Before I post Part 2 of the Need for Justice...
After reading through the comments decrying the behaviour of Dan Winkledick and his little pleb Pindick Foreskin, I came across the following introduction in the Crime Central section of The Times. This was posted on May the 28th, (just a couple of weeks before their notorious 'scoop' ) and preceded their list of worthwhile posts made by notable police bloggers (not me though, I'm thankfully insignificant).
'A quick whizz around the wonderful world of police and law 'n' order blogs - invaluable in these days of spin and news management for finding out what real coppers (and others in criminal justice) really think.'
The duplicity and hypocrisy of it. Contrary to their claims, they evidently do consider police bloggers to be a 'source' of information for 'finding out what real coppers really think'. That must be why the twats closed Nightjack and exposed the officer's identity then.
At this point, I would like to point out that 'The Thinking Policeman: An Officer's Blog' is protected by copyright and the content therein the intellectual property of Inspector Leviathan Hobbes. None of it is to be used without my express permission, although anyone can use any of it for any purpose whatsoever, but never, ever, is the Times allowed to do so. If they do, please let me know so I can sue them.
If I can be bothered.
Which I probably won't be.
I promise I won't reveal my source and your anonymity will be guaranteed, because unlike Winkledick and Foreskin, I've better things to do.

ReplyDeleteWhat a bloody cheek they have. More faces than the town hall clock.
ReplyDeleteMr Hobbes, there is no contradiction, no hypocrisy. They are reporters, simply doing whatever is expedient today to get through the day. One step at a time. They will have forgotten about the police blogs by Monday morning.
ReplyDeleteBE - Dan Winkledick might not forget me. Not after the e-mail I sent him last night after consuming a crate of beer, four pizzas, and a packet of nuts. I think I may have swore at him. Is that bad?
ReplyDeleteOH - a comedy moustache and a fake big nose should hide my identity.
ReplyDeleteMr H - No, not bad at all. Saying what you think is about the most important freedom of all. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to drop you a line and say I'm off. Take care boss.
ReplyDeleteThe Devil's Kitchen has done a pretty good post on this, if you haven't read it already.
ReplyDeleteDanny "The Fink" Finkelstein: "In fact, I have to confess to surprise at the attitude of some other bloggers. Most of the time, we promote the fearless revelation of truth and expose hypocrisy."
Good grief!!
Don't do it Fuzz! Don't let them beat you - us! Everyone...
ReplyDeleteThis could signal the rise of the surrogate police blogger. I'm sure there's womb out there for this service for those serving police bloggers, or Pologgers, living in fear of having the paper bags whipped off their heads by a journo' desparate for a by-line. Ooo - er, am I becoming a subversive? At this rate good old HM Gov PLC will have created millions of one-man Leviathans - just a mo`, I think they've been doing that for years. And just as an afterthought, does this `judgement` signal the end of employers that have confidential `whistleblowing` policies?
ReplyDeleteHog Day, I don't see the difference between what we say and what the Police Federation says, do you? If anything, they say far more harsh words than we do. There's only two differences why the establishment and media never go after them; firstly, they are public about their identities and could never be disciplined for saying what they say in a public arena and secondly, the establishment knows that far more people read what we write over what the Federation writes.
