Seems a bit odd to do that, there must be people still around who'll be affected by some dramatisation of what happened. Isn't there a police officer who's disabled now?

Yeh there is. Not sure whether it's been done after discussion or with ppl's permission.

I vaguely remember him being held up as a hero by some round there but didn't realise the extent.

He was held up as a hero by people all over the country. Even now people travel from all over to Rothbury to visit where he died.

The police involved at the time asked them not to make this show but they said it’s a dramatisation, so…

It didn't come across like that, I thought it was very well made. It focused heavily on the victims rather than him. The way the boyfriend (who was killed) and Moat's ex were treated and forgotten about and what their families had to endure was appalling.

It also highlighted the police, who didn't treat the warnings seriously enough, without trying to blame them I thought was also well done.

Social media innit. They believed his bullshit that he was the victim, and that his ex was some slapper that was having it away while he was in prison. Whereas the truth was he beat up his gf and was in prison for assaulting a 9 yr old.

That was 2010, social media has just got even worse since then. Fcking lunatics everywhere and there'll be morons out there who'll believe them.

He shot a copper in the face. Little wannabe gangsters buzz off that sort of stuff.

He used to work the doors in Newcastle but he lost his licence with that because he was an over aggressive bullying cnut. When it was all going on, I was working with one of his mates who was trying to convince everyone that it was his ex's fault because she wound him up by telling him she was shagging a copper. The truth is Moat knew she was lying about that but he continued to lie about believing it to be true because he'd always hated the police and he thought people would sympathise with him over it, which they did.

I don't think we have enough police in the country. Even then i believe police work tends to be reactionary rather than proactive and there comes a point where the latter may start encroaching into minority report.

I hate reading about harassment and stalking and threats but if someone wants to do it and eventually goes crazy where they take action, what can the police really do about it short of jailing them early?

Did it show Gazza taking him some fish and chips and six pack of Newcastle brown, or whatever completely ****ing idiotic (quelle surprise) thing it was he did?

My brother on law's a copper in Manchester. The stuff he has to deal with is unreal and the pressure and workload on him is immense. He's seen enough join and leave. And the more that do the more the workload. He tells me about how he has to read the situation and the scrapes he's had to deal with, but if some random nutter wants to do him harm (which thankfully hasn't happened) it's down to luck. Btw somewhat related a LOT of the work they're expected to do now is mental health. They've somehow had it lumped onto their roles and responsibilities and he says they're becoming more like counsellors than coppers.
