      The demand from Lady Lawrence directly challenges police chiefs’ resolute stance of refusing to name undercover officers on the grounds that they have an absolute and lifelong duty to protect officers who worked in covert roles.
      Yeah. Because it's important for CPOs to remember where their duty lies, init?

        UK police can be convicted of criminal offences. And rather a lot are. But only as long as no-one died. Or was attacked because of the colour of their skin. Or because they were protesting injustice. Or etc etc

          I doubt any of this lot will be though.

            Peterborough thugs convicted, but their prison sentence is suspended.

              Attempted break-ins at odd-numbered houses were not fully investigated by one police force as part of an experiment to save money.

              Police and Crime Commissioner Sir Clive Loader said he was unaware of the idea but would have advised against it.

                  Good fucking riddance too. This is the cunt who tried to arm Scotland's police by stealth, despite being told by the public and every politician in the land not to do so.

                  The gallows humour doing the rounds back home is that he handed in his notice on Monday, but Police Scotland only found it today...

                    Really? I thought it was Wee Eck that was one of the prime movers / apologists for the routine arming of the Polis?

                    Had I misconstrued that?

                      Salmond argued for having some armed police for emergency response purposes (anti-terror cops at airports, etc), but he didn't give House permission to send them out on routine patrols on the high street: House ignored him and did so anyway.

                      Then Sturgeon took over post-referendum and ordered House to cease and desist - it took several months after that for it stop.

                      The amazing thing is he's lasted this long; any other government would have sacked the bastard outright last year.

                                        I see that PC George Cooper, 41, "... claimed that his daughter had owned the phone that his offensive messages were sent from..."

                                        Is there no-one our forces will try to fit up?

                                                Sacked but not charged, and the whistleblower also has her career ended because she's branded a 'snitch'. Disgraceful.

                                                    A salutory reminder, for those calling for more blanket police powers, on what they sometimes do with them.
