Police Statement Translation Service

Police could not find a record of a complaint of the incident based on the information available.

Allow me: “What!? Get involved in a verbal racial bust up between a black woman and someone who claims to be a traveller? Heavens to Betsy, we wouldn’t know where to start! The Diversity Office would have kittens! Best to say we…. ummmm … lost the paperwork. Yes. That’s it. Lost it. It’s the effect of Tory cuts, you know.”

Childcare, Mottingham Style!

Daniel Forsythe regularly visits the China Jade, along Beaconsfield Road, but he spotted something amiss last week.

Mr Forsythe finished his shift at the Co-op opposite the takeaway shop and ordered a chow mein and chicken in black bean sauce for pick up, costing £8.80.

He returned to his home along Mottingham Road which he shares with his wife, Kirsty, 24, and their 18-month-old daughter Evie.

After taking a few mouthfuls he claims he spotted a screw nestled in the chow mein he’d shared with his daughter.

The 25-year-old told News Shopper: "She was hungry so I’d given her a little bit.

"As soon as I saw the screw I checked the food straight away.

"She had a little plate and I just dived in there with my hands, it was a bit messy."

Poor kid would be better off raised by wolves…

Well, Why Let The Greens Chase All The Serious Issues Of Government?

MPs are to investigate whether very thin models should be banned from British catwalks, after a petition calling for fashion week health checks reached 30,000 signatures.

Caroline Noakes MP, who heads the all parliamentary group on body image, is to invite senior members of the fashion industry to get their views on whether legislation is needed to protect young models from feeling pressured to lose dangerous amounts of weight.

Good grief, I thought the marriage certificate issue was scraping the barrel, but this..!?

Rosie Nelson, a 23-year-old size 8 model from Sandhurst, who has worked on shoots for Vogue Australia and Ben Sherman, started her Change.org petition to call for a law change.

“When I walked into one of the UK’s biggest model agencies last year they told me I ticked all the boxes except one – I needed to lose weight. So I did,” she wrote in her introduction to the petition.

Well, then, maybe you are at fault, not them?

Oh, But You Can Guess, I’m Sure?

An RSPCA spokeswoman said: “We received a call about a horse in Erith.

“Following a vet examination which confirmed welfare concerns, the horse was removed by police and placed into RSPCA care last week.

“She is not microchipped and we do not know who her owner is.“

Oh, really? Gosh. What a shocker. Well, there’s just no clue to who might have owned this animal, is there?

“She is now in safe hands at a boarding establishment receiving care.”

Yeah, that’s what you said about these horses, too….

The RSPCA spokeswoman revealed this case wasn’t just a one-off.

She said: “The country is in a horse crisis with the RSPCA and other organisations struggling to cope with the number of abandoned, neglected and abused horses.

“We are stretched to breaking point with about 125 places at our equine centres and over 500 horses in our care.”

Here’s a thought, then, love; do something proactive with the money that keeps flowing into your coffers from deluded animal lovers and start checking out the sort of horses likely to be ‘unregistered’.

I think we all know it’s not going to be Lucinda Fotherington-Smythe’s Riding Establishment For Young Society Ladies that’s at fault here, is it?

Suck It Up, Love - It's The World YOU Built!

Suzanne Moore on the Bahar Mustafa case:

...the stimulation of offence, only ever a click away, is the mood music now. It is tiring, for sure. Do those who live in this semi-aroused state ever get off social media and go outside, where I hear people saying all kinds of offensive stuff? Racist, sexist, homophobic – it’s all on the bus I get on. It’s unpleasant but, on the whole, no one is mortally wounded by speech alone. Public space can be threatening. I have been attacked, raped and abused in my lifetime for just being, not for my “views”. That is part of life for many women. The war on women that sees two women killed a week is not even news – unless there are some sexy pics and gory details of how some shining girl became another bruised corpse, often at the hands of someone she knew. That’s how many women live. That’s how many trans women and women of colour live. My experience is not special; it is, sadly, normal. So, I completely stand by Bahar Mustafa if she used a hashtag that said #killallwhitemen. She may have said other stupid stuff on Twitter – the place where women are tweeted abusive crap day in, day out. If men are seriously fearing for their lives because of this hashtag, they can surely organise a safe space. Indeed, they have; it’s called “most of the world”.

Historic Sexual Abuse By A Celebrity? We’ll Get Right On It!

NHS blunders might have killed your kid? *shrugs* Too far in the past to worry…

Erica Thomas died in 1984 three days after having a minor foot operation when a junior doctor cut away part of the plaster cast around her leg – freeing an undetected blood clot that fatally travelled to her heart and lungs.

The General Medical Council (GMC) said the doctor’s decision to remove some of the plaster was potential misconduct - but ruled the medic could not face a tribunal because the incident was too long ago.

Gosh! What an unfamiliar concept these days, at least in other matters…

Mrs Venner said: “I want an apology for my girl. I want to be able to say I have done the best by her. Back in the 1980s, people didn’t question doctors, doctors knew best. I thought they were doing the right thing.

“When I saw on the news what all the Hillsborough families were going through, I realised I could also ask for all the documents on Erica’s treatment.”

Ah, but you see, you don’t get the same fawning treatment as the Hillsborough families, because the police can’t be attacked here, only the sainted NHS, and all nurses are angels of mercy, eh?

No, Love, I Think You'll Find That's The White Ones...

“I’m now having to explain to my children if the red lights come on at the back of a car [that] it will be going backwards.”

Errr....

It's Not Often I Agree With The NSPCC...

After the sentencing, a spokesman for the NSPCC said: 'The judge’s comments in this case send out completely the wrong message and confirm a common view in society that the abuse of a young boy by a woman is somehow less serious than the abuse of a girl by a man.

'The offender in this case has escaped extremely lightly and you have to wonder whether, in the same circumstances, a man would have been treated the same’.

...but this is one of these times. What was the judge thinking?!?

Come to think of it, what was the 'father' thinking?

In a statement, the boy's father said: 'I know he told her he was 15. He looks older than his years. He is sex mad.

'He would have been fully up for this experience and in many ways sees it as a notch on his belt and is totally unaffected by it.'

Future sexual predator, right there...

Ummmm, what? Who on  earth would take it on themselves to.... *checks Twitter bio*

Oh.

Yeah. I guess that makes sense. Still, it's just one idiot getting outraged on behalf of someone in order to gain a spot of Virtue Signalling credentials, so can be safely igno ....

Oh, FFS!

Update: Farenheit211 has more...

Not Letting Them In Your Cab Is Bad Enough…

Mike claims Thames Valley Police officers first told him they would prosecute the cabbie for driving without due care and attention.

Well, one would hope so! Mount a pavement & hit a blind man’s guide dog, you’d expect that if you were a driver. Especially a cab driver…

But this week he received a call saying there would be no charge because it was "a lawful manoeuvre."

Wha..? So, it’s open season on the blind now?

Or, given the stunning indifference of the Met to this bus driver’s crazy actions – no arrest? Seriously? - (which could so easily have been a fatality) perhaps it’s open season on anyone?

And now Mike has been told he could face a claim from the cabbie's insurance for a dent caused when he hit the car.

Jesus wept!

A female passer-by who witnessed the event has since written a letter of complaint to the taxi company.

So it’s not even the usual police excuse of ‘no witnesses’..?
