You can always trust the police…to sell any data they may gather. Moscow Times story about what you can buy in the Savlyovsky market. Where’s Justice Eady when you need him?

Seems reasonable to me…It is with a meal, after all! This is the sort of story that the world can get really worked up about. You cant drive on a drink in most of Europe, but you can wield a baton!

Unbelievably, in the UK, paramilitary lunatics also support football and send bombs in the post to prominent people in their least favourite team. A form of terrorism not often studied…

2009-10…92,000 stopped under terrorism powers, only two people arrested. No wonder the European Court of Human Rights stopped the nonsense

High Court fires shot across police bows…Oi Ploddie!…Noooooo! Wont stop ’em though. No-one seems to understand that there is something wrong in a country where the police ignore the courts….Could it be cos the media pay the plods? See previous post.

The Metropolitan police have finally noticed what Rebekkah Brooks said to M.P.s in 2003. Chris Bryant, the MP at the centre of the questions asked, strangely had his leg broken in a charity rugby match at Twickenham this weekend…and was sent home without it being put in plaster by the Twickenham medical staff. Odd that….http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-13161075

Anyone at the Cambridge Symposium last year will remember my attempts to teach the Manhattan D.A.s office about cricket in order to introduce them to financial crime in sport. Here’s more about betting and corruption.

Seizure of ‘Ndragheta assets in Calabria, including two football teams.

Rare insight into relationships between paramilitaries and organised crime. Feud between “Real IRA” and organised crime groups in Dublin. RIRA after control of club door security in order to control drug sales. Somebody must be researching this and writing it up over in Ireland. Classic behaviour.
