If all that makes me an ignorant bigot, then I really couldn’t care less.
I don’t think it makes you an ignorant bigot, but I think it might mean that you’re maybe a bit gullible.
West Midlands Police have “strongly refuted” the version of events described by the councillor. So either the police are lying, or the councillor is lying, why have you chosen to believe the councillor ?
How do you know exactly what he said – because of what he’s told the press ?
Certainly if things happened as he says they happened, then it would be a complete waste of police time. Which is one of the reasons why I choose not to believe him and choose instead, to believe the police.
I suspect that Mr Yardley has his own agenda, which would certainly help to explain why he waited 6 months before complaining. I also suspect that Mr Yardley is a crap councillor who feels a need for publicity and public sympathy.
After all, if the version of events are exactly as described by Mr Yardley and the police did indeed act in such an outrageous manner, then it suggests that he must be one hell of a crap councillor, if it takes him that long to deal with an issue which he apparently claims to be so serious.
