In the last edition of NARPO news - it is a publication sent to all retired Police Officers - there is a heartbreaking letter from ex PC John Murray, who was a friend and who has worked tirelessly very often out of his own funds, to bring justice for Yvonne Fletcher, murdered by Libyans whilst on duty in 1984. The letter describes in detail the events leading to her death and the extensive investigation he has done to trace the suspect. He says he believes the government have drawn a line under the whole issue but he will fight on despite running out of funds. It is a total and utter disgrace and an insult, that he should be in a position where he is having to ask for don…

Hello All Without wanting to start a huge debate on the rights and wrongs of the upcoming police and crime commissioner elections I wanted to share a site set up by an ex ACC from Dorset called http://policecrimecommissioner.co.uk.

http://www.telegraph...er-empties.html I hope nothing serious happens that needs a sensible decision, with Ms Malfoy in charge we could all go to pot. Willie Hague should be in charge all the time, he has more brains and nous compared to Malfoy, and doesn't look like Wurzel Gummage. The last Buffoon who was in charge was John 'two jags, or even Jabs' Prescott, from Labour.

A man has been shot in the face by thieves as he tried to prevent them stealing his pick-up truck in Rye in East Sussex, police said. When the man disturbed the thieves near his home in Rye Harbour Road they drove a car at him, then shot him with an air rifle before towing his vehicle away.

"As the case is currently going through the courts, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time," she said. At a preliminary hearing held previously, Tate and two co-accused were g…

May is so false, and two-faced, and I thought Blunket was the worst Home Secretary ever, but May sure beats him by miles. Just out of interest which is the Home Sec in the picture, the one in the middle.
