A waste of police time and resources?

you'd just tell him it was a reality show, shoota

It's PG gone mad. That is brilliant. Love it.

It says more about the people who perceive this to be racist than it does about Danny Baker. I don't think DB is racist, but it was a stupid thing to do; he should have had the foresight to realise the would be grist to the mouth-frothers mill.

jno
you obviously don't go to enough football matches, Prudie. Bananas are handed out at the gate, and Danny Baker slipped on the skin of one of them.



Are you a race-baiter, jno?

You sound like one.

[shoota]

Probably *** at tweet-time.
Booze and soc-med don't mix.
(Was going to put SM but thought that might be too exciting for the readers....)

It was such a strange thing to do....and his behaviour afterwards....that I seriously wonder if he has had some kind of brain issue or trauma resulting in disinhibition?

Well I won't be happy until he's been dragged through the streets in rags, his house demolished, assets confiscated and he's living under a bridge with John Virgo, surviving on a diet of free burgers, supplied by Tommy Robinson.

One may also say "why aren't the idiots who throw milkshakes over Tommy Robinson questioned"

If an allegation is made then the police must investigate it.If you want to complain about wastage of police time then blame the person
who made the allegation.

ANOTHEOLDGIT, regarding the milkshake incident, '"Officers are aware of a number of assaults which are believed to have taken place in the Bridge Street area between 3pm and 6pm on Thursday,” a spokesperson for Cheshire Constabulary said. "No arrests have been made and enquiries are ongoing.”'

[Prudie]

Danny you quote that like you quote the AB rules but are you sure about that? An example just from today

Prudie, what I said was what should happen.There will always be some who fail to follow procedure.

[-Talbot-]

Once again TCL enters the thread and ignores the OP.
Would you have even bothered to comment at all if AOG hadn't commented, TCL?

[THECORBYLOON]

TALBOT, if a complaint has been made to the police I would expect it to be investigated. Whether the investigation takes thirty minutes or six months is another matter.

If that's true and I'll take your word for it it is. It's ridiculous.

//If an allegation is made then the police must investigate it//

Really, they investigate every allegation? Surely they make a judgement call (that takes about 3 seconds) on many allegations?

And why specialist officers? ruddy ridiculous, get out on the beat and arrest some muggers or whatever.

[dannyk13]

Spicerack, An investigation can take as little as 5 minutes if the case is not worth pursuing but it should be recorded.

That would still be an investigation.See my post at 13.16.

[anotheoldgit]

Did anyone else notice that when the BBC TV news reported this case, they censored the photograph so that it did not include the Chimp.

How would the less informed know what all the fuss was about?

[youngmafbog]

I see Danny, personally I wouldn't call that an investigation.

And why would it take a specialist officer to make such an obvious call then?
