Just how Kent police happened to run up a humongous six mill bill for policing the Kingsnorth Power Station, climate change demo is really a matter for the tax payer and senior police management (assuming that's the right word).
Personally I reckon the fraud squad need to take gander at this one, was it necessary for Kent police to draft in hundreds of extra coppers, to police this event, the rather heavy handed policing which looked, not unlike, the treatment giving to law abiding citizens, during the miners strike, when a conservative government rightly or wrongly decided to ignored civil liberties and the law, in order to keep the lights on.
Did Kent police have to have a helicopter, airborne for hour upon hour, placing a bliming great big police carbon boot print, in the skys above the Hoo peninsular, I reckon the operation to protect the power station was over the top and poorly judged.
Just a digression flicking through photos of this years Margate's Big Event I noticed in one of my pics the Kent Police Boat, Princess Alexandra III, parked about a half mile off the beach, presumably it wasn't there on some jolly for senior officers or anything (Still I reckon they'd of had a cracking view of the air display), one can only assume it was a mere coincidence, probably dealing with local terrorist or worse still tree huggers, not sure just why those on board were so interested in what was occurring along the cliff tops though.
The bill as I said around six mill, but that's not all, here's a quote from a spokesman "Furthermore, there are other costs to consider, such as ongoing legal costs from any litigation or claims that may take some time to reach a conclusion" lets hope those who bumped into police riot shields aren't making spurious claims, dear o dear.

On the same day the Civil Courts found the Kent Police driver entirely to blame for the death of a young mother.
ReplyDeleteOf course IPCC and Police and CPS had decided on no action for the 100 mph prang whilst his siren was switched off.
But the bereaved family won the case by civil action.

The Kent police were always refered to as the County mounties! It was derogatory, and now you can see why! A jumped up bunch of uniform wearing prats who would not cut it in london!
ReplyDeleteBoo Hoo, sorry mate, thats the job!
Been there, seen it, and did the job!
We need to remember the difficult job that the police are up against before we try to make any judgement
ReplyDeleteInteresting that those who have 'suffered'at the hands of our police are up in arms, The term collateral damage springs to mind. We ask our police to protect us, and by definition there will be some 'fall out'. With regard to Kings north, if the bill were twice as much it would have been worth it to nprotect wider society from these mueseli eating sandle wearers.
ReplyDeleteA small thero nuclear device would have been a cheaper way of sorting out the sandel wearing mueseli eaters
