retep Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Why so? Disposing of old guns, tasers and truncheons doesn't cost the police an ongoing bill for upkeep, unlike horses. Consequently the police don't shuffle them off onto other people to save themselves some money - which they do with horses. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10581584 Two Durham police officers who sold on guns which had been handed in to the force for safe disposal have been given suspended prison sentences.

not wanted Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The problem with this story as silly as it is at first glance is that the media are focussing on it rather than the very serious points and claims put across in the Leveson Inquiry this week. A Labour Home Secretary was briefed about the hacking by the Met and MI5 in 2006 and did nothing even though 3 cabinet members and several other politicians were thought to have been hacked at the time. The NoTW put a serving police officer who was doing a review of a vicious axe murder under surveillance and used the excuse that they thought he was having an affair with somebody who turned out to be his wife. The alleged axe murderer is a close friend of a senior NoTW journo. The NoTW had access to info relating to the witness protection scheme. New ID's, address's, phone numbers ect. The officer who did the review in 2009 saying that the hacking scandal only effected a small number of people claimed that he was hacked on several occasions and that Andy Coulson was also a victim. Can a person sue themselves and win? John Prescott was known to have been a likely victim the day after they raided Mulcaires office but the Met refused to admit it until late last year and say they searched the info for his name scores of times. For 4 or 5 years News International stuck to a story about it being a single reporter who got caught hacking but this week we have seen emails that clearly show that Wade/Brooks knew in 06/07 what was going on because she had a briefing from a high up police officer. This isn't just a story about celeb gossip and who is shagging who in the NoTW, it's a lot darker than that and the cover up is falling apart.

Darth Vader Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Or, it exposes the fact that whichever administration person decides to whom retired police horses should be loaned, does not also have the job of conducting criminal investigations into phone hacking. Or, in other words, the left hand knows not what the right is doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
