Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Come off it Stan I bet less than half of those involved had ever even spoken to the guy let alone be classed as his friends.

This leads to our final historical lesson: justice is an outcome that legal systems cannot guarantee. Nawaz began his radio monologue on the Rashan Charles disturbances, and Simon Laurence concluded his statement, by highlighting the importance of an independent investigation into the circumstances leading to the death of Rashan Charles. But history makes it very hard to remain optimistic about the prospect of justice ensuing from this approach. No police officer has ever been convicted for any one of the more than 1,500 deaths either in custody or following police contact since 1990.

Dear Dear Stan is cutting and pasting .

Even in the few instances when the killings were held to have been unlawful. It feels like no amount of evidence or lack thereof could alter this outcome.

No police officer has ever been convicted for any one of the more than 1,500 deaths either in custody or following police contact since 1990.
Just shows what a fine police force we have. You clearly have no idea Stan how rigorous the custodial process is. If someone kicks off, reasonable force is warranted. So happens that some of the louts apprehended just don't know when to stop. 1500 in nearly 30 years in not bad at all given the types the police normally have "contact" with. Try it for a month and see what your attitude is then. I'm sure Burnley have space for special constables although Burnley doesn't compare with certain boroughs of London.

The fact that there is video footage in the case of Rashan Charles may make some people a little more hopeful that any inquiry will be objective and that justice will be done. But given the history of police conduct, can you blame people for doubting that the outcome will be any different this time? I can’t.

stan - whatever the merits or otherwise of your postings this morning, i fail to see any reason why you or anyone else should support the ensuing violence

i suspect, but do not know, that it looked well orchestrated

Stan loves it ,he's one of them a hooligan , probably would want to watch from behind the curtains though .

Thank you for your time Right wing reprobates in establishing some of your more defective opinions, I will take my leave of you now.

without answering the questions raised of course

Stan never answers the questions.

Most of it was cut and paste , he doesn't really have an opinion plus Fred's not here to back him up so he ran out of ideas :)

The High Court has blocked a bid by an Iraqi general to bring a private prosecution against Tony Blair over the Iraq War.

General Abdul Wahed Shannan Al Rabbat has accused Mr Blair of committing a "crime of aggression" by supporting the US-led Iraq invastion in 2003 when he was prime minister.

What is it about July and your anti-police rants Stanley? I seem to recall last July you were ranting on about a dog run down by a police patrol vehicle. :0)

The persistent corruption within certain areas of the PF has been evident for years now and the usual suspects know this to well.

Tanks running out of steam these days by the looks, not a bad thing really.

Don't stand back Stan, please enlighten us. Who are these 'usual suspects'. Or is it a case of "All Coppers Are Bastards" all ears.

CC you have intelligence please use it.

Good answer Stan (not). You make the allegations give us the facts. No peeking at the Guardian now, were waiting.
