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.
