I ordered a couple of bits off Amazon yesterday, they will deliver today. In contrast, there was a recent story about Royal Mail taking 8 years to deliver a birthday card, and they fined the bloke over having the wrong stamp on it. Dont get me wrong, I am not trying to say that this is a regular occurrence, but we seem incompetent in dealing with, or organising so many things. The police are rightly criticised in so many areas, we dont have a clue about controlling our borders, social care, the Home Office cant process asylum applications in a reasonable time, which leads to massive accommodation bills, we let Bulgarians rob £50million in benefits, we cant seem to run a train on time, best not to mention the NHS, or getting an NHS dentist, what about the Post Office fiasco, or the contaminated blood scandal, the WASPI women, etc,etc. The list could go on and on.
Absolutely. Seems the lessons of Wayne Couzens have been ignored, & it could so easily happen again.
It is very hard to imagine how this might have happened. In my experience, when a police officer wants to pull you over, they never, ever give up, and go away. So you would think that this would have alerted their suspicions, and they would have been concerned enough to uncover his identity. The woman recorded the registration number of his car. So establishing his identity would have been simple, and immediate. As would establishing that he was not a serving police officer. Therefore a criminal offence had occurred. What could possibly take 12 months.
I found this story shocking when I read it this morning.
I've got a lot of time for the police in what has become a very difficult job following government cuts. A friend of mine did two tours of Afghanistan and yet quit the police not long after finishing training. Largely because it wasn't the job he signed up to, including many hours handling situations that should have been covered by mental health professionals.
