BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

[First Aspect]

A friend's son did his degree in Film & Media Studies specialising in the films of Robert De Niro.

What does he do for work now? Did someone make him an offer he don't refuse?

It seems like a fair observation. Consistency, and all that. And if not, why not?

That was Brando.

That was Brando.

No, Brando's grammar was better. De Niro as a young Brando said it that way.

J P Morgan! It was a very good offer.

Ah, yeah, you're quite right. It's been a long time since I watched Godfather 2.

I think it's fair to say that this kind of thing doesn't exactly engender trust in the police. It's a quite extraordinary (longish) read.

I know other Police forces are available, but it is strange how many of these incidents seem to involve The Met. A good friend of mine has a job which involves a lot of partnership work with them. Whilst, in his view, most are good officers, he says that there is this really strong core of Met officers that think they are untouchable.

That report looks terrible.

I imagine the Met is by far the largest and most high profile police force in the country which goes some way to explaining the perception.

This particular case does seem 'odd' to put it mildly though.

They have more officers than the next 5 biggest English forces combined and as you say, far more high profile due to the things like protests and political events they cover. They are also having to police Khan's distopian nightmare city that is London of course!

Rouge met officers. Telling us whatever weather they want.

Have you not been listening to Donald? Absolute crime ridden, no go area. Even worse than Minnesota.
