"He made homophobic comments that were deemed offensive to people passing by."
Quite right too. Bang him up.

What a tw@t that copper must have been - the horse was trying to keep it under wraps and now he's going to have to come out.

By gay he might of simply meant happy... A happy horse like Mr Ed when Wilbur was stroking his maine, not a horse who was into ******* or anything like that...Typical copper - saw the bad in a harmless comment

Thames Valley Police defended their decision to take the case to court.

A spokesman said: "We present the case to the CPS and the CPS make the decision to proceed or not.

"He made homophobic comments that were deemed offensive to people passing by."

Unquote


Says a lot for our bib, whatever happened to common sense??

it also says alot for how the bib see the public,

on one hand they will persue with zeal over trivial pc or trendy offences, but for others they hardly get a response.

shame the judge didnt ask the arresting officer, his superior and his superior, to come along and explain why they chose to waste time with such stupidity

will warrants now be issued for that offence??

and they wonder why confidance is at an all time low
