So glad he has been released with no charge.

Hope the local police keep him safe from reprisals from the lowlife family members .

They will have to move him and his wife. They can’t even see out their lives in their own home because of these scum.....

So now it’s being reported that the scumbags family/friends will attempt revenge, this may not actually be so because I expect armed police may well be on standby. However, having invaded the mans home, the relatives have now set up a shrine for the scumbag directly opposite his home. We really are far too tolerant of these people. The council should remove any objects deposited without delay......

I am not right wing, I am a centrist. If I were to insinuate that your opinions came from the Morning Star or the Sun or whatever, I am sure you would rightly feel insulted, so I never would. Perhaps you could extend the same curtesy to me. If I quote a newspaper I generally attribute it.....

Really Pete? Here's your recent comment on that other well known centrist, Margaret Thatcher;

'She was the driving force behind changing a decrepit and union ruined country into one of the best growing economies. She changed all our lives, and the lives of our children for the better..........'

I don’t care if good policies come from the left or the right, I have no dogma in that respect, as long as they benefit the country and it’s people . I stand by both of my comments.....

That’s to be applauded but It’s difficult to reconcile a centrist position with wholehearted support for a figure as divisive as Thatcher .

Looking at your posts it’s not easy to take an overall view of them as centrist , that’s not a criticism by the way they’re your beliefs and I’m sure well held.

All the flowers have been removed from the fence and dumped on the floor , apparently .

To take your first point I’m not sure how well he’ll be protected if he returns home , I’m not sure we’ll have armed police posted outside his address ad infinitum . logistically I don’t see that being an option so unfortunately you get a reactive response which is far from Perfect . Obviously the actual threat, rather than newspaper reports, will need to be assessed by the relevant authorities .

On your second point I’m able to empathise with a family that feels a loss whatever the character of the individual involved but I completely agree that that display feels wholly inappropriate and the council should certainly look to remove it.

By the residents though I think rather than the council and the locals response is completely understandable.

The BBC do say it wasn't done by the local council or police . Happened overnight

Exactly that’s what I’ve said

Bet the guy who filmed himself doing it will get threats now.

 

[chrissyjack]

Probably the person who owns the fence .

The relatives of the deceased will now say he was killed " Just doing his job " . Then sue the old fella for loss of earnings .

Tbf, the pictures show that the flowers have been placed on the floor and that the teddy bear and card have remained in situ.....whoever did it at least did it with some respect....

He will have to move...if as reported they are travellers then they will return to the house at some point......
