SSN: 'Marouane Fellaini in advanced talks with another premier league club'

[Tony C]

Neither did I, sc.

I did 'enjoy' a Friday night detained at Holborn in the early 90s though.

I was arrested during a night out on suspicion of criminal damage. Locked me up, didn't interview me at all and then let me go without charge at 12.45pm on the Saturday lunchtime.

No explanation, no apology nor any breakfast. *****s.

Trust me...you wouldn’t have wanted the microwave Poundland breakfast ready meal that they spit in.

It's not exactly the Gestapo, is it? I take it they didn't pull your toenails out with pliers?

Wow, we do set the bar pretty low don't we.

At least our police don't routinely shoot black people for more or less no reason.

Not routinely....

[Peter]

Did this by any chance involve the large-scale public consumption of Class A drugs? It did, didn't it?

There's your problem, y'see? Taking the p1ss.

You massive hypocrite

I was rather roughly manhandled including a short stint of strangling and then pushed into the pack of a van with, shall we say, disproportionate force considering I wasn't resisting. Not bad considering I hadn't actually done anything to break the law.

It was the lack of a full English that really stepped over the mark tbh

Its the collective we of people who dont think it is ok for the police to attack and assault innocent people and then commit perjury and falsification of evidence to try and convict them. Or for them to make a fatal mistake that led directly to the death of 96 people and then lie about it for twenty five years including smearing the innocent and breathalysing children.

I wouldn't call it royal but I would like to think there are a few of us.

Meh. You see evrything through the prism of your self-congratulatory, sanctimonious moral certainties, made concrete by cultural Marxism.

Yeah. I'm increasingly convinced that that is absolutely OK because - and this is crucial - it has proved vastly preferable to the alternative of a police force more terrified of being called racist or corrupt than actually protecting the vast majority of law-abiding people and maintaining public safety.

People should be scared of the police, p. They should be terrified enough to know that, if they push their luck, they may well end up at the bottom of a stairwell with several of their limbs (and possibly their head) pointing the wrong way. Under the system people like you have created, the police are now a joke and the public feel unsafe - with considerable justification in many cases.

Hypocrisy is simply the name that sanctimony gives to realism, p.

Intellectual flexibility is the current term, I believe.

Guilty people should be scared of the police.

THere is a difference between getting a cuff round the back of the head and being sent on your way and killing 96 people at a football match and lying about it for 25 years. One is old school, the other is a government-level cover up and perversion of the course of justice that ademocratic society should not tolerate, even for a moment.

If only we lived in a democratic society.

I am not sure that the correct and proper use of the justice system can necessarily be referred to as cultural marxism.....
