    Maybe it was just a Met thing?

    Bit off baton rounds, sorry.
    As I said at #58, changed under the Police Reform Act 2002:
    Amended by the Police Reform Act 2002, Section 83 Police Reform Act 2002
    The law's the law and even the Met need to comply

    I daren't actually name my organisation.... They have armies of admin staff watching our social media as it is. It would probably breach professional standard #39: 'Having an opinion'

    In the career of glory one gains many things; the gout and medals, a pension and rheumatism....all of these fatigues experienced in your youth, you pay for when you grow old. Because one has suffered in years gone by, it is necessary to suffer more, which does not seem exactly fair.
