    Watford all you do now is come out with stupid remarks. Maybe as you are such a Eurofan you could discuss. If not go and bore someone on the ‘cliquey thread’.

    Well you stuck it on this thread so presumably it’s to have a pop at the EU, which we aren’t a part of, rather than to actually discuss anything. Meanwhile your party has pissed away £37bn my generation and the ones after mine will have to pay back and contributed hugely to 130,000 deaths on an actual ****ing island so perhaps that’s more worthy of comment than crying about being called out for once on all the absolute nonsense propaganda you post on here.

    Eer the news was about the U.K. being falsely accused. If you don’t want to debate that then go on the Government bitch thread with all the ‘usual suspects’? Quite simple.

    Nice to see the respect that Ellers shows to all. Well done Ellers...you’re a shining example to all....especially non existent soldiers and scientists.

    You're right, Stainsey, but each one is an embarrassment. Particularly if this woman was snatched off the street and murdered. May be they knew each other but if not, did he use his uniform and offer her a lift home? As Ellers says, there was something in the way the Assistant Commissioner spoke and the words used that suggested this may be a shocker.

    To be honest, I didn’t see the assistant commissioner speak so can’t comment.
    I do agree if this fella used his uniform to facilitate murder then it would a terrible misuse of authority....but I can’t see how the force could be embarrassed.
    We’ve had rapist black cab drivers, killer GP’s, *****phile celebrities and even thieving ambulance crew.....just proves that if you’re scum, you can be clever, manipulative scum in any and every walk of life.

    Agree, you can apply the law of averages rule, but nevertheless, if one of those who are meant to protect the public is actually murdering citizens, there will be an outcry over recruitment, continuing appraisal of officers, psychological assessment etc. If this officer has murdered this woman, particularly if it's a stranger murder, I'd be worried if the OB weren't embarrassed.

    I agree Goldie in that he could have used his badge or pretended to arrest her on something silly like breaking lockdown? Either way he could have sounded convincing. I guess the lady that has been arrested for assisting is probably a wife/girlfriend. The whole thing is Very sad.

    Sky are saying police are searching woods near his home in Kent.

    Not sure I agree mate, sorry.
    Just proves how cunning and devious these people can be and that they most likely have that in them for many years....using their job as a fantastic cover for their vile deeds.
    I mean look at Shipman....a true psychopath, who from the many books I’ve read about him, seemed to actually enjoy the power that killing gave him.....a god like status. His work as a GP just facilitated he deeds

    I'm sure the GMC was embarrassed by Shipman. But there's a difference. Doctors aren't monitored on a daily basis by their regulatory authority. Coppers are. They have to be in the job they do, enforcing the law. They have body cameras. They work with fellow officers who will evaluate them. There must be psychometric testing to weed out psychopaths in the police. There will be questions. If the AC had stood on the steps of Scotland Yard and said - oh, well, we're bound to have a few murderous psychopaths in our midst, how much succour would that be to the public?

    They would run a mile because they said 3 things that were not correct and he would ask the simple question to Meghan ‘why do you have a history of ditching friends once they are no longer useful?’

    like her or loathe her, JHB has a point.

    While we might be correct and this guy might be a psychopath, praying on innocent victims in the dead of night......we don’t know the full story yet so is a bit early for us to surmise.
    However if he is, then I get your point, however much I disagree to some extent.

    Can someone tell Ellers we have another thread for this. It’s called “the Harry and Meghan thread” I think

    Agree, Stainsey, the story is rolling out as we speak. Headline news.

    Im no expert, far from it, but I do have an interest in “True Crime” and have read many stories of cases, both famous and not so famous.
    One thing I will say is that cases of someone being snatched off the street and murdered by a complete stranger is very rare and in most cases there is a link between the victim and the murderer. Of course that’s not to say this isn’t the case here, but if it was, that for me would make it even more shocking.
    My theory is, and I was talking to a German lad I was crewed up with last week about the same, (when talking of well educated people of his nation committing atrocities during the Nazi regime) that we are ALL capable of murder and horrible things....it’s in us and circumstances dictate that we never, hopefully, have the opportunity to do anything....but it’s still within our capability.
    I’ve always found it an interesting subject

    Bit weird that the other day you were moaning about them being interviewed and are now moaning about them hypothetically not being interviewed by that blob.
