Damian Green said the "Plebgate" investigation was "one incident among many", citing the Hillsborough cover-up and the death of Ian Tomlinson. But only a small minority of officers had acted inappropriately, he added. The Independent Police Complaints Commission was working to ensure greater …

source A nice high profile case to show people they will be caught if they don't have insurance. Though why anyone would lend this sort of car to an uninsured mate god knows. There is definitely an argument for police auctions, why on earth are we crushing valuable cars when they can be sold at auction and the money go into the police coffers.

It would also put us back in the nuclear industry, an industry in which we once led the world in its development until North Sea oil made us think we were Saudi Arabia, and we gave up on nuclear and gave the French the run of the field.

Here we go again (second go at posting this) -think I failed first time due to limited editing / formatting options from my mobley phone?!? Linky..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-24537304 This really worries me. Looks like things are going to get worse before they get better, and inevitably put yet more strain on the Police. The Mental Health side of the NHS has always been regarded by those holding the purse strings as the "Cinderalla" of the NHS, and yet again, has been used as the soft target in budget cuts.
