Quote Of The Month
Bill Sticker's wife sums up our current predicament:
"Mrs S has also been deriving great amusement of late from the old one liner; “What lasts longer? A gobstopper or a UK Prime Minister?” My money is on the gobstopper whilst Blue Labour, let’s face it, they’re not proper Tories, tie themselves in knots following the external intervention that sent the bond market into a tailspin."
And Wasn't He Entitled To..?
The sitting judge said he doubted Kerrie's version of events, however, noting that he 'armed himself quickly'.
As would I under the circumstances:
Power had been drinking when he returned home at around 3am to discover his car had been damaged. He believed Kerrie had wrecked the car, and went to confront the teenager, according to The Mirror.The fisherman smashed the front window of the Kerrie home with a rock before entering through the front door. Kerrie told the police that he found a knife by the side of the bed and stabbed Power after his mother was attacked.He defends himself from an intruder and yet is the one sent to jail..?
After a four year trial nightmare where two murder trials failed to reach a verdict..?
Wow! And I thought the English justice system was poor...

See? It Can Be Done...
A police chief who took a 'back to basics' approach with the failing Greater Manchester Police force has helped the organisation out of special measures after 18 months at the helm.
Impressive!
Stephen Watson, regarded as an 'old school' chief who pitched himself as 'anti-woke' when he joined GMP, had blamed a 'failure of senior leadership' for its problems and promised a 'dialled up muscularity' in his approach to crime.
Since Mr Watson's takeover, 999 call answer times have been cut from an average of one minute 22 seconds to seven seconds, response times have been reduced and arrests have increased by 60 per cent.
And he's not resting on his laurels, either...
'I look forward to sustaining GMP's march forward and for us to continue to make our region a safer place to live, work and visit.' The force will be inspected again during 2023.
Something other forces need to look to. And the Home Office needs to back them to do so.
His Own Mother Couldn't Recognise Him From That...
British Transport Police have released an image of the man who is wanted in connection with two assaults that happened on the London Underground today. The man was first seen assaulting another man at Baker Street Station around 11.50am.He was then seen shortly after midday at Finchley Road station where he pushed another man onto the tracks.
Neither of the victims were seriously injured from the attacks. Detectives believe the suspect was not known to either victim.
What was it filmed on, a potato?
Detective Inspector Paul Watts, said: 'If you see someone matching this image...'
If I see someone 'matching this image', it'll be because my glasses have steamed up, Paul...

Liars Love New Opportunities...
...and the grooming scandals have provided just that, haven't they?
She alleged in 2018 Mr Ramzan suggested she travel to Amsterdam, where he put her to work in a brothel and then sold her at auction for €25,000, although she was allowed to come home when the buyer could not make the payment. The court heard that when police made inquiries into Mr Ramzan's whereabouts at the time of the alleged trip, they discovered a 'more mundane' story.
Mr Sandiford said: 'They found his phone did not leave Barrow on those few days. 'They looked at his bank cards and in fact, instead of acting as an international human trafficker in Amsterdam, he was buying things in B&Q Barrow and filling his car with petrol in Asda.'
Amazingly, the police appear to have done actual investigative work in this case, rather than simply arresting the accused entirely on her say-so and retiring to the canteen for breakfast...
Williams denies seven counts of doing acts tending and intended to pervert the course of justice. Her trial, which opened on Tuesday, is expected to last up to 10 weeks.
Why? Why must we spend yet more money on this?
10 whole weeks of taxpayer expense that could be avoided if the police just told these women to do one when they waltzed in the station?
