'That was quite exhilarating'
Kent Police has praised a van driver who gave a lift to an armed police officer to help catch a fleeing suspect in Margate.
Watch the dramatic footage from the officer's body-worn camera

Married his childhood sweetheart, has four kids, donates to the armed forces and mental health charities while running his own foundation. Doesn't drink or smoke. Zero career scandals, which is rare for anyone at his level of fame.
He's also his country's and boyhood club's all-time top scorer, with six Golden Boots including four in the Premier League and one at a World Cup.
He's easily the best striker in the world right now.
And yet Harry Kane remains one of the most disrespected and underrated players in world football. Which is bizarre because he's exactly the type of footballer kids should be looking up to. 👏
🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:
“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.
The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.
This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”
The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.
And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?
Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.
The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”
Bitter end to what’s been a great season. Would’ve been nice to lift the cup but our first season back in the prem and we’ve exceeded expectations
- Top 4
- 13 clean sheets
- Cup final
Not a bad season overall and a quality bunch of lads to do it with 💚
2 years ago, #SGFC were sitting bottom of Division 1 at Christmas.
Two years on, this squad, with an average age of 21, have kept us up in Division 1, won promotion, achieved the highest finish in the club’s history, and reached a cup final.
We are proud of you, lads. 💚
