Good ultraviolet photography by the Met. I don't know why he denied being in the car despite being coated in the dye. I'm curious as to whether this was Smartwater or equivalent and whether the 'DNA' coding linked it to him - that really would be irrefutable. If it was just a UV dye then this could have made contact with his skin from another one of his thieving operations and not necessarily linking him to the car.

Excellent quote by a plane spotter - The plane-spotter noted with some acerbity: “The Globex transported God’s self-appointed representative on earth, HRH Tony Bliar, correction Blair.”

A prolific Birmingham burglar who crushed a police officer into a lamppost in a desperate attempt to escape has been jailed for 12 years. Carl Anderson, 50, of Osbourne Close, Aston, reversed his car across an Erdington road at up to 35mph, with the engine screaming and tyres screeching, as Pc Peter McGinn clung to the driver's side door trying to grab the keys. Judge Melbourne Inman QC, sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court, told Anderson: "You deliberately reversed the car at speed such that the open door was smashed against a lamppost with such force it broke the hinges and folded the door back against the car. "Between that door and the lamppost was Pc McGinn." And…
