Britain’s Police the most expensive in the world apparently? Hmmm

Maybe they could stop paying for experts?

Just a thought…

Seriously though, so many countries including Japan don’t spend enough on the Old Bill. The Japansese Police are very old school in their ways. So in some ways we lead, but then its rip off Britain, and even the old Bill pay more than they should for stuff. If the forces all bought the same cars, uniforms, etc they could safe a few bob.  Some times they may well need different stuff. But if the Government stopped tinkering and bringing out more laws, and targets then maybe they could get on with it?!

But they should however consider electing your local sheriff (and others) then we the public, can get rid of people not up to the job whether they run the highways or sort out the highway robbers.

I also see in the news that there may be movement in procurement for the Military. Things are getting through finally, but are troops are still being let down on their return. Too many face a hard time, maybe the bankers with the huge bonuses and pensions from the RBS (Right Banking Scandal) could adopt a squaddie?

Finally what happened to flying the Flag? Gordon said years ago we should reclaim the flag…still lots of places without it flying last time I drove through London (or any City in the UK).

p.s.

Final thought on merging police forces, one super one would be a problem, too easy to turn into a Police State. Although they would be too busy swamped in paperwork. But we could use a system where we had a National element, that deals with National/International issues and then the County/Metropolitan cops for the equally important local issues.

Said before that the Transport Police and MOD Police could take on more  issues and protect the infra structure, roads, rail, power supply, etc. It would need a loan from the banks to sort out though and they’ll start lending as soon as the petrol companies drop their prices to match the price of oil…….sometime never then…

p.p.s

I am apparently middle aged, so I can do this sort of moaning stuff now, its the law.

I was going to start by saying two little boys, but then at the ages they are they both wouldn’t appreciate it!

Having done both the boys schools to do the open evenings and heard what the teachers had to say, I have found myself being so impressed that even with all they have had to cope with the last couple of years. They have shown incredible resilience, strength, caring, determination, and so many other attributes that make Keran and I so proud of them.

They have been through such a roller-coaster ride the last 3 or so years and through no fault of their own, have been subjected to the worst aspects if the ’system’ in so many ways.

If there was a medal, they would deserve the highest award in the land, but there won’t be one for them, but if anyone deserves it. It would be them.

As for me, the teachers say I could try harder…

what is the capital of Bolivia, and the square root of 75, who was the first man to discover tesco’s…are you smarter than a ten year old? I ain’t…hey that would make a good quiz show….nawh…it would never work….

Stay safe

Hi,

Another SBS case is kicked out and only up the road too, the case was in the Watford area, but heard at St Albans. The lady was found innocent she now must wait to see if she gets her child back. The old comment that those holding her child ‘can’t comment on individual cases’. Then never seem to be able to when you are found innocent, but often comments are made when it suits.

This follows on very quickly after Stuart Bailey up north. I really do hope that when our turn comes, that someone, somewhere, will care enough about the state of British Justice to review what is going on in these sort of cases.

No proof (i.e. real proof - not professors opinion), = no case.

It interests me to note that even though 2,000 people have tragically died after being given infected blood over the years,  I have yet to hear of anyone being arrested and charged with Manslaughter, as you could argue that someone was reckless or negligent in allowing the infected blood into the country.

Now I am not an expert as I may well have said before, but surely taking blood from prisoners (in the USA or for that matter -anywhere) could result in them having various conditions, through drug abuse alone…but nothing is going to happen. Hmmm, surely not one rule for one and another for the rest of us?

Sounds a bit like the dodgy Lords, … nothings going to happen, I won’t even go into what may or may not happen in other expense type cases. I can’t say I have much faith in justice, but I have less in those that lead us at the moment. 

But back to experts, I was speaking to another victim of the ‘experts’ same old names come up again Risdon, Stoodley, Richards et al.  There are abusers out there of course there are, I met a few in the Police (not serving, just some of the ‘customers’ or ‘clients’). But by pointing the fingers at one and all, and lowering public confidence in you and colleagues, you are creating a bigger problem, and not just for those innocents you send to prison or split up their families.

Wakey wakey, time to smell the coffee and prove what you allege all too quickly. OR what we do is going on your theories, we lock up all parents and carers, hey why stop there? Nick everyone! As they could all potentially lose their tempers and hurt people in their care. So we introduce Government Undertaking Lodging Grant Sites (or Gulags for short) to keep them in, stop these criminals before anything happens.

We have  your SBS as a hypothesis, we have had Munchausens (albeit with a new name now to confuse people and secret files), why haven’t we yet got SOAPS, shaken oap syndrome? I am serious by the way, as those that are frail deserve protection too. Maybe its out there already, if it is I apologise, but if its not, I would like to claim this as mine and how do I get onto the gravy train? I haven’t proven it yet, but that doesn’t seem to matter? Does it?!

No one in their right mind supports abuse of the youngest or the oldest or others unable to protect themselves, but also nobody supports splitting families up, locking them up and tearing them apart. So lets get real and find real evidence one way or the other. Not just what you think happened but actually what did or didn’t happen.

You have been in enough courts now, I would hope the terms ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ and ‘innocent until proven guilty’ may have got through and into your thinking…maybe there is still time….

p.s.

I hope those that have been found innocent recently are allowed to start rebuilding their lives again, very soon. You have been through enough.

I meant to say in the last blog how tickled i was to see we have yet another law. This time its an offence to take pictures of the Police or military.

There are a lot of tourists out there that have my ugly mug on photos they have taken, whilst on their hols. Now if I was still in the Police, I guess I should be getting International Arrest Warrants sorted to have them picked up. It would be good for the clear up rates.

Next time Ross Kemp goes back to Afghanistan will he be nicked?

Mind you another story says they may well have to nick themselves as there are schemes to put in CCTV in all pubs. The East Germans of old would be jealous.

More to the point if the Police want to do TV appeals to help solve crimes will they get anyone to take pictures of them? The good news the Old Bill didn’t want these laws, the bad news is it would appear the Government have no idea of whats required…but I wouldn’t bet the bank on it.
