A goverment aid has been arrested in a dawn raid ..is there a hint that the police have over reacted here..? most dawn raids are taken in the understanding that fire arms are involved....I think the police are infested with tories..

Yep the ones who wear aprons and roll their trouser legs up , actually I think your web buddy in Ossy may be one, not that I think he will ever admit it .

;) :D
 
In this day and age everything is for sale. The way society is now a title aint what it used to be a 100 years ago and its in my opinion an ego thing .
 
I'm afraid it's nothing new Spuggie.
The Lords & Ladies of England have been bent as a 9 bob note for centuries.

However they used to hide it a wee bit better...
 
Just pionting out that the Met seem to think they are doing a good job on Labour.. I don't recall the same arrests made on Willets,Hamilton.. both were proven to have taken bribes.. and it was 5 years later when Archer was found to be guilty of perjury.. bye the bye.. he looks like a nice bloke Geof.. giving all that money away...... just goes to show.. you can't keep a GOOD TORY down.
 
you have lost me on this one.. aprons? trousers?... no wonder all the pie shops closed down, what has union road come too??
 
Just back to the point of the thread - it's not surprising that the Met have done this.
This is the same Met that put 8 bullets in the back of an innocent bloke after 7/7.
S'pose it's revealing our 'special relationship' with America, eh.
 
Any non-caucasian person carrying a rucksack is judged to be acting like a terrorist with a bomb.
It's hardly suspicious behaviour.

Nothing justifies that man's death.
 
Running away from police in a tube station whilst having dark skin and a rucksack probably wasn't the best thing to do. Of course he didn't deserve it and that dosn't justify taking someones life, but he could well have been a terrorist in the circumstances so they had few options..
 
Its not just in London were a rucksack and Dark skin atracts attention. The support centre we have at work has people of ethnic minorities from Asia and Africa and they seem to be stopped on a regular basis even though it is known were they work. Maybe they should start bunging cash to Tony so that they can get to and from work in peace never mind a peerage!

The poor bloke probably shat himself at the sight of numerous blokes in uniform with guns running after him. I know I'd leg it in that situation.

They had the more sensible option to run after him & bring him in for questioning. Surely the level-headed Met would've chosen this?
It's disgusting what happened on that day. Too quick are we to point the finger ...or gun, as it were.
 
Lets suppose he did have a bomb attached to him, if they arrested him he could have just detonated it. They must have had a strong suspicion to shoot him..

anyway we're thread wandering :)
