Condolences to the officers family and friends.

Some police officers are so overweight they can only transport one suspect in their squad cars. Tests found some police vehicles carrying two hefty officers are within 14 stone of legal weight limits, reports the Daily Telegraph. That means they can only carry one suspect in the back of the car and if two people are arrested the officers would have to radio for another vehicle. Overweight police cars may not be insured if they are involved in an accident and officers could be left open to legal action by suspects injured in an a crash. Officers could also be fined for driving an overloaded vehicle on the roads and there are concerns that the weight burden could affect…

"Yes there is a vegetarian option. You can f*ck off." "Mmm. These Korean meatballs are the dog's b****cks." "Help yourself to Nibbles. He was our favourite hamster, but it is what he would've wanted." "I hope no one's allergic to nuts, as I like to rest mine on the table."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/7594382.stm It's all well and good the Attorney General criticising lenient Judges, but he needs to do something about them, like sack them. It's no good criticising the Judge when he has retired, thats a weak way out. Too many Judges don't live in the real world and need refresher courses on stronger sentencing.

Does anyone on the Forum know the police policy on releasing information to the Press. There is an incident in Scotland where a Sergeant has been arrested regarding a serious assault, his details were released to the national press, even though he has not yet been charged(as I understand it). There have been several incidents where officers names have been released. On the 8th August, a very senior officer in Norfolk was arrested for Drink Driving and has been charged, but the force refused to release his name to the Press. Why should this be, they are quick enough to release the names of MOP who have been arrested and charged.

For some time many of us have wondered just who is Jack Schitt? We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt!' Well, thanks to my friends generous genealogy efforts, you can now respond in an intellectual way. Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of Needeep N. Schitt, Inc. They had one son, Jack. In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt.. Against her parents' objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. …

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.' One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left in t…

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1051310/Police-investigate-home-case-finding-youngsters-abandoned-mother-weeks.html I find it difficult to believe that any parent can be so STUPID. After all the publicity regarding Maddie McCann you would think it would send a message out not to leave kids alone.

OK so armed officers in the UK have to go through extensive training and be given permission from the Home Secretary to carry weapons. But if an American or even forign person (president, king...) comes to the UK they can have heavily armed gaurds on OUR streets. Does this seem right. In essense the person is a forign national, with weapons in the UK. Double standards or...?
