If this has been posted elsewhere apologies in advance. I really can't believe this. Absoultely shocking. PC David Rathband, who was shot in the face by Moat, has been awarded the minimum £18.95-week mobility allowance The police officer shot in the face and blinded by Raoul Moat is pressing for an increase in mobility allowance after being awarded the minimum £18.95-a-week by social services. PC David Rathband, who was targeted randomly when the fugitive with a grudge against police went on the run in July, said that it seemed "somehow not fair" that he should fall into the lowest category. He is in a higher band for the other, larger component of disability benef…

Hmm.

SHAMEFUL protesters disgraced the memory of Britain's war dead today by burning a model of a POPPY — as millions more held a dignified two-minute silence. The nation paid its respects to the fallen at 11am to mark Armistice Day, including Prime Minister David Cameron who laid a wreath in South Korea But remembrance events in London were marred by the gruesome spectacle of members of self-styled Muslims Against Crusades burning the symbol of the country's debt to its brave service men and women killed in action. The sick protesters chanted "British soldiers burn in hell" and held banners saying "Islam will dominate" and "Our dead are in paradise, yo…

Two Police Officers guilty of racing marked police cars! boy racers having fun as a perk of the job, thank god for the Police Offcers who reported them, stupid idiots, if they want to risk theyre own lives, carry on, but not at the expense of others. I wonder which division they are in, Traffic Cops I bet! and once the pathetic 28 day ban is up, straight back out on pursuits, sounds about right to me. I hope they feel shame, but I bet they dont.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-11736785 A man who posted a Twitter message threatening to blow up an airport is facing a £3,000 bill after losing an appeal against his conviction. Idiot or unlucky, maybe a bit of both. In my view idiot.

On radio last night they had a scouse woman on talking about having to do community work for her benefits. She stated she didnt think it was right, you should be able to do the work in the field you want/interested in. She stated she didnt want to brush the streets for her benefits! Oh my heart bleeds for her. Scousers often get a bad press (often justified), but she doesnt help case by saying things like that. If a scam appears in your area, you can bet it was started in liverpool. What do you call a scouser in a suit? The accused! Police found a suspicious car in liverpool yesterday. It was taxed, tested and insured!!
