Retired Met DS/ex-RAF now living in Leeds. Slightly left leaning patriotic monarchist who respects all views apart from those of hate. Massive Watford FC fan
@LucyGoBag Snap Lucy, in fact you are being remarkably restrained. Unfathomable that this error was made despite all the hard work you and people like you have done over the years.
@clark_aviation My late father was a Royal for 12 yrs and in 1960 joined RAF for 30. He always wore his Green Beret proudly with the RAF badge which probably accounted for why he never made it beyond Flt Lt. At his funeral they sent a RM bugler and his beret went with him on his journey.
@samsparkes999@LutonTown I know poor Noah’s aunt and 3 cousins well. Warm, decent, loving people who adored Noah and his family deeply. Utter waste and so, so sad that he has been taken from us. Keep doing what you do Sam, I’m glad they have one of the best with them at this terrible time 😔
@samsparkes999@obbsie@metpoliceuk My last meaningful day of service before retiring was sorting out the family visits to see their loved ones. I had the sad privilege of driving PC Palmer family to the morgue. Very proud of my FLO team and all those involved for what they did following that terrible day.
@BaitVic We are a far better team with Mendy. His presence allows Louza to be more attacking as opposed to having to worry about defensive shortcomings and doing it himself. Mendy allows him to step up more which is why we are creating more chances. How Javi didn’t see this is beyond me
I think for this sad matter, and pretty much every other thing Police related, @grahamwettone is the one who consistently delivers the truth about process and Policing. Balanced and utterly correct, if he is not your go to guy for all things Police, you’re at a disadvantage
Really sad news. The self destructive Ziggy was the main instigator in the fall of the roguish Sabotka family. Best season of The Wire and the best non-Police character in Frank Sabotka, a father/leader trying to do right but in the end doing wrong and paying the price. RIP James
@WYPDogs In the 90ies in L’ster Sq in the early hours a nightclub event kicked off and 100’s were intent on trouble. Really scary, my car tyre got slashed and then 1 handler and his beautiful German Shepherd on a long lead turned up. Square cleared in minutes. Poor decision to cut them
@samsparkes999 You would have loved him Sam. Great man, good cop and always smiling. Last time I saw him was when I put a post on FB about a dodgy pub I was in on his ground. He turned up outside in full uniform waving at me like a loony, forcing me to leave that pub. He got me good 😂😢😢
@trojan1963 Spot on…. I go to a lot of concerts and this one is way up there. Don’t care if I’m not cool, unashamedly seen them 5 times now, the 1st time at The Brixton Academy so they’ve come on a tadge since then. Think Chris Martin is the best front man I’ve seen since Freddy Mercury.
@brettgoldstein@ZaweAshton@Jenna_Coleman_ Blinking heck, I’d never heard of you before I reluctantly watched Ted Lasso. Loved Roy Kent so watched Shrinking which was hysterically bittersweet and now this. It looks ace! I now just watch stuff cos @brettgoldstein is in it or wrote it or mildy involved thus making is superb
@liamtuffs1 As someone involved with DVI since The Tsunami, this is a much needed facility and in keeping with being one of the world’s best responders to mass casualty events. I don’t know the politics behind it, but from my pov, its a good step and not as sinister as some may say
@grahamwettone Had a jury at S’brook find my man guilty of PWITS but not guilty of possession of the firearm 3 inches away in the same draw as the coke. Go figure. It was then that I realized that ‘the charge’ is the win, anything a jury gives you is a bonus. Still think its the best system tho
