http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-10920062 A man was killed by a train in north London moments after running from a car that was being chased by police. The victim, thought to be 20, was hit on the tracks near Enfield Lock level crossing, Enfield, just after 1730 BST. A short time earlier officers had been following a car which stopped at the crossing where the barriers were down, and three men got out, police said. Am I the only person who thinks its a Society Win, and another chav bites the dust?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-11000508 A suspected copper thief is in hospital with serious burns after he was injured while apparently trying to cut electrical cables in Leeds with a saw. I feel for him, bless him, will he now want compensation? "Police said no arrests had been made and inquiries were continuing. Witnesses have been urged to contact Mr Partis at Weetwood police station." not sure who is running the investigation, but, now i`m no Police officer or judge, BUT arrest the bloke with the burns all over him.

From the sound of it there was nothing the officers could have done, not something I'd ever want to go through, though. No doubt there will be an enquiry in due course. Perky Sorry, source is BBC news.Perky
