Word of the day is ‘boondoggle’ (1940s): an entirely unnecessary, expensive, and wasteful undertaking (often the result of ‘hornswoggling’: bamboozling and hoodwinking).
@Ben__Forbes @DCCPippaMills @EssexPoliceUK Fair enough. If this is the usual standard in Essex then that is fantastic and should be applauded.
Twitter, however, is not exclusive to Essex. Perhaps that's why this tweet doesn't sit well with many of its readers.
@DCCPippaMills @moxysviews@EssexPoliceUK Your tweet and subsequent comments make me feel that you lack empathy for victims of unsolved crimes. I bet there's not another bike theft in the country that's had forensic & cctv resources and thief arrested, charged, remanded and given a custodial sentence within a fortnight.
@Ben__Forbes @DCCPippaMills @EssexPoliceUK Senseless responses? People are angry and frustrated and feel that this is rubbing their faces in unfairness. If you can't empathise with that you're as out of touch as the DCC is.
@RantingRozzer @PCWibble I've had to fight every step of the way for my brother's murder to be properly investigated...this DCC doesn't seem to understand how this tweet feels for a victim of unsolved crime.
@Anticomprimizer @DCCPippaMills @EssexPoliceUK Feels like a kick in the teeth for every victim of crime who has seen their case dropped or ignored due to a lack of resources.
@DCCPippaMills @EssexPoliceUK Wow. This comment will seem unreasonable to most but my 11 year old brother and his friend were brutally murdered 40 years ago and I've had to fight for every, single scrap of resources to be used on our case. We still have no justice. It's good to be king eh...

@cathie_wood Tell her that everything changes. The pit we are in now will not last forever and as a sensitive, observant, intelligent person she will help to change the world for the better ♥️
Judging by my last tweet the people of this country have had enough of the pure deceit we are being fed
Let’s stay safe let’s stay strong let’s say enough Let’s stay together x
Should investigating officers be permitted to question the main suspect in a double, child murder case if the suspect has previously been acquitted? Please vote and retweet.
@CopMoustache May I ask what your views are on the Double Jeopardy law? My brother and his friend were brutally murdered but the DPP/CPS won't allow the police to question the main suspect. It feels so incredibly wrong.
Would've loved to see a scene with Geraldine trying to explain BLM to Alice, and Alice just repeating, 'But... all lives matter.' #dawnfrench#vicarofdibley#BLMFrench's Vicar Of Dibley character will deliver a BLM sermon https://t.co/68NFLJBTqp via @MailOnline
