The more I watch the footage the worse looking that chief constable looks - seriously someone on her wage should be able to afford a hairstyle!

Genius.

Why don't you judge her on her abilities and not her hairstyle or looks - this isn't celebrity big brother :rolleyes:

Q: Six days on what are you going to try next.

A: Good question. We are going to bring in reinforcements from every force in the country. The officers will stand at every street corner and tree in Northumberland. Moat will have nowhere to go and we'll nab him by the end of the week.

So easy to take cheap shots from the comfort of your armchair eh

That was like watching a parish council meeting from the vicar of dibley.

Of course it would have but unless they have evidence of that what do you propose they do, stick a pin in a map?

Stop bothering getting more police in... i heard they are paying some ridiculous amount per day for this.

And then imagine if people died because of bean counting, you would be up in arms.

It's almost as if some people want to find fault with the police no matter what they do.

Better armed that troops ? Get a grip magick.

To be fair to the lad he's actually right. The H&K G36 is a better assault rifle than the H&K modified L85A1. The Glock is a better pistol than the Browning 9MM.

I didn't know that Northumberland was a wilderness.

It isn't - it's God's country. I orientate my prayer mat towards it every day

Is it odd or is it just me that finds it a bit disturbing to hear his Mother say that he is better off Dead ?

Surely she would prefer him to be caught and locked up for life rather than any more bloodshed ?

I couldnt imagine me ever thinking never mind saying something like that about one of my children.

Must be quite a bit of organisation going into this... I'm curious now about how sealed off this place is... could I just walk in along a seldom trod footpath, or are policemen surrounding it? I want to know, but I'm too bust to go to Northumberland and see it for myself atm.

Also, if I was Mr Moat I'd run away to The highlands somewhere and hunt sheep.

It is interesting to see pictures of policemen effectively being soldiers though, it's like a mini police state.

Anyway, hope nobody else gets killed, but interesting nonetheless.

She's clearly embarrassed about what he has done and doesn't know how to conduct herself. I can't believe she really means it.

Northumbria police have put a £10k price tag on Raoul Moats head. If he doesn't get caught by next Thursday it goes up to 20k....making it a Raoul over.

I imagine she'll be in shock.

Unless you've had a grown up child who has shot two people and killed another, you can't know quite how you would react.

That's OK. A friend sent me the same joke by text. I did laugh, but it's getting boring now

Yes, I posted the same in #514. I expect she's worried that people will in some way hold her responsible as well.
