I have five crisp shekels on the reason being plod's habitual maceration of the King's own language in a vain attempt to appear authoritative. Exhibit A: proceeding in an easterly direction.

I think you’ve put your finger on it, there. (oo-err).

‘Openly Jewish’ aside from being well suss, doesn’t even make sense in context. If the officer was referring to Falter wearing a kippah, well…so do an awful lot of Jews who attend the demonstrations (there’s even a watermelon one specifically designed to demonstrate Palestinian solidarity)…and that’s before we get to the Neturei Karta who, fringe as they may be, are visually about as ‘openly Jewish’ as it’s possible to be.

As per an earlier comment, I don’t think this is about suing anyone. The Campaign Against Antisemitism, which Falter heads, has been lobbying to have pro-ceasefire marches banned for months now. Mark Rowley has been less than eager to play ball, but if he can be forced out then there’s always the possibility that a more politically amenable replacement can be installed in his place.

None of this means that the officer’s remark should pass unremarked on. Falter’s a shitheel looking to paint the capitol as an ultraviolent no go zone for Jews, but if the police are telling the truth about his trying to walk into the crowd etc. then ‘You are attempting to start trouble where none previously existed’ should be reason enough to keep him apart from the marchers, without the ‘openly Jewish’ shit on top of it.

This is amazing. Seriously, if it appeared as an incident in a fictional BBC drama about police corruption people would be ripping the piss out of it for lack of subtlety.

What?

An instructor has been banned from policing after a disciplinary panel found he threw petrol bombs to celebrate the end of a training course.

The panel ruled James Duthoit committed gross misconduct and would have been sacked had he not already resigned from the Metropolitan Police.

Fire caused by the petrol bombs resulted in around £10,000 worth of damage to the force's public order training centre in Gravesend, Kent, in 2022, the panel said.

Mr Duthoit, who did not attend the hearing in May, denied misconduct and involvement in throwing petrol bombs...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg5edd873po.amp

... It is "incredulous" that the incident would have happened without his "instigation and full involvement", they said, especially as he was the lead instructor.

Mr Duthoit's actions "were reckless and created a risk of serious physical harm", according to the panel's findings.

It said his behaviour was "akin to the criminal offence of criminal damage" and "undermines public confidence" in the Met.

"The incident was aggravated by the fact that he was drunk and tried to conceal his wrongdoing by trying to extinguish the fire himself," the panel added.

Students and instructors celebrated the end of a five-week course led by Mr Duthoit by going out for a meal and drinks before returning to the training centre, according to the panel's report.

Petrol bombs that were made for training purposes were thrown inside a courtyard, which set alight the interior wall, window fittings, and a stripped car used during courses, it said.

Around 150 fire extinguishers were used to put out the blaze, which "caused significantly more damage than it otherwise might have done if the fire brigade had been called," the panel added...

And will there be charges brought?

This seems to be an interesting development in the grooming gang story.

National Crime Agency takes over investigation into claims police sexually abused children in Rotherham

For years many on the right have argued that the police didn't properly investigate grooming gangs because they didn't want to be accused of being racist. It now appears that in Rotherham the reason the police didn't pursue grooming gangs was because some officers in the force were involved with the gangs.

About 30 years ago my sister was an emergency social worker in Wakefield she often worked 4 nights a week in Wakefield and her main job was to act as the responsible adult either sitting in on interviews where people were being sectioned or when I child in care ended up in police custody. Having a social worker performing this role was a good idea because a social worker could spot if some teenagers were ending up in trouble on a regular basis they could raise the matter with senior social workers and care homes.
The police clearly didn't like the fact that there was a social worker on hand to ensure that they were following the correct protocol and after about 18 months the council were eventually persuaded to replace social workers with volunteers. Whilst these volunteers served their purpose they were not really in a great position to spot trends and follow up any concerns. I wonder if this kind of thing happened in some of the councils where grooming gangs were operating.

Take a bow, Merseyside Police. A bunch of useless fucknuggets.

Police had fingerprint evidence linking a high-profile councillor to a poison pen letter up to 12 months before he went on to target another politician in a "persistent and wicked" hate mail campaign.

Well-known Liverpool anti-poverty campaigner Gerard Woodhouse, 63, was given a community order last year for harassing ex-Lord Mayor Christine Banks – who he had known for 50 years – with anonymous letters and cards in the post between 2023 and 2025.

But the BBC has learned that although an investigation that pre-dated his hate campaign against Labour colleague Banks yielded fingerprint evidence from a letter sent to a housing association boss, the inquiry was stood down because officers were "unable to establish contact" with the alleged victim after she left her job.

Despite reopening the case earlier this year, police have now had to drop it because the time limit for prosecuting harassment allegations has expired.

The alleged victim, Julie Fadden, 65, said if Woodhouse had been dealt with he might have been stopped before he began harassing Banks and other suspected victims.

Merseyside Police did not respond to the BBC's questions about whether it had done enough to contact Fadden during the 2022 investigation...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1jy755gd35o

...And the BBC has since learned that in 2022 the force received a complaint from Fadden, after a card arrived at the housing association she worked at. It suggested her "time was coming", and included the phrase "tick-tock, tick-tock".

Fadden – who is now a Liverpool Labour councillor herself - said: "That could have meant anything. It could have meant I was losing my job, but it could have meant that someone was going to be harmed."...

Woodhouse sounds like a right nasty cunt.

...She reported the letters to the police and they took away the original hard copies...

and promptly did fuck-all about them.

I suppose "lessons will be learnt".

The Met. Again.

Another Metropolitan Police officer has been dismissed following BBC Panorama's undercover investigation into the force's Charing Cross station.

PC Mason O'Connor was sacked after a hearing found he had breached standards of professional behaviour, relating to a comment he made to a female colleague, the Met said.

O'Connor was reported to a "proactive wider investigation" following the broadcast of the programme in October 2025 and he has become the 13th officer to be sacked since then, the force added.

Other officers who were covertly filmed for the documentary were seen calling for immigrants to be shot, boasting about excessive use of force and joking about rape and sexual assault.

Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said at the time that this behaviour was "totally unacceptable".

A disciplinary panel on Tuesday heard that O'Connor had, while off-duty at a pub, told a female colleague that he hoped she would be raped on her way home.

He was found to have breached standards of professional behaviour for authority, respect and courtesy, equality and diversity, and discreditable conduct, the Met said.

As well as the 13 officers the Met has sacked, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said another two men, both former officers, had also been found to have committed gross misconduct.

The policing watchdog added it was still investigating the conduct of a further 15 officers or police staff in the wake of the Panorama film.

"This is one of our largest ever investigations in terms of the number of officers investigated," said the IOPC's Amanda Rowe...

Coppers whine about the public losing trust in them, then shit like this comes to light which shows the public are right to not trust them.

It's the decent coppers doing a decent job (of whom there are many) who I feel sorry for. They're having their reputations ruined by their own cuntish colleagues.

IIRC a former Met officer is standing as the Reform candidate in the Holborn and St. Pancras by-election.

And the ones who shout loudest about bad policing are the ones they support time and again.
