Loved every single 30 years pal, no regrets, not a soft arse and had more balls than some of the male 6ft cowards I worked with. At least I did 30 enjoyable years and I’m not bitter - enjoy your day 👮😘👮😘

Rape apologists being more angry about being called a rape apologist than they are about actual rape, is peak rape apologist.

That’s a big healthy baby for six weeks prem
I gave birth on a plane at 35,000 feet, and a stranger helped deliver my baby — but as we prepared to land, the captain announced, "There's something important the mother needs to know before we open the doors." I still can't believe I'm writing this, but I need to share what happened because the whole thing feels unreal. When I was 34 weeks pregnant, my dad had a massive heart attack. The doctors weren't sure he'd make it, and I was an absolute wreck. I knew stress was the last thing I needed that far into my pregnancy, but there was no way I could just sit at home. I'd never forgive myself if something happened to Dad and I didn't get to see him. So my husband and I flew out to be with him. Thank God, he pulled through! After a few days, we were finally heading home, where I planned to rest and get ready for the baby. My doctor had cleared me to fly, and my pregnancy had been going smoothly, so I figured we'd be fine. Boy, was I wrong. About an hour into our flight, I started feeling sick. Then came the contractions, and they were getting stronger fast. My husband called a flight attendant, who immediately asked over the intercom if there were any medical professionals on board. A man named Ramon, who was a paramedic, came over to help. So imagine my reaction when he said, "Ma'am, I think you're in labor." What?! I still had six weeks to go! The pilots arranged an emergency landing, but apparently, my daughter had other plans. Everything after that was a blur. Ramon helped deliver the baby while my husband held my hand, looking like he might pass out himself. And just like that, our little girl was born at 35,000 feet. For the next little while, all I could think about was getting us safely to the hospital. Then, as we were getting ready to land, the captain came over the speakers. At first, it sounded like a routine landing announcement. But then he said something that immediately made me nervous. "Ladies and gentlemen, there's something important the mother needs to know before we open the doors."

Do better Tony love, police are allowed to wear poppies, and shock horror here is me on my last shift of 30 thirty years wearing my thin blue line poppy patch. You may have missed the memo about poppies in your brief service.

The police are allowed to wear poppies and all the twisting you want won’t alter that
Only one cop wearing a poppy..... not a woke issue you see.

#PayAndMorale Survey: 36% of Lancashire Police officers have worked during annual leave to catch up, 29% have had at least one free day cancelled in the past 12 months and 28% have had their roster changed more than 10 times in the past 12 months.

With attitudes like that, it’s clear that he’s never been fit to be a police officer.

The amount of accounts, both male and female that are saying, 'I'm not excusing anything he did but' 😒 What the heck is wrong with folk, some are even monetising off of the back of the creature😒

He’s ‘not excusing anybody’, but……..sums up his and many (too many) others positions. Apparently because its a decade ago, it was ok… Would he say the same if a victim was his daughter? He is an ex police officer, never a supervisor, never a detective, FLO, RASSO Investigator.

If this had been a police officer there would’ve been uproar on here
A paedophile maths teacher who posed as a teenage boy to groom and rape schoolgirls across Britain has been handed a combined 25-year custodial sentence after a campaign of sexual abuse against 18 vulnerable teenagers.  Syed Shahreear Ahmed, 37, spent four years using fake social media profiles and heavily doctored photographs to convince girls as young as 13 that he was a 17-year-old boy called 'Miles', before luring them into meeting him with promises of gifts, money and romantic relationships. But behind the carefully constructed online persona was a secondary school teacher who secretly travelled across the country to prey on vulnerable children, sometimes arranging to meet multiple girls on the same day. At Southwark Crown Court yesterday, Judge Perrins imposed a further ten-year custodial term, to run consecutively to the 15 years Ahmed was already serving, bringing his total custodial sentence to 25 years, with an additional eight years on licence. The judge ruled that Ahmed remained a danger to the public and revealed that, had all his offences been sentenced together, he would have had little hesitation in imposing a life sentence. He described the offending as a 'sustained and calculated campaign to groom and sexually abuse as many young girls as you possibly could'.

This is an ex police officer ( thank God)
I'm not excusing anybody, whats wrong is wrong but reading this #RussellBrand stuff I ask you this question. Can everyone else remember every tiny sexual detail of every encounter they ever had from 20+ years ago especially if lots of drink was involved? My wife met Russell Brand once, I said to her jokingly last night "He didn't r@pe you did he?" she joked back (I hope) he wouldn't of had to.....

I don't want to shame any particular woman here, but publicly announcing that the #RussellBrand conviction must be wrong because you went home with him and he didn't rape you makes about as much sense as saying 'well, I left 25 Cromwell Street alive, so Fred West's innocent.'

Very true, we are all untitled to our opinions but important to be humble and accept times change, nothing ever really stays the same.

You are picking the wrong men
Replying to @Mudkipstoat23
Hmmmm. I've had men do this but I had no idea it was rape. I put it down to the heat of the moment and normal. I'm not sure I'd go to the police for that.
