....so who's going to trawl Twitface in case someone uses an unapproved term?

[roadman]

what does this mean that they previously did not investigate

[davebro]

maybe there's a BOT that can do that.

roadman: "what does this mean that they previously did not investigate " - well the only way to get plod to attend a burglary currently is to tell them you've just kicked the sheet out of the burglar. Then they'll come round to arrest the householder.

Apocryphal tales for Tuesday.

Good, hope they cut all their nonsense out.
2 out of 3 Met Police didn't make a single arrest last year.

Greater Manchester Police managed to lose 80,000 burglaries.

They attend your burglary, give you a crime number, then you never hear from them again.

We lost 20,000 Police in 2010, and they gave up. The Tories have promise to restore that number before the end of this parliament, but they are still 10,000 short.

"...who's going to trawl Twitter... "

I'm sure there's more than one search engine with that capability.

They're just not fit for purpose. The whole system needs root and branch reform.
