University of Bedfordshire academic Dr Theodora Dallas, 34, told jurors a man on assault charges at Luton Crown Court had previously been accused of rape. The trial in July 2011 was halted.

Police in London will dramatically reduce the number of random stop and searches in an effort to improve relations with black people and ethnic minority communities. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-24027388-police-stop-and-search-slashed.do So we not mind if they knife each other, as long as Police do not get blame for stop and searching. I can live with that, not so sure others can.

For most people, the system of civil loss recovery has operated under the radar. The only clues are signs discreetly displayed in stores warning shoplifters they face a claim for compensation if caught. But in the last decade, more than 500,000 people have received demands for hundreds of pounds from retailers via middlemen debt collectors after being caught. No police caution or charge is needed and rarely do the small-time thieves end up in court. In fact, civil loss recovery is largely a response to what retailers claim is a failure by police.

A decision to allow TV cameras to film Nottinghamshire police on patrol has been criticised by a police body. Episode two of Channel 4's Coppers followed police officers during the riots in Nottingham last summer. Nottinghamshire Police Federation said the programme was "blinkered" and failed to show "the full picture". A Nottinghamshire Police spokesman said the show offered "a unique insight" and Channel 4 producers said it portrayed officers in a positive light. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobile/uk-england-nottinghamshire-16672409 Nope, was not uncomfortable viewing, I disagree with that comment. If the public don`t criticise the Police the Police criticise the P…

I hope that Fat Slob doesn't even consider applying, he was totally useless as a Minister and he should never be given the chance to apply for the job.
