A police officer who knocked a criminal off a scrambler bike was a “good man” who broke official policy, a court heard. PC James Ellerton’s unmarked police van struck a Honda CRF 250 ridden by disqualified driver Devere Ogungboro, 27, in Park Road, Toxteth . Ogungboro had been doing wheelies, weaving in and out of traffic and driving on the wrong side of the road in the early hours of September 14 last year.

In an address (in Rotherham) live now on Sky News, Owen Smith says he will demand a Hillsborough style inquiry into the events at Orgreave. No doubt another attempt by a politician to undermine the Police. Mind you, he might be wise to consider the potential outcome - there could well be evidence pointing to the Soviet funding of the miners' strike along with other interesting tit-bits of information! I have always been surprised that Bliar didn't try to do more to use this event as a stick to beat the Police - perhaps he had more "inside" information.,
