Under Funded and Under Resourced?

November 6, 2018 Longrider General News, General Rants 19

Yeah, right…

Police have been searching the house that hosted the sick bonfire party as sobbing family of one of the five men arrested for burning an effigy of Grenfell Tower told MailOnline today they fear for their lives.

Bobbi Connell, 19, is understood to have handed himself in to police with his father Cliff, 49, who hosted the shocking bonfire party at his home in South Norwood, south London.

Detectives investigating if it the incident was a public order offence or a hate crime have been going through the property’s wheelie bins looking for evidence and photographing its scorched lawn.

When my bike was stolen last year – a real crime as opposed to a made-up fake crime – the lazy arseholes couldn’t even be bothered to find the time to look at the CCTV footage. Yet, despite the “cuts” they have the time to investigate what was an example of tasteless humour as if it was a crime. While these cunts are wasting time looking through rubbish bins and taking pictures of a scorched lawn, there are real crimes being committed and real victims suffering the effects. This is just another example of the politicisation of the police.

My respect for the police has been evaporating for years. It’s now into minus kelvin values. Yeah, yeah, I know, mixed metaphors.

  1. I would imagine they’ve been arrested not because of them actually having done anything wrong, but because of the possible violence that may come from the scum of the Earth to people seen in the video.

  2. Why are they searching the house? Do they require physical evidence that a sick joke has been committed? The police are a sick joke if you ask me. Meanwhile some teenage kid got stabbed to death in front of his family, did Theresa May take the time to say how totally unacceptable that was?

  3. Any news on the cause of the actual fire? Any politicians or media asking why there seems to be no police activity on that front? Hmmmm.

    • This was all about showmanship. They haven’t learned from the Cliff Richard case. Although ordinary people don’t have the resources to fight back. They are utterly contemptible.

      • Agree there this is little more than virtue signalling by the police. They want to be seen as the ones who preserve the holy memory of Grenfell. The police have wasted masses of resources on this, resources that could and should be better used elsewhere. It is behaviour like this by the police that makes more and more Britons agree with you that the police have become utterly contemptible.

          • Bucko,

            You mean if they plant a tiny bit of cannabis.

            I’ve had no respect for the police for 40 years, since I was arrested because a copper took exception to me standing up for my rights. When I made a formal complaint, magically another copper appeared who was able to witness that I’d assaulted the first copper. Despite this heinous crime, they were happy to drop all charges if I dropped the complaint. Since then, I’ve known that the police exist to serve their own interests and screw the taxpayer who pays their salary. I truly would not piss on a copper if he or she was on fire.

            If It saved his life, he’d probably arrest me for assault, indecency, whatevery

  5. The irony of the situation of course is that whilst the Met desperately scavange around in circles arresting this lot and try to find something to pin on them, not one person – not one – has been arrested and charged in connection with the real Grenfell fire, which occurred 17 months ago.

    Not one person from the TMO who were paid to manage Grenfell, not one person from the architects who designed and approved the cladding, not one person from the building inspectorate who signed it off, and not one person from the London Fire Brigade, who issued it’s fire certificates.

    Not one…
