  • I would be most grateful if you to point out to me and other contributors - either here or elsewhere on this site - my alleged statements about not helping refugees. Could it be that you simply like to place words or sentiments into other peoples mo…

  • I've no intention of not keeping it friendly - No I won't be ordered to read the post, as I said prevously, if all Muslims were terrorists then we would have all found out if the afterlife actually exists. Sadly some people cannot differentiate when…

  • If I can expand a little, the next time you are travelling by car and hear an emergency vehicle siren, you'll notice that without visual reference (the flashing lights) it is difficult to determine where said vehicle is in relation to you. You will …

  • No one is generalising Muslims. FFS if all Muslims were terrorists then we would have all gone up in smoke a long time ago! This is the sort of liberalist claptrap behind which the terrorists hide behind. (No I haven't clicked on the link) People wh…

  • I'll knock nothing off. Who said my solution was simple? Yours however - to simply bury your head in the sand - is the simplest yet most devastating of all.

  • The lights thing. It would have been SOP to use some form of visual warning when engaged in a pursuit. The siren alone would not have been enough to provide other road users/pedestrians with adequate warning. To hear a siren but not allow people to …

  • @barryt007 & @Creasy47 thank you for your sentiments. I don't know the person involved. As far as I'm aware he had taken his daughter to the concert. I'm not sure if she was with him at the time of the blast. Without encroaching on this most sen…

  • But you are still missing the point - yes arrest but not detain under the provisions in which I lay out. Sadly the only person who 'mislays evidence' in this instance is your good self. Please note also that I am not taking the easy route out, by…

  • I've been involved in a car chase or two at that period in time (the 1970's - doing the chasing I may add!) and it just doesn't add up to me.

  • I don't think I've seen any Sweeney cars on the show with 'wig-wag' lights. Head/spotlamps are again inadequate. As far as I recall, hidden grill lights would not have been in use in those days.

  • I just got news from my sister that a friend of hers, who had taken his daughter to the concert, was caught up in the blast and is in hospital. She doesn't know any further details as to the severity of his injuries at this time.

  • The lights/siren is an audible and visual aid for other road users and pedestrians. The siren on its own would not be enough to give adequate warning of the approach of a speeding vehicle. Although a light could be used on its own in some circumstan…

  • As far as I'm aware, all unmarked (CID) vehicles were always equipped with blue lights which could be attached, by way of a magnet, to the roof when needed. I'm guessing this would have been the same for the FS.

  • A controversial opinion I know, but my opinion nonetheless. As far as I'm concerned, those who seek, for whatever reason, to protect these assorted vermin - vermin whose only objective is to kill and maim - are just as culpable for these atrocities …

  • @tanaka123 . Please look at my last post. I posted before seeing your last comment. Of course you have no need to explain if you don't wish to, but it does put you on the back foot somewhat. I'd would have just liked to know what you disagreed with,…

  • Just one small point about the TV programme. The overlaying of sound effects is obvious in certain circumstances. Take note when watching the car chase scenes, whenever a FS vehicle passes the camera with its siren on, there is no Doppler effect. I …

  • It may be wise to remember that the police were quite openly racist in those days. I remember a black officer being called (among other things - and definitely not by me) 'Midnight'. Also, policing and the response to the type of behaviour one sees…
