It's appalling that you can't honour a mate without the brainless zombies jumping all over it. I served with Tom Clough in the army in the EOD unit, and although I never met Matty he was actually my cousin Debbie's son in law, small world hey? Sorry for your loss mate and give me best to your team, keep your chins up.
@EmmanuelInvest This is absolutely phenomenal, however it's a rolling target, it started off at a few gand. It was 6k when I donated and it's just rocketed since. Hopefully it will continue.
Zia Yusuf made a statement today. If they had come straight out and said something, they would have been slagged off for using it for political gain. We can't win with you lot, we're dammed if we do dammed if we don't. Can we keep politics out of this until after the funerals please.
There's nothing wrong with having views on the systematic two tier policing. It's been on show far too many times especially when it comes to Henry Nowak. However a lot of this stems from policy which is being forced from on high, however the two lads that died on Saturday were salt of the earth everyday coopers just trying to do a good job for their community.
@CristianaEmsley I had the honour to serve alongside Cloughey, he had the heart of a lion, quick witted and had a moral compass that always pointed true.
You're not getting this are you? I'm not defending a police force, I'm defending two individual police officers, one was a family member and the other a good friend. I have my own issue with systemic two tier policing. But these were good lads. "The boys" as you put it knew what they were doing when they got into a known stolen car and went for a Joy ride. Putting innocent lives in danger, they all had previous for doing this on a regular basis, they even went as far as videoing it and posting it on Tik Tok. How can you sit there and defend that?
@khayerc Have you not read a single post on here? The masses are condemning the actions of these louts since it happened, do not try and turn this into something it's not. And those of you having a go at the actions of two deceased police officers, you should be ashamed of yourself
@TommyWykes@totalcrime They knew what they were doing when they got in the car, these little scrotes have been TWOCing cars and rallying them round the estates for a while. They knew.
@rico_plumbjones@EmmanuelInvest Well seems you've chirped in, I served in the Army with PC Tom "Cloughey" Clough and PC Matthew "Matty" Blades is my cousin's husband. You can take a royal flying fuck. Besides I taught my son's to be respectful law abiding citizens. You Plumb.
@kamakeriad@GhostOfBricktop They probably do, but as civil servants it's probably not as gilt-edged as you may think, besides a little extra help will go a long way.
