Witness Tony Blair setting up the Saville enquiry and it has found absolutely nothing but cost a fortune and the beneficiaries of this enquiry?

I can understand that to win a case we need the best barrister and if s/he is as good as their bumph we simply have to wait until s/he has the time to give his opinion. I understand that to get the best doctor we may have to wait until he comes off his three weeks holiday to Australia paid for by the drugs company.

I can understand queueing up to see a creme de la creme person. But why for Christ’s sake do we have to wait for somebody in a hospital manager’s office or a police station to get off their arse and do a bit of photo-copying? Why?

Is it because – as I have rightly found out on countless occasions – that notes need to be amended, ‘lost’ and doctored etc. – before my client or I may see them? Should we be this suspicious? Time and again ……….. it takes a solicitor to retrieve full and complete information. Even since the FOI act became better known!

What a money-making and jobs-for-the-boys situation this is!

This Hillsborough business cannot be rushed! I want every copper squirming on the end of a hook ………….. But only because I want them to squeal on the people who wanted the hush.

Next ……….. I would like those who were involved in the cover-up to be hanged in a very public place for our pleasure. Not Her Majesty’s!

Notables and dignatories always have a lot to say about lesser mortals being tagged and given lengthy sentences. Let us use the same punitive arguments for all the lizards and parasites out there who purport to want to justice ………….. except for themselves.

Hang ‘em high! Without their trousers!

And then of course ………… there are all those naughty Judges and other notables ……….. errrr ………… like Ministers and MPs.

Where do we begin to resolve all these issues with our authority figures?

It looks like we need to check out a bIt of the old anarchy if you ask me! I think there is a lot to be said for it. :grin;

I would have liked Labour to have done this when they came into power. I suppose it just proves how steeply the police are involved with the Government. Tut. Tut.

How many more decades will it be befire we unravel the mysteries of Dunblane? Sad. I suppose once again – it just proves how seriously the judiciary is involved.

What is it with the UK? Why do we have to wait until everybody is drawing their pension or last breath before we bring them to book?

Is Smith pursuing a desperate attempt to draw attention back to the Tories, given when Hillsborough happened?

We don’t want to find out in two years time that the police are not fit for the purpose of crowd control. We already know all that …….. and have done so for more than twenty years. Any and all revelations should be considered immediately. The public should be involved at every stage of these inquiries and enquiries from day one. Police officers who insist on wearing political hats should not even be allowed into any meetings.

Since the miners’ strike we have had successive Governments giving the police so much power that they literally do not know what to do with it.

The police were originally formed to protect and serve. They are servants of the public and paid for by the public. Never has one group of public servants created so much mistrust in whole communities apart from politicians! This cannot be allowed to continue.

Sergeants and inspectors are the ones that need to be dealt with first. They are the officers who have to handle the constables who work in the communities, so should therefore be the ones who wield the greatest power. It is down to the sergeants and inspectors to recognise the particular problems of the areas that they police. They should interview constable candidates and have the last say on whether they will even allow a constable to work in their unit and give reasons why they don’t want a particular person to work there. Currently, police officers are not sacked – they are just ‘moved’ to other areas without publicly identifying why.

If a sergeant or inspector cannot control his area and the constables that work in it, they should be sacked without pension. If the laws regarding employment rights need changing ……….. we will just have to change them!

There is no point in having regional and national directives and a one-size fits all policy. It doesn’t work and it has never worked.
