Hesitant to have a go at the police too much...as there is so much we, obviously, are not (neither should be) privvy to. However, the Clifton Bridge Saga will surely go down in the history books of crime as a total waste of resources...when other, obvious to those with a microscopic brain, avenues were not pursued. Who....even in their greatest hour of panic...would go over a toll bridge whose cameras are so very obvious (to stop jumpers from the bridge). I would have given one community officer the task of sifting through the useless video footage from there. The other (God knows how many)officers could have been collecting ALL CCTV footage from ALL the shops on her route. It is up to the police to see whether or not there is something of interest on the CCTV..NOT the shopkeeper. After all, do we rely on shopkeepers to keep us safe? Do we expect them to apprehend the perp when one of our loved ones is murdered? NO...we expect the police...we pay the police and therefore have the right to demand that the police do what we pay them for.
Let's hope they surprise us all....IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE...with the evidence against and swift arrest of the guilty party. Our trust is in them...they must not let us down.
Exactly Mikey.
Couldn't agree more. I've got to say I was pretty flabergasted they were (or seemed to be) counting everything on that Suspension bridge getting there man. I marked all those maps off last week to satisfy my mind the feasbability of it all. Then I thought, I really should pass this on to the Police. The only thing that stopped me was, I thought surely they hadn't discounted the other route? I didn't think they'd be too impressed with help like this, not with all the predictions, premonitions, paintings and god knows whatever phoney stuff they get to waste their time with. It would proabably sit in a pile of unanswered e-mails anyway.
So not to waste my efforts, I joined here and posted them instead lol
Lo & behold the papers ran the story a few days later. I do think they thought they would nail someone pretty quick across the suspension bridge, and also they counted on it being the night of the 17th.
