    In my time with the police 60s-90s serious incidents occurred and you knew you had the backing of your very senior officers providing you hadn't overstepped the mark performing your duties.
    Now there doesn't seem any back up for these lads and as others have said they're **** scared of upsetting certain groups who shout the loudest when these things happen.
    Don't know why anybody would want to join today's police service never mind volunteering to carry firearms.

    Brilliant post EJK, I was hoping you would have some input to this story.

    Anybody who carries a gun into a crowded nightclub and fires it deserves to die. You **** around you find out.

    Another campaigner, Kayza Rose, said:
    "No-one can be safe while the police can kill with impunity.”

    <laugh>

    Yes love, that’s definitely what’s making the streets unsafe …

    … you thick bigoted twat, now f*ck off.

    The ****ing nerve!

    Even not withstanding this guys history, if an average joe like myself was to suddenly be surrounded by armed police, asking me to leave the vehicle, and I was to use my car as a battering ram to make an escape and I was to catch a bullet between the eyes, I'd like to think that my family, though upset, would accept that I brought my demise on myself.

    But to trot out with this police violence rhetoric, fully knowing that this guy was a gangster, whilst driving a car linked to a shooting, whilst being on the police radar about a nightclub shooting and god knows what else the police/family were aware and unaware of? If the police HAVE to get violent, these are the type of people I like to see being used for their target practice.

    She’s basically saying that “ no criminal who possesses a fire arm is safe “. Even then , police don’t kill with impunity.

    OK, here we go, time to invite some flak from people but it's my honest opinion.

    Whenever there's a death by knife or gun in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, etc, we always see 'the community' come out with flowers, teddy bears, candles and sob stories. OK, fair enough, someone has sadly died but that family and that community are often complicit in the criminality. Perhaps not directly but I'd bet the families are aware these people aren't going out to work every day and doing a normal job.

    I'm sure they enjoy the presents, the holidays and the money that swills around. The 'community' will rally round, never 'grass' to the police and enjoy the benefits that the criminality brings. If they feel inclined they'll have a riot which will inevitably end up with shops being looted by these poor 'bereaved and grieving' people. Then, of course, they'll criticise the police for arresting them.

    The phrase that springs to mind is 'play with fire and you'll get your fingers burned.'

    The Ship and Royal in Shields closing next week. Staff all made redundant.

    Rumours it's getting a refurb and reopening end of November.

    This is incredible . . . . and true.

    A surgeon has found a way to remove large brain tumours through patients’ eyebrows in what is believed to be a world-first.

    The NHS’s Anastasios Giamouriadis has adapted keyhole surgery to extract apple-sized cancers, which leaves less scarring than normal craniotomies.

    The consultant neurosurgeon and his team have carried out the new procedure, which takes half of the usual time of eight hours, on 48 patients.

    Mr Giamouriadis, of NHS Grampian, North East Scotland, said: “It is more challenging technically, but it takes probably half the time, if not less. The patient will go home the second day and be back to normal life on most occasions within a week or two."

    Need a bit advice....

    The Mrs is going to see some ****e at Sunderland Empire tomorrow afternoon, and I'm dropping her off. I haven't been in the City Centre for donkeys, so not sure where to drop off. It would need to be within a shortish walking distance, she has a blue badge, so I'm OK that way on. I'm just dropping off, then picking up later, not parking up.

    We would be coming in from Chester Road if that's any help.

    It was a few years ago , but I dropped off outside , and I think I found a side road about 100 yds past when I came back to pick up .
    Worth ringing the theatre , especially if you have a badge to see if they facilitate ?
