I've just seen this on Sky news. Respect. I wonder what would have happened in this country. I bet we would be criticised for being aggressive, heavy handed and racist. http://news.sky.com/story/1209691/cops-diving-tackle-catches-break-in-suspect

Call me paranoid but I have just discovered that Cindy Butts, one of the IPCC Commissioners who I commented on in the Orgreave thread, has viewed my LinkedIn profile. That cannot be a coincidence - so clearly they can establish identities of Forum users and, indeed, are actively doing so.

He said: "We contribute a significant amount of economic benefit to the cities where our conferences are held. "The contribution to Manchester in 2013 was £24.6m, and our conference in 2012 contributed £16.5m to Birmingham."
