Mr Rich said yesterday: 'It is totally unacceptable that police officers – of all people – were expecting a group to go into a room that was too small and had warning signs about protecting people from Covid-19.
'I was told I was going to be arrested and was put in a severe restraint. It was completely unlawful that cuffs were used. The behaviour of the officers was absolutely shocking.'
I would agree, but a) it's Essex Police, and b) the track record of cops understanding and obeying the covid restrictions they expect everyone else to follow isn't good, is it?
Choosing a former barrister who brought his own solicitor to the interview to try this with isn't the smartest move, mind you.
Miss Tmaira has now lodged a formal complaint on his behalf for wrongful arrest, assault and unlawful imprisonment. She said: 'I've been a solicitor for 18 years and I have never, ever witnessed such a thing in all my career.'
What could have made them act like this? Any clues?
He had previously worked with Essex officers in his capacity as a defence lawyer.
Aha!
"Mr Rich is now due to be interviewed by police at the home in Stansted Mountfitchet he shares with his wife Louise, an accountant"
ReplyDeleteAn article in The Mail which squeezes in a mention of the house but fails to tell us how much said house is worth. That must be a first. :-)
All that, but I wonder if there was something else about the The former Conservative parliamentary candidate that they didn't like?
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect barometer of how worthless the Post-Fat Dave Tory Party is. If they won't even defend their own, they sure as Hell won't go to the mattresses for you peasants!
A situation with so much promising potential, provided a very disappointing result. Not even a single custodial death by regulation-style asphyxiation.

ReplyDeleteSlackers! 🤣
"This is the perfect barometer of how worthless the Post-Fat Dave Tory Party is."
The pressure is falling fast - when will it bottom out?
"Not even a single custodial death by regulation-style asphyxiation."
There's still time!
