Community Support Officers

I had mislaid the keys to my motorcycle, so a few days ago, a friend and I put the bike into the back of his van to take to the workshop.

I closed the doors and turned to meet the 'allo allo allo' eyes of a young,female Community Support Officer.

She asked for an explanation and radioed in our details.
All in all, it took about 30 minutes and we were on our way again.

As I was handed my copy of the 'stops and searches' form, the officer apologised for delaying us.
I thanked HER in response.
She just looked at me, strangely.

Ive had 7 bikes stolen in the past.
Most of them I have got back myself.
The Police have been little or no help at all.

This time a female, working on her own, challenged two 'mature' men,
acting 'suspiciously'.
Credit to her.

If only all Community Support Officers were as vigilante as this one.

The Third Anniversay of Siabreen's Death.

Yesterday was the third anniversary of my ex partners death.

It was the first time that I felt neither pain nor anger at her passing.

My thoughts were for my daughter, Grace.

Both parents taken from her by the stupid, selfish actions of Professor Adam Fairclough of Leiden University and his sister, Alison Gelfand, of Merrick, New York.

Not forgetting the crazy, corrupt legal system that allows such betrayal of a young child.
