After the disgraceful behaviour of H&IWC in Southampton on 3 December 2025, to read “Crime Scene Investigators have worked to gather evidence throughout the morning, filling up several evidence bags and taking photos of the crime scene”, is somewhat heartening, but is what they are supposed to do when a crime has been committed.
Maybe now Jones and Boon will put their shoulders to the wheel of proper policing, especially given the disaster that was the previous Chief Constable.
I am sure what you are saying is very interesting if i could understand one word of it.
More benefits filth scum on the island.
