Broken Yard: The Fall of the Metropolitan Police

Product Information

Sir Mark Rowley is the new Met Police commissioner. Is he up to the job? Who would you have selected instead? Chloe Ferry shows off her ample cleavage in a red crop top as she heads Christmas shopping with on/off boyfriend Johnny Wilbo Helen Flanagan reveals she and ex Scott Sinclair are not on speaking terms and admits their children have been left 'upset' by the 'very raw' split He told the police: “Crappy governance is not a crime. The downstream effects of a prosecution would be apocalyptic. The US authorities’ reaction would put the whole business at risk, as licences would be at risk.” Shoppers' secret to Zen: NEOM's bestselling electric diffuser is on sale with 30% off this Cyber Weekend (it fills your home with fragrance for 7 hours)

What we were doing had been company policy since we joined News International. We were taught how to do it by people who already worked there. And everyone knew about it. Scotland Yard seemed to know about it for years and didn’t think it was a problem. Everything we exposed was in the public interest. And then suddenly everyone pretends this was actually really bad and your life gets turned upside down.”Lucy Panton, the former crime editor of the News of the World, was put through two trials and nineteen months on police bail. She said she had been “completely hung out to dry” by a company which she had loyally served for a decade. “When my daughter Lily was born she was very ill and on a life support machine. I was made to work by her bedside after her second and third operations. The loyalty I had shown to the company meant nothing.” But Panton, who is married to a police officer, was even more furious at the betrayal of her sources: Lily Allen steps out without her wedding ring during a stroll in NYC - after herhusband David Harbour broke his silence about split rumours

The promoter’s decision in respect of all matters to do with the competition will be final and no correspondence will be entered into. It is also clear from the minutes that the CPS could have charged News Corp with corporate offences – but chose not to do so. They reveal that the legal advice from UK prosecutors was that corporate liability “does lie at editor level” and that both Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson had recently been cautioned for additional corporate offences. Barely a week goes by without the Metropolitan Police Service being plunged into a new crisis. Demoralised and depleted in numbers, Scotland Yard is a shadow of its former self.Strictly's Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola fuel romance rumours as they pose for cosy photoshoot with fans saying they are a 'match made in heaven' A phone operator then decided to record the incident as ‘no crime’, a move that improperly boosted police statistics. The Eatons were furious. And when a scene-of-crime officer did eventually pay them a cursory visit, some 48 hours later, he refused to review clear CCTV footage identifying the offender — he refused to take it. How did we reach this squalid malais? Who is to blame? And can it be fixed? Harper, who has a forensic eye for detail, explores scandals large and small, from the way investigations into the murders of Daniel Morgan and Stephen Lawrence in the early 1990s were hobbled by police links to organised crime and dodgy detective agencies, to the squalid culture that led to the force telling a series of porkies about the dreadful failings that led to the shooting of De Menezes. It is in all of our interests that Sir Mark Rowley makes a success of this difficult job and all right-thinking people should wish him well. The result is a devastating picture of a world-famous police force riven with corruption, misogyny and rank incompetence.

The diminishing co-operation with NI appeared to be unnerving the Met. Previously unpublished minutes of meetings in Tower 42 between senior police officers and the company’s lawyers show that Scotland Yard then came up with a remarkably benevolent assurance. Strictly's Bobby Brazier reveals the two words he would say to his late mother Jade Goody as he dedicates emotional dance to her Former NotW crime reporter Lucy Panton was one such scapegoat. She was made to reveal her sources in the Met as Murdoch tried to shift blame from the managerial strata to the workers in newsrooms. Her testimony does not exonerate her fully but it does show the lengths to which the rich and powerful will go to conceal their behaviour.
