Great day in Manchester.
Started with a highly recommended breakfast at https://t.co/a7xYIvr8BR then a chance encounter with @BBCBreakfast 's Charlie Stayt... a real gentlemen and as authentic as he appears. Followed by watching @root66 hit 150!
Fantastic Friday.

@InspGadgetBlogs I don't think he's capable of inciting an offence.
He's the only person who thinks he's someone to listen to.
Even the racists at London parades were raising their eyebrows at his desperate attention seeking.
Shake head and ignore, is the recomnended police action from me.

@Philmsh79 @TonyKent_Writes @LiyahK08 @LillzTIL The learning from this can and should not only reflect within policing.
Every day criminals commit serious crimes. At the point of their arrest, they are a stakeholder in their safety.
Those who increase their risks, increase their potential consequences.

Teaches...

@Mobeen_Azhar Can't compete with that mate, my idea of a relaxing catch up is a lime & soda and a cheese & tuna melt panini!

@andcunningham Let alone the thousands on line as well. If there was a portal - it would grind to a halt as soon as it was launched... not least due to all the effort to link 'vendor to person'.
But a portal to instigate bringing down the individual account may disrupt some.

[Tony Saggers @SaggersT]

@andcunningham Let's hope, for the CEO, it's not happening in France.
Totally endorse action against platforms that don't use their algorithms to detect & disrupt the things the rest of us witness.
The problem though, in practice, is that LE can't follow up all 'street dealing' reports...

@Mobeen_Azhar Makes my 2 word DM somewhat tame!

@MartinSLewis
Heard you mention @TheRAC_UK via @Tesco #ClubCard this morning.
For an elderly relative, we established for exactly the same cover, direct with RAC (£228) they were quoted a renewal via #Clubcard of £320.
Not exactly a deal! Almost £100 more to use points???

@nickyjanehill Search 'small claims' and look at no fee (they'll charge the debtor) collections services.

[Tony Saggers @SaggersT]

@nickyjanehill Not a police matter, unless evidence at time you handed money over you were deceived to do so.
Sounds a wholly civil contract. Not HMRC either, unless you agreed cash without invoice & now want to report his part.
But that won't get your money back.
CAB & 'small claims'.

@liamgfansclub @liamgallagher @NoelGallagher 3.5 hour queue to enter Ticketmaster.
450,000 ahead of me to view tickets.
Thrown out of that queue twice.
Phone blocked as suspected to be a 'bot'.
8 hours from starting, had to stop trying.
But it was fun while it lasted!

@SussexPCC @sussex_police @BtonHovePolice series 2 episode 3 of #NightCoppers #Brighton
Outstanding young officers - absolutely doing you proud and showing the public the true quality of the next generation of policing. 👏 👏 👏

[Tony Saggers @SaggersT]

@horacepanterart @thespecials Love these... loved attending the gigs more.

[Tony Saggers @SaggersT]

@NatashaMDay Lovely post, great policing. Glad your son enjoyed it.
It's such a shame that some (who have no idea) suggest this is linked to other failures.
While others are unable to avoid conflating two completely separate events.
Keep posting positivity.

[Tony Saggers @SaggersT]

@bbc5live there is not a #prison problem. We have a 'people in society committing imprisonment offences' problem.
The long term solution is not about sentencing criteria and building prisons... it's crime prevention and potential offender diversion. Particularly for the young.

[Tony Saggers @SaggersT]

@TheSun No respect. No humility. No compassion. No integrity.
I've worked with media for 20y. I know good from bad.
I'm not sure who's worse. You for doing this or the people who will read the article because you have.
It's the vicious cycle of shocking journalism for ignorant readers.

[Tony Saggers @SaggersT]

@Njustafan @bmeado9 It does speak volumes... of how ignorant some are to still ignore references to the women's game - despite their greater success in recent years. 2 finals, one a World Cup. 50% success rate. Needs referencing.

My absolute pleasure to have been the 'International Expert' designing & delivering the NPS & Synthetic Drugs aspect.
2 wks in Islamabad, then returning for 1 wk in Karachi & 1 we in Islamabad.
Great experience working with UNDP & the Anti Narcotics Force.

[UNDP Pakistan @UNDP_Pakistan]

Working together for safer communities in Pakistan! 🇵🇰

At @anfpak, #UNDPinPakistan and @StateINL completed training of 70+ master trainers and 200+ officials in Digital Forensics & Cybercrime, New Psychoactive Substances, Money Laundering & Terror Financing, and Crime Scene Investigation. The project focused on the upskilling of @anfpak to address new-age security challenges emerging from drug-related crimes in Pakistan.

@WestminsterWAG 100% democratic. Those who cared voted. Those who couldn't be bothered get what's given to them. It really is that simple.
