A very concerning report. We need to start referring to the "Police Service", not the "Police Force"! They are there to provide a service to the general public and that basic principle needs to be instilled!

The Court of Appeal taking a very sensible approach to a difficult case.

"Had Mrs Ward not died, we regard it as inconceivable that the appellant would ever have been charged with assault in circumstances where it could not be established that she had made any physical contact with the cyclist.

Auriol Grey, 50, had her conviction overturned at the Court of Appeal on Wednesday.

Government's record on administration of justice receives another severe rebuke - this time from an unexpected quarter.
