Naughty, naughty... "A secret memo has revealed the shocking truth behind a ‘lorry load’ of anti-corruption files shredded by Scotland Yard. A summary of the files says investigators gathered evidence of wholesale criminal behaviour by trusted police officers during an undercover three-year probe.The memo, written by Detective Superindent (sic) David Hurley, said corrupt officers: - Stole and trafficked illegal drugs;
- Shared reward payouts with informants;
- Sold confidential police intelligence to criminals;
- Fabricated applications for more rewards and accepted bribes to destroy and fabricate evidence.
But the so-called ‘lorry load’ of information which contained the findings – including documents, photographs and videos – was mysteriously shredded during a two-day operation in 2003." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2587531/Truth-corruption-files-police-shredded-Secret-memo-officers-trafficked-drugs-faked-evidence-took-bribes.html

Wouldn't you think that the author, knowing, apparently, of this corruption, would have taken the basic precaution of coying at least some of it? One might wonder if he has got a book coming out?

When a sergeant pulls you over and then offers to sell you drugs you get a glimpse of the low level stuff, what you don't see is what's going on up the ranks, but rest assured, it is going on.

I'm not allowed to claim expensed for costs incurred during the course of my work without receipts being produced & subsequently retained by my employer - surely the same should be the case for our <cough> 'honourable' Members of Parliament? After all, they're not exactly prime examples of honesty these days, are they?

I'm sure of it, & you've mentioned that drugs business before, but this does all seem very 'convenient' . Cynical? Moi? <insert residence of preferred deity here> forfend

After all, they're not exactly prime examples of honesty these days, are they? Well, yes - likewise. Although there's always the dodge of giving a taxi driver a fiver over the meter and asking for a receipt for a fiver more than that, or just asking for a blank receipt. My friends have got used to them all being invited round for drinks as soon as I get home now, as they wonder who's turn it is to provide handwriting. The nice one was the ol' small rural family-forecourt just before Bristol Airport who used to write out the receipt on one of those carbon-paper receipt book things, which complimented their ancient "Open All Hours" type cash register nicely. I also happened to have one of those receipt books in my desk drawer at home... Unfortunately, it got brought out by Esso and now is a fully digital establishment with it's own Budgens and everything. Of course, I could be making all this up to spin a yarn and not actually be admitting to defrauding my employer at all. Unlike our leaders, some (but not enough) of whom got sent down for it. As to my original point, I was of course referring to this episode:- www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-567121/Tony-Blairs-expenses-shredded-mistake--just-public.html"By mistake," my arse!! And then there's this, which is a new one on me:- metro.co.uk/2009/06/18/blair-claimed-7000-expenses-two-days-before-he-quit-203830/Nice little resettlement grant he tugged for himself there, eh?!!

I now have a camera in my car, just in case. Some years ago before I moved house I was driving up a lane and a BT van came hammering the other way. I pulled in and stopped and then he barged past, scraping the side of my car. Details were swapped and then I got told I would only get 50/50 and lose my no-claims as the lying chod had said I was moving, too. Camera would've been handy that day, the taqqiya-spinning little s**t.

The article is written in such a very English way. I read all of it with certain bits read twice and am still not sure what they are talking about. A year in jail seems a little extreme for arguing with someone in public. I'm assuming it's mostly politics.

A year in jail seems a little extreme for arguing with someone in public. I'm assuming it's mostly politics. The jail time will be for being corrupt in a public office - they lied to make a case, basically. Fitted him up. Framed him. By the way, Sky is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Like Fox...
