown over the fence into his garden. He phoned his nearest Chief Superintendent and asking if he could pop in for a chat but without mentioning why. […]
