This is frightening, no matter how tough you are.

This is the video that will make most parents squirm. 

It's what happened when a man (vetted and given the job) tried to entice single boys and girls out of a Park or Swing area away from their parents. If you didn't see it earlier today on the News, take note and pass it on to all parents and other folk with responsibility over kids.

Is there any need for these long quotes when the posts concerned are only just above?

Yes, because other people might post inbetween a post and because your posts are generally long covering  several points...

I was using the word 'transgressions' in quotes to cover the generics...

I've said all I have to say on it now, as it seems to be going around in circles.

Yes, like the Heeby-Geeby bird, flew round in ever decreasing circles until it disappeared up it's own........

The alleged "transgressions" have not been dealt with because 8 people are still on bail. They're not alleged "transgressions", they're alleged offences = alleged Misconduct in a Public Office for a start.

It’s about time the police APOLOGISED to Andrew Mitchell for being sworn at by him after he lost his temper with them.Yes, I know that swearing at a police officer is a STATUTORY offence

But there are CLEAR EXEMPTIONS to this law listed under the Public Order Act itself:

This offence has the following four statutory defences:

(1) The defendant had no reason to believe that there was any person within hearing or sight who was likely to be alarmed or distressed by his action.   (2) The defendant was in a dwelling and had no reason to believe that his behaviour would be seen or heard by any person outside any dwelling.   (3) The conduct was reasonable . (4) The defendant is a senior member of the government who was wearing bicycle clips at the time of the alleged offence.  

As anyone can see – THE POLICE NEED TO OFFER AN UNEQUIVOCAL APOLOGY TO MR MITCHELL IMMEDIATELY.
