Accy at it again

As the coaches full of coppers came and went they'd show their gratitude by waving wads of cash at the striking miners.

As someone who was there I can't understand what you hoped to achieve by posting this.

I have the photo to prove it taken at Betteshanger Colliery, thank you.

in which case it just goes to show what insensitive thugs Thatcher's puppets were

Some of them, for sure. Some of them were decent people doing a difficult job.

In other words, they're just like the rest of society.

Yes some right vindictive barstools

I like to think i'm a law abiding person on the side of law enforcement,but the police actions during the miners strike were very questionable! The likes of 'The Sun' played it as a revolution led by a lefty loony in Arthur Scargill, but to be fair to Arthur he'd walked the walk,so he had the right to talk the talk,meaning he'd done his share of digging coal,so he knew what he was on about! Those miners weren't after a lefty revolution. They were after preserving not only their jobs but also their way of life and their communities,which were economically and socially decimated after the mines were shut down!

Update.....He's facing gross misconduct charges.

The headline is a bit misleading. He's not been charged with anything, and seems unlikely to ever be charged. The matter is being treated as disciplinary, not criminal.

Shall we have wager on whether he fights it and wins, fights it and is dismissed, or resigns prior to the hearing?

I play golf with the chief inspector. I'll have a word with him and get it sorted.

C. It's traditional to hang on until the last minute before quitting.

At least he seems to have the backing of the general public,even if he did do wrong.

This is from the comments section and has by far the most likes/thumbs up.

Get him back to work...he has paid his price of being found guilty by public opinion-the scum on our streets need to know that not every street police officer is a shrinking snowflake(unlike some of the senior managers) and that some of them care enough about the law abiding public that they will relentlessly pursue vermin.....google the alleged aggrieved-he is a toerag !!!

 

[Drago]

That will be a problem for the "prosecution" counsel - their only witness isn't exactly credible or trustworthy.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Hopefully B or C, we don't need his sort in the job.

I am thankful that he is an ex-peeler. Although with that attitude he must have caused a lot of damage in his time
