Life in a police state

From The Telegraph: "Police watchdog investigates claims that three officers attacked war veteran"

Also from The Telegraph: "Police shoot man dead outside Guildford Cathedral"

Er, also from The Telegraph: "Damian Green accused of 'grooming' Whitehall mole, claim police"

Ah ... another one from The Telegraph: "Ian Blair poised to publish a book about his years at Scotland Yard" ...Sir Ian Blair is negotiating a book deal worth an estimated £150,000 to reveal all about his turbulent years as head of Scotland Yard.

"Statement due on Sir Ian Blair"

Here's hoping it's something along the lines of "He has committed hari kiri in the light of all his sins and incompetence"!

UPDATE: he's resigned.

Said is said (1)
