Ha Ha, Only in the UK :-)

You couldn't make this up, But to all of you that don't live in the UK, You'll be quite suprised at some of the Barmy goings on.

Its almost an embarassment, to all decent Hard working brits

So heres a nice selection of news direct from Loopy UK

Policeman sent on anger management course for swearing at knife-wielding thug who threatened to kill officer

A man who threatened to stab four police officers in the heart and held a two-hour stand-off is launching legal action because a police sergeant swore at him.

The sergeant has been sent to a Management Advice course and Northumbria Police face the threat of a civil action from the 35-year-old thug, who had to be subdued with a Taser gun.

When officers arrived at Glen Francis' home to arrest his girlfriend, he erupted in rage and targeted a female officer who was standing guard in his hallway.

He hurled a bowl of pasta at her before officers claim he held her captive in his house and threatened to shoot her with a handgun he hid in a cupboard.
She escaped, but when back-up arrived, Francis lunged at the officers with a six-inch knife, before the 35-year-old was shot twice with a Taser gun.

But he simply pulled the metal barbs from his skin and continued his savage attack.

Then he barricaded himself into a room at the address in Ambassador's Way, North Shields, where he used a hammer to smash the walls, and screamed: 'The first copper in here is getting f****** killed, come on, I only want one of you.'

After a two-hour stand-off with trained negotiators, armed officers stormed his kitchen and Tasered him a further three times before he was eventually arrested and taken into custody.

Francis claimed he was stripped of his clothes and handcuffed on a cell floor.
Those allegations have been thrown-out following an investigation by the Northumbria Police Professional Standards Department (PSD).

But they substantiated his claim a Sergeant was guilty of misconduct because he swore at Francis, and he was ordered to undergo a Management Advice course. :erm:

Francis, now of Wallsend, North Tyneside, said he was discussing legal action with his solicitor and planned to lodge a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights.

He said: 'I was a toe-rag when I was younger, but I'm trying to go straight.
'I'm really scared of the police now - I'm like a bag of nerves. :erm:

'I want to take legal action because they just get a telling off for what they did.
'It was an insult when I heard how the officer who swore at me got off - it upset me to hear someone say that.

During a trial at Newcastle Crown Court in September he was found guilty of affray and received a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years. (Which means he didn't even go to prison )

A Northumbria Police spokesman said: 'Francis was convicted of affray in court. If any civil action is received it will be considered in the usual manner.' Simon Reed, of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said the case 'typifies the bureaucratic nonsense police officers have to contend with.'

The bad thing about this even though it appears like a script from the keystone Cops, Is that crap like this happens daily in the UK, with Violent thugs like this idiot citing the Human Rights Act to get compensation.

The quicker we do away with this pathectic Act, the better.

More Crazy headlines Tommorrow :up:

Or in our case a spineless government. I think the only real way to get Rich , nowdays in the UK is to make a claim citing the Human Rights Act, Imigrants, Terrorists, Criminals are making ?????'s with feeble complaints and they're getting paid big bucks.

I wonder if there's an opportunity for decent law abiding folk to get some of this windfall

Things not to do if your a true citizen of the united kingdom and you could be the next millionaire. And not be the hundreds of thousands being screwed by the system(s)

• Fight for your country
• grow old
• be one of the unlucky ones to be born from the united kingdom
• work hard all your life
• Become ill and rely on the nhs after putting years to the national contributions fund
• Become a law abiding citizen
• Help the muffin lady across the road.

As a rule, I don't like the police system here in the uk. They seem to spend their time on trying to pursue minor offences. Give it ten years or so when the immigrants have settled nicely into the communities when they gain a little more voice (when they learn our native language) and we'll start seeing them in government, police system and other key areas which will allow them to give them their own slice of their country they fled from.

So we can expect the 25% of laws we do control to be cut down drastically that will push the british person to the ground.

Seems to be the same 3 people in here who are voicing their concerns. I vow to try not to respond to a united kingdom related thread. Have we not got a bawling emotion?

What I don't understand about the guy with the knife is why they didn't go all guns blazing and shoot him. when a suspected gun man thought to be carrying a gun in the london underground he was shot dead without mercy and was found not to be carrying a gun at all.

I agree with all of your opinions, this country is screwed and the sooner the great BRITISH public realise that the better!

[Marco van Herwaarden]

What worries me most is that people already have their opinion ready, based on a story in a newspaper that simply does not have enough information to base an opinion on.

Does anyone even know what this policeman has said?

[Shelley_c]

People have their opinion already paved out because they live through it daily. Actually, a little like you have yours and not being a resident of the united kingdom I don't think you can lessen anyones concerns anymore than your own marco.

Have you actually been a victim of knife crime yourself? Because most people still live in a dream world that the worst thing that ever happened to them was a paper cut.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

My remark is not related to living anywhere specific in the world or having been victim to anything. My remark is aimed at those who have their opinion (on any subject) ready after reading a biased and incomplete story in a newspaper or TV.

I see the same happening in my own country. Today a newspaper will have scoop, the same day questions are asked in parlement, only to discover the next day that it was nothing but a hoax.

Why don't we just read the available information and use our own brains to come to a conclusion based on the real info available, instead of just following a screaming headline.

[Shelley_c]

I don't take notice of the newspapers, I do read and see an element of truth otherwise it wouldn't have been published. I know how the system works, and I know how silly situations can be taken to an extreme level with the guilty being slapped on the wrists and the person who risks his life is punished. Doesn't matter what the policeman said, If someone is threatening or even carrying a knife they should be treated the way they treat other people with no contempt. That's not the case though, we can see this guy getting a slap on the wrists whilst the officer in question is punished, probably leading to his job being in jeopardy and name being dragged in the dirt.

With regards to this thread, like any other it will evolve into the many other systems that has gone to the dogs.

I say it as we live it and from experience. You can believe anything that sounds ridiculous because the way the police system works.

Here's how stupid the system is. A postman drops a letter and a neighbour picks it up and a week later bragging how the police went to the guys door and fined him 80 pounds for littering. So, reality is anything is possible. The way the UK is going I'd believe that the UK will become a 3rd world country within the next 20 years, debt growing, criminals abusing the human right act and immigration rising that the country will not sustain this abusement much longer.

It's why I say on a daily basis look at the bigger picture and look into all aspects of why something such as this can be believed and how the system allows the guilty to become untouchable and the innocent to be dragged down to the ground.

I think that will be my last comment in this thread because it looks like I actually care which I don't. Nothing we can do or change circumstances that seem to be paved out for people.

all the problems in the UK are not down to immigrants - thats a fact.
Our own people are running amok and using our own laws against us.
We need to change the role of prisons as they currently stand and make the punishment worse than doing the crime.
Im all for bringing back capital punishment esp for some of the animals we seem to be breeding these days.
And im also for getting the UK out of the EU.

Also marco - regardless of what the copper said to him - does it warrant the policeman going on an anger course while the prisoner gets compensation because that is what is going to happen.The police should of gone in there heavy handed and smacked his head of his shoulders and then dragged him though the streets to show everyone else what a true tosser looks like.
