@BBCDorset Looks more like the NI saltire. Cannot say I've ever been intimidated by a roundabout, although Swindon could be described as confusing....

#A31 #Stag Gate #Traffic was very slow moving the culprit a bag that had blown off the back of a vehicle - opened my window & dragged it it, problem solved & 1 bag for garden waste @dorsetpolice saves their time too.

21 Minutes and 48 Seconds That Every Cop Should Watch

Lorne Castle was a police officer doing what thousands of you do every single shift.
He arrested someone.
He wrote up a statement.
And then — like so many of you — he thought no more of it.

Over a year later, that same statement was being torn apart by a barrister during six hours of interrogation across a three-day misconduct hearing.
The end result?
Dismissed.

This interview isn’t just about Lorne.
It’s about the growing number of officers being dragged through the system — not for corruption, not for abuse, but for doing their job.

If that doesn’t worry you — it should.

Because next time, it might not be Lorne.
It might be you.
And when the media move on or lose interest as soon as the clock runs down, we’ll still be here, shining a light where it matters.

This is a conversation every officer needs to hear.
And a warning every public body needs to listen to.

@royalwindsortri @RoyalNavy Triathlon same race as ten years ago, in the same time too! 1h30 - sprained calf slowed me down, but did not stop me.

If people fail the entrance process, then are taken on to make up a qouta ( to prevent a fine) - then leave or are found unsuitable. Surely there's some aspect of corruption involved? @PCCDorset

Report reveals Dorset Police added 99 police officers in the last financial year… but 53 left the force https://t.co/iYwn2jQDIa #RecruitmentAndRetention

@BGatesIsaPyscho Wombles are to blame, especially that Mde Cholet. Since the 70'S numbers have risen, so when they begin cooking food (usually crepes) - there's a massive power outage to the dangerous & illegal wired in cookers underground. Then 💥

@TheBritLad Feral kid arrested, clearly not making his onward journey easy, a distraction slap given to enable other guy to close the door. Poor lad mismanaged by his family & state what hope has he have when he cannot understand, 'consequence' or spell 'respect'.

[Robert Hammond ⚓️ @robhammond14]

@BGatesIsaPyscho Or should read "former" prison guard has a smoke with inmates. In a few months it may have another headline...

[Robert Hammond ⚓️ @robhammond14]

@kevlondon4 So a girl gets arrested & like hyenas, the others pile in to scream shout & try to prevent it. What's your agenda or the issue apart from those in the clip knowing how to not behave.

[Robert Hammond ⚓️ @robhammond14]

@BGatesIsaPyscho Looks more like a seagull, what is the context of the video or are you spinning it to suit an agenda?

[Robert Hammond ⚓️ @robhammond14]

@YvetteCooperMP, you're a bit quiet?

[Janine 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇮🇱 @macjay72]

Just a reminder that these three are still out and about whilst Lucy Connolly remains in prison because of …a Facebook post.

[Robert Hammond ⚓️ @robhammond14]

No prizes but where am I?
