Last week, Alfie, a tiny, 10-year-old Yorkshire terrier, was cruelly ripped from his elderly owner, 73 year-old, Mrs Claudia Settimo-Bovio, who lives in Kingston, South West London. The Met Police have vindictively claimed, that this small and gentle dog, owned by Mrs Settimo-Bovio since he was a tiny puppy, had chased a large delivery man at the front door, causing him to 'trip'. Oddly, the delivery man, claimed that Alfie, had tried to "kill" him, when all the friendly little dog was trying to do was play. Shockingly, the Met police, raided Alfie's home, last Friday, with full force. Scotland Yard, sent 7 burly policemen, several armed-response officers, 5 police cars and 3 police vans to peace-loving Alfie's address. Alfie was "arrested" by the Met police, who are now holding at a secret address. Alfie's owner, has been traumatized by the experience. All she wants is her doggy companion back. Alfie has never hurt anyone in his whole life. All Alfie's neighbours want him back home immediately. He is seen as the communities and is well-loved by everyone. Send Alfie back home. It is important that Alfie the dog, is returned to his owner as soon as possible, because, he and Mrs Settimo-Bovio have never been parted before in their lives. By all accounts, Alfie is a darling dog, who wouldn't hurt a fly. I am a dog lover and so is Britain. This could happen to anyone who owns a beloved pet. The public insist that the Met police, send Alfie back to his human mother for both their well-being. Alfie needs to be returned to his loving family now, and not in a month's time when there will be irreparable damage to his psyche.

The people that are buying or selling the animals are not vetted in any way and these sites like sphock have no way of making sure the animals are going to a safe loving homes. Who knows where these animals are ending up they are sold very cheaply or just given away for nothing. With the worries of dog fighting and baiting and even over breeding these loving animals which could go to anyone from the average Joe to these sickening puppy farms with no background checks at all. This is supposed to be a boot market site not an animal adoption site, this is why we have rescue centres or actual sites that are designed for your pet to find a good safe loving home, not some site where you can buy a used tyre from.

Three South Yorkshire police officers would have faced gross misconduct cases but had since retired after 30 years’ service. In January 2015, the Government promised that new regulations would prevent police officers retiring or resigning to avoid dismissal. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-regulations-prevent-police-officers-retiring-or-resigning-to-avoid-dismissal This was in response to public pressure after the public were told that no police officers can be disciplined over complaints relating to the Hillsborough disaster. They had been allowed to retire out of accountability. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/13/hillsborough-police-officers-cant-be-disciplined-as-all-have-retired Yet in August 2017, the Independent Police Complaints Comission said that South Yorkshire Police inaction over Ian Watkins left a child at risk of further sexual abuse for several months. (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/aug/18/ipcc-police-ian-watkins-child-risk-abuse-south-yorkshire) I would like to invite fellow citizens to insist that the commitment of 2015 is upheld. Police officers and MPs work for us, the people. They are entrusted with great power, and with it comes responsibility. It is simply not acceptable that the Government breaks the promise of 2015 and enables a culture of incompetence and collusion with criminals to continue.

Money Held and not used for the purpose it was Donated is Theft

We believe that the alternative location at Sidcup will restrict the majority of Bexley resident’s access to police services. Not all residents have access to internet facilities nor do they have their own transport to travel to Sidcup. Both of these points are particularly relevant to Bexley’s older and more vulnerable residents. Bexleyheath police station is central to the entire borough with superb public transport links to all locations. Travelling to Sidcup by public transport is challenging. There is a very limited bus service to Marlowe House and parking facilities are both limited and costly. The proposed new location would therefore make using the front office extremely difficult, especially for people living in the north of the borough. Neighbourhood policing – a strategic priority for the London Mayor – would also be adversely affected. SNT officers will be spending more time travelling from this Sidcup location to their wards thereby limiting their time engaging with ward residents when on duty.

Please take your time and read this all my own research here all to do with the British legal system how it clearly fails ex prisoners like myself 😯. In Britain there are 82,056 prisoners and a total off 59% off them will re offend in the first 12 months😢. There is a total off 150 active prisons in Britain today😮. The government are complaining about the over crowding off them now 9% off these prisoners are in for petty crime shop lifting breach of the peace ect😔 yet there are supposed to be other ways to deal with this community pay back order and so on but these people are receiving custodial sentences what then leads them to be institutionalised that leads to them again re offending🙇. There are no support networks in place to help people in Britain with this that's where re offending comes in to play. You can get help with offending behaviour from sacro if your under the age off 18 only (5%) but if your over the age off reabilitaition the governments own words you don't get the proper support😒. Now what am getting at is that the only way off bringing down the population in prison is to put positive appropriate sensible measures in place and that's having a support network in place 24 hours a day 7 days a week instead off using all the government funds on idiotic projects🙊 a tried my best to get this to make sense for you guys to see what am getting at here so a hope you get my point🙏

It seems ludicrous that Westminster is considering devolving policing to Greater Manchester, a region of England, yet completely brush the issue to the side when it comes to Wales. Scotland too has their own criminal justice system, so how does it make any logical sense not to devolve this area of government to Wales?

Knives handed in under the Amnesty form this monument to the victims and is a British work of art. We need to show this monument and tribute to the world.

These bodies bring in the best legal representation, often paid for by the public purse. In most cases relatives are left to fend for themselves at a time when they are still grieving for their loved ones. Relatives usually have limited means and little knowledge of legal procedures and will find the inquest intimidating and confusing. Most people will be shocked to find, as I did, that although you wish to represent your loved one you have no disclosure rights, requests to the court are often either ignored or misinterpreted. Without legal representation an expert witnesses will not take instructions to provide expert opinions and analysis to support the family’s case. Many relatives like me are struggling to understand a death which could have been avoided at the same time they are trying to come to terms with a recent bereavement. They are unaware of the types of inquest available such as the standard UK inquest or the more in depth and investigative EU Article 2 Inquest. Coroners, although supposedly independent, are often familiar with the other party’s legal representatives and in some cases have worked in the same legal practice. In some cases the coroner works with the state to secure a quick verdict leaving the relatives facing decades of work to secure the truth. We live in a society where criminals have more rights than victims or their families and I believe this injustice needs reversing. Legal Aid funding should be extended to serve bereaved families who deserve to know the truth about how their relative died. http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/grieving-widower-howard-denby-tried-13265128 http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/calls-inquiry-call-over-suicide-6926557 http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/carol-denby-killed-herself-after-6981544 http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/fathers-despair-delays-cps-review-9682318 http://www.itv.com/news/wales/2013-01-14/robbie-powell-death-report-redactions-uncovered-by-wales-this-week/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4393976/Asthma-girl-s-parents-call-unlawful-death-ruling.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4393976/Asthma-girl-s-parents-call-unlawful-death-ruling.html This is important because for the relatives they need closure and only the truth will give them this and for society in general we have seen too many cover up's and as a consequence many more innocent people have suffered when the truth has been hidden. The loss of Legal Aid has disadvantaged the majority with justice and truth only available to those who can afford to buy their version of it.

An independent inquiry is needed because the people of the town and the victims feel that they have been let down. It is clear from evidence supplied that people at the top in the police and council were aware of the situation and neglected to act. These people have either been allowed to resign with pension rights or else carry on in their jobs. We need a full and transparent inquiry into who failed these girls.

National governments hold the responsibility to introduce and implement law and policies to protect our fundamental human rights in a cosmopolitan city like London. One of the reasons that acid attacks occur is due to cheap and easy availability of acid in the UK. The state has a due diligence obligation to prevent acid violence on our streets by enforcing tighter regulation of acid sales as well as enacting criminal laws to punish perpetrators. Prevention should start at schools by educating and working with youth to promote respectful relationships and gender equality. Research helps us to understand the causes and effects of acid violence to identify practical and feasible solutions to prevent such attacks whilst taking account of the impact this has on our trade and economy as a whole. We are asking for change in policies and laws that strike a fair and reasonable balance to protect the public whilst being considerate of the rights and duties of our traders, but ultimately our core aim is to punish the perpetrators of this callous act and promote a zero tolerance policy.

for knife collectors and sword enthusiasts, as well as store owners, it will completely negate are ability to do what we love and own swords, almost all swords are bought online, rarely do you ever see a shop. The law was put in place to prevent knife crime however, knife crime is not stopped by the selling of knives, anyone can obtain a knife regardless of this law, knife crime is stopped by better educating people why its wrong and the consequences behind it. All this law is doing is destroying the historical and modern sword smithing industry for no reason, apart from the government making it appear as if they are doing something to reduce knife crime, when in actual fact, it isn't going to effect the rates at all.
