Gloucester Saint

How could he possibly refuse?

😉

He’s waiting for more gravy to be available first. And mushy peas. Not sure Larry the Cat and the whippets will get along but Larry is a legend.

I’d be delighted with both although not sure the Binface could be worn all of the time in Parliament. It’d be brilliant if Burnham got a question when the Binface was worn though!

Alan Partridge looks dismayed though tbf.

Fee of up to £10m though. If you think how much relative to the eras we got for Theo and Alex OC from Arsenal, it’s not that much.

It wasn’t as high profile because it didn’t have the likes of Tommy Robinson and Laurence Fox rabble rousing outside of the central police station with all of the media scrum which follows, so logically the reporting of arrests and court cases will be lower key accordingly. It can’t really compete with the seeming murder either of a former cabinet minister and national celebrity can it? The Met will throw the book at them because if you attack a copper with a bottle, that’s almost certainly HMP time.

Nope, probably second generation idiots who fancied a tear up on a hot night, and it’s no more acceptable than the Robinson idiots in Southampton.

I suspect because of how the property was accessed eg if there was evidence of a break-in or one attempted. Also, she hadn’t really been truly frontline for many years. Controversial views yes, but having had the pleasure of meeting her she came across as someone would have the discussion, listen, and not take offence if someone else’s views were different to hers. I liked her. Very different to others in that party. Therefore, added to the very remote geographic location, it’s a stretch for it to be a disaffected asylum seeker or LGBT+ extremist. Not impossible of course and that will have to be factored into the investigation. But there’s not the convenience of a MP surgery that we saw with Cox and Amess. The fact she resolutely lived alone albeit with gardeners and cleaners - because you couldn’t manage a property like that on your own in your late 70s - sadly I’ve a feeling encouraged lowlifes to see her as a target. But I may be wrong.

I was surprised that just one person was arrested, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a trade who did work on the property. Police should be looking at whether anything’s been taken from the house - I wonder if a person/persons weren’t expecting her to be in the property that day from the recces they had done.

It’d be safer than him driving.

They’re violent thugs in both instances with no justification so I don’t see why not. The Henry Nowak ‘protestors’ all had criminal records for violence as long Inspector Gadget’s arms and deserved anything they got for smashing up the city of my birth. Scum. If last night bottles and objects were thrown at the police because they lost a football match then throw the book at them too and quickly. Copper don’t tend to like people who assault coppers from any background.

I was one of them a few years ago. But to get up there from where the suspect’s from and been arrested, from Bovey Tracey and Parke the NT property, once you go past Parke and fork left towards Haytor, that road has high hedges, is narrow to begin with and nowhere to walk. A very fit person could cycle it and he’s only 26 they guy they’ve arrested, but it would be hard going and you couldn’t carry anything. The house is not too far from the car park at Haytor or they’ve parked on a country road near the property and you could be secluded doing so. We’ve walked all around there having lived in that area for more than a decade. Such a beautiful place for such a horrible act.

Police will be all over his social media and devices. Around there it is an especially elderly and affluent population in places so I wouldn’t rule out an economic motive either. Not that it would ever justify it - horrendous. Or could be an MH case with the level of seeming violence.

26 years old bloke living in Newton Abbot, the nearest town or significant conurbation. Not thought to be political or terror motive. You’re around 1500ft above sea level so he probably had a car/motorbike to get up there. Not clear whether he knew her or not yet.
