The investigation into reports of a rape outside a church in Epsom that led to widespread public disorder will close as police are “confident there was no offence”.
If you thought the main story about dirty politics and public image was around Mandelson last week, think again:
In an update on Thursday, the force said after a “thorough investigation” it became clear the woman in her 20s suffered an accidental head injury after a night out, leading her to make a confused report.
Perfect excuse not to have to charge her and so draw even more ire from the #IBelieveHer mob!
Those actions were condemned as “shameful” by Surrey police and crime commissioner Lisa Townsend. “The mindless scenes we witnessed last night where our police officers were targeted with missiles were nothing short of shameful,” she said on Tuesday. She added some of those involved in the unrest had travelled from elsewhere to cause trouble, and warned them to stay away. “I am a firm believer in people’s right to lawful protest, but sadly, some of those present in Epsom yesterday stepped way beyond that line and the type of behaviour we witnessed will not be tolerated,” she said.
I thought the UK police couln't beclown themselves any more - Reader, I was wrong!
