October 2012 saw the Plebgate incident which is still going on, but ‘Let those who judge be judged’ was about senior officers and politicians who discipline lower ranked officers, but who in fact have been dishonest themselves, or committed offences or cover ups.

The second part of the low down of my year of blogs. The first part was a mixed bag – and the second quarter is no different. Let the public see complaints against the Police looked at if we had to declare every single complaint of officers, including those that aren’t substantiated, then this would … Continue reading →

I finished nights on Saturday morning having done 6 days on, coming off nights at 7am. Four days off. Hurrah! The only problem is that you sleep for the majority of the first one, and then there are three days off for you to get everything sorted. Social/Love/Family life, housework, washing and resting. Just how … Continue reading →

I decided to join the modern world and head in to ‘cyberspace’ this week by joining twitter.
