How many police to go to a normal break in? It seems it is related to the value of the property and the status of the neighbours. The Met Police appear to stagger from one disaster to another.
EMBARRASSING MOMENTS
- As a 19 year old articled clerk. We had a client who was being done for pornography – he was a 60 year old knife thrower at a fairground who had a ‘peep show’ when he could not get anyone to throw knives at (he also wore pebble glasses!). First I had to go the the police station and view the offending material – gross! Then was told to go to the paper shop and buy every magazine on the top shelf! Glowing like a 100 red traffic lights I had to take them to the counter which was staffed by an attractive 18 year old girl. Then the solicitor and I had to look through them to see if they were as gross!
- In court for drinking and driving – it was the morning after and an early start to pick wife now ex up from work at 6am.
- First day at Churchill School – new tutor group – 5th on the register was Siobhan Fear – my pronunciation was embarrassing Is-oh-b – Han!
that will do for now!

REFUGEES
Brexiteers do not get it! £350 a month, whatever, it is not about money numbskull, it is humanity and common decency and kindness and love, and all you can do is spout money facts. No doubt the great defendant and accused person will be telling Parliament that we are leading the world again. To be honest they can all f* off – enough lies and cynical point scoring for Opinion Polls.
REFUGEES
I read about the welcome given to Ukrainian refugees in Ireland and I have years in my eyes. That humanity and compassion should be shown by all civilised countries – but not the UK, Brexit rhetoric is too ingrown – keep all foreigners out (and if they must come make sure they are not thieves and rapists, unless they have loads of money and speak Russian.
NO FLY ZONE
OLIGARCH HOUSES
So the Sunday Mail has latched onto the idea of using confiscated oligarch’s houses for refugees. I know I spouted this idea a week ago as a knee jerk reaction. Michael Gove has apparently seen it as a vote winner too. HOWEVER – it is bit of a dumb idea! Who is going to pay for conversion to flats, legal consequences, are they suitable for lots of families, etc. One would hope for a more considered approach by Government – rent them out/sell them and us the money to buy a few hotels for refugees – from wherever.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO FOOTBALL?
Chelsea (Russian billions dripping with Ukrainian blood) versus Newcastle United (Saudi Arabian billions dripping with Yemeni blood – and the 81 executed by beheading last week).
No doubt there will be mindless chants by spectators with scarves around their necks so tight the brains supply of blood is halted rendering the organ inoperable and possibly fuelled by cocaine (according to many reports). Incidentally Chelsea FC would receive my total support if, at the start of any pro-Abramovich chants – they walk off the pitch. I wonder how the suits at the FA would cope with that?
