"Why only one warning?"
"Why didn't she shoot him in the arm or leg?
"Why couldn't she have shot the machete out of his hand?"
Hokey pokey bollocks from people who have watched too many films. The Australian police officer faced realities, not fantasy.
Still in bed recovering from nights. Zulu is on Channel 4.
One of the greatest "Men in Battle" films ever made.
"Why us?"
"Because we're here lad and nobody else. Because we're here"

This is what happened with the Capitol Hill rioters. The dawning realisation that they had made the worst mistake of their lives.
Then the FBI came through their front door.
@PC_Angry
Not remotely a chase.
Obviously we focus as always on the critics on here but there is as many pointing out the actions of the teenagers and the responsibility of their parents.
Fan walks by me "Can't find a guy with acid on his face can you?"
No, because I am here because you and wands like you are incapable of travelling to watch a football game without causing nuisance to anyone else around.

Equipment designed to protect police officers from being injured. The fact that American law enforcement agencies are chosing to buy British kit is a credit to British workmanship.
What is the story exactly?
This morning Mum went in for an operation on her eye. Basically there was a cancer. Original idea was to use radiation. Then a professor examined it and said "Its too big, the eye has to come out
Mum "Well, if it has to come out then it has to come out"
Beyond my understanding how a police officer- let alone a superintendent- should expect to remain serving after a criminal conviction, a conviction upheld on appeal and being on the sex offenders register.

I am reminded of Johnny Cash's response to concerns that his fanbase being Christian would not approve of him visiting prisons and prisoners
"Then I guess they aren't very Christian then are they?"
Christopher Nolan's "DUNKIRK" starring Fionn Whitehead, Tom Glynn-Carney, Jack Lowden, Harry Styles in his feature film debut, Aneurin Barnard, James D'Arcy, Barry Keoghan, Kenneth Branagh, and Tom Hardy had it's world premiere
#OnThisDay
in 2017 at Odeon Leicester Square, London
Heard a colleague screaming on the radio today. Screaming for urgent assistance then cutting out. Units all 10 minutes away or more. Minutes passed with nothing heard. Finally the news that she was safe and a prisoner secured.
"A lot of people are going to change their behaviour."
Professor Robert Kelly tells Sky News he thinks South Korea will keep the

outbreak under control, after the country reported more than 160 new cases.

Walked down the road to the shops. Whole road stank of skunk which may as well be legalised now. Because after today no officer to going to stop and search anyone even they are walking around in a cloud of it. Not worth the candle anymore.
@IanDunt
You look at a figure like Roy Jenkins and the great social reforms he undertook and you just want to weep at the lack of imagination among today's politicians.
@DPJHodges
Three things that have stopped various protests in London dead in terms of wider support
(1) Vandalism of the Cenotaph
(2) Vandalism of Churchill's statue
(3) Attacking police horses.
People really don't like it
Des O'Connor frequently said that being mocked by Morecambe and Wise made him. People would buy tickets to judge for themselves if he was bad as they said he was.
The opening battle in Gladiator. The best screen depiction of the Roman Army in action since Spartacus.
The influence of The Fall of the Roman Empire was strong in Ridley Scott.
'I was concerned for members of the public and knew we had to stop him.'
PC Gerrard and PC Mulhall reflect on how they instinctively confronted a knife-wielding man in Leicester Square last year, sustaining serious injuries.
Today, their attacker has been jailed for a minimum
@ClaudiaWebbe
If there is one thing that will definitely win Labour the next general election it is that kind of toytown revolutionary bollocks.
Outstanding.
Met officer assaulted woman in wrongful bus fare evasion arrest *Sighs*
Well, you can forget police officers doing anything to assist bus revenue ever again. Smile and wave boys. Smile and wave.
Story I have always liked about Sean Connery. He was doing a film with Lana Turner whose boyfriend was an enforcer for the Los Angeles mob. He came on set drunk, assaulted Turner & threatened the crew with a pistol.
Connery laid him out with one punch.
My portrait of Sir Philip Green taken on his Arcadia office balcony on Oxford Street. He was unpleasant and rude to me and my assistant when we arrived to photograph him so I thought.. well if it’s ok for you to act like a prick, it must be ok to make you look like one. So I did.
@GreenRupertRead
If you truly believe that such Toytown revolutionary posturing is aiding your cause then I have a bridge over the Thames to sell you at a very reasonable price.
Apparently there are people who believe that the RNLI- the very best of volunteers- should let other men, women and children drown in the Channel. I find this attitude incomprehensible. Incomprehensible.
The Cruel Sea on BBC2. Jack Hawkins was a towering presence in everything he appeared in. This I think was his finest role as the captain of a corvette during the Battle of the Atlantic.
I work with those officers pictured. They patrol proactively, they prevent crime and anti social behaviour and arrest offenders. They deserve better than be pilloried for being approachable and friendly.
@JJSharpers
The juries in these Bristol cases have rejected all the usual pleadings you see in public disorder trials by the defense barristers. The judge is hammering them sentencing wise.
Refreshing.
