Yes,  I know what you mean Ashy.

If they are not emailing us, they are phoning or texting,  and that's as well as them who knock the door telling us they just happen to be working nearby and wondered if I wanted my driveway weeds doing, or my roof tiles looked at . . . .

Whatever happened to Enna and Minnie?
And that one who wore a pinny?
Martha ran off with Ellsie's old man
Was he the one with that three wheel van?

What's wrong with telly these days
Far too much violence always
And telling us to 'make a plan'
before we all go down the pan
It was better when it was black white and greys

THEY are watching us... None of us are free .. Even if we think we are..
 
I wonder if, in the future, we will have to speak in whispers.. Or just make eye contact..
And people will disappear without a trace..
You may mock.. but the future is a scary place.. :poke:

Good idea for a film ..

Probably if it was a shortish sentence. It will be custodial though or he wouldn't have been remanded in custody.

Just to confirm, the younger man was found guilty of ABH on WPC Ward, AEW* on WPC Cook and assault on the customer in the coffee shop that started the whole affair.

Two juries have been unable to reach a verdict on the two men collectively charged with ABH on PC Marsden.

There is obviously no argument about what happened and who was present at the time etc, but there are elements in all charges that have to be proved, and clearly the crown is struggling to prove their case in the fourth charge. If there is reasonable doubt, the defendants are entitled to the benefit of that doubt.

the younger man is detained on remand pending sentencing. (I guess he'll be released on the same day)

*AEW is assault on an emergency worker, which I believe is supposed to be more important than an assault on an ordinary member of the public.

Interesting to note that both the accused men have the same name spelt (transliterated) differently.
