Bloke (read: chavmong) goes on the rampage in his local with a chainsaw because they wouldn't let him smoke,... The victim he slashed with the saw needed 21 stitches and surgery. The offender got 3 years, and we all know what that will mean in real terms. http://www.thisishul...tail/story.html Obviously hard as nails,...

Special officers on horseback will patrol the Norfolk countryside in an attempt to combat rural crime. The three special officers and one police community support officer will ride the beat in south Norfolk using their own horses for the patrols. Officers said having access to farms and bridleways would have a "huge impact" on what they could do. Mounted patrol officers had been previously last used in Norfolk in the mid-1900s. The move comes as part of the force's Operation Randall, a project to deter criminals targeting the countryside. Officers said patrolling on horseback would give rural communities better access to police support. Continue reading the main stor…

Nice to see some recognition for the bravery of officers well done to all the recipients Two off-duty police officers tackled a dangerous mob – one of whom was armed with a knife. Constables Tony Sheridan and Karl Jackson did not have protective equipment or back up when they confronted the group. The pair, based in Tameside, have now won brave officers of the year at the Chief Constable's Excellence Awards for their handling of the dangerous incident. Highly commended in the same category were Salford-based officers PC Stuart Bentley and PC Louise Warhurst for their actions following a plane crash in Eccles last year. While on patrol, the officers saw a small plane t…

The most senior civil law judge has hit out after a firm of no-win no-fee lawyers charged £74,000 to win less than £13,000 compensation for an injured plumber. Master of the Rolls Lord Neuberger said 'something is out of kilter' when lawyers put in a bill of nearly six times the damages paid for a 'minor injury' in a case that was never contested in court. The charges demanded by personal injury group Irwin Mitchell included fees of up to £250 an hour, to be doubled in the event that it won the case. The criticism from Lord Neuberger, supported by two other judges in an Appeal Court ruling yesterday, comes amid an effort to reform the high costs of the civil justice…
