My thoughts exactly, Twink. I've watched far too many police interceptor TV shows to think otherwise now.

Haven't the Met reported itself to IPSO, or whatever it's called, so the complaint can be investigated properly?

Re: Another `Privileged` Sportsperson

My thoughts exactly on this Twink. I think they just saw it as an opportunity to create a problem for police whom I'm sure would have been fine if they had just pulled over as instructed.

Dick apologising doesn't help matters.

Re: Another `Privileged` Sportsperson

With all the screaming of “ Stop… My son is the car… Don’t …Blah blah blah “ and the pushing to get out, must have caused a bit of chaos.

But still she had her wits about her, and a steady arm to capture her frenzied, panic on film.

I believe she deliberately created the altercation when stopped, to use Racism as an excuse of their innocence.

Nothing wrong, nothing done.

I also agree, even though I have worked with the Police for many years that some of them are arrogant, offensive pillocks who should not be in the job.
Unfortunately we could say that about people in many jobs... but it doesn't mean they are racist!

Ricardo, Bianca's partner and driver, is Portuguese. It's quite normally for them to drive on the wrong side of the road.

Re: Another `Privileged` Sportsperson

Well the police chief has offered them both an apology which basically means then what the police did was wrong. Thanks for not backing up your own officers!!!!, the police chief is a disgrace in my opinion. Backup your officers, don't pander to political correctness which is what the police chief has done.
