Marathon
Sunday, April 17th, 2011Watching the marathon this morning, took me back to policing the start line (there was always a guy with a gun called in, then shots fired, but as we tried to speak to witnesses they all ran off so we never got a statement) or more often the finish line (at that end people would complain about being shot at in Greenwich Park or Blackheath).
I remember at court after Keran was wrongly convicted, I said we have a fight on our hands and its not going to be a sprint, but a marathon…our event still it goes on.
And on and on and ….
But we have hit the wall, a couple of times now and hopefully we are about to smash through it (don’t hold your breath though as there are organisations and people who don’t want this can of worms opening up - tough! I am in the mood for fishing).
Talk tonight on the news about breaking up OFSTED…its a big beast, and affected us in a couple of ways, obviously the ‘childminding aspect’ but also they cover education in prison…well didn’t see a lot of that. Big beast Ofsted…lets see what happens…
And they’re OF…F?
Well done to those who competed in the ‘easier’ marathon (ours has been going for years…beat that), dressed in the silly costumes and the Para with the washing machine on his back - hats off to you!
