Every force in the country (like all public sector outfits currently) is crippingly underfunded and unable to do any of the basic things they're supposed to be able to do. As such, when you get wind that someone's gone missing by a river, you probably shrug, have a quick look, send the divers in to find the body when they become available.
Bodies in the river happen all the time, I have always lived within a mile of the Thames and there are bodies pulled out of it constantly, either short term or long term. What they wouldn't have been expecting is for this particular one to blow up big style in terms of media interest (as only a very few of these cases do, when they are in the sweet spot to do so) and that's why you now have a big disconnect between that reality, and what went into the opening part of the investigation.
When they smashed up my front door, they spent far more effort and energy on avoiding paying afterwards than they did on investigating what was going on in the first place. This is just the nature of UK public services in the current era.
95% of them are just doing their best, like 95% of the workforce generally. Some of them are stupid, shock. You're held to a higher standard in that job because a lot of the public are armchair experts and many others are natural law breakers, which are two natural reasons for you to be disliked as a police officer, before you've even started.

Is there a more deeper and violent river nearby?
Gotta keep on voting blue though, eh?
If I voted Labour it would still be true.
The whole 'one is only allowed to critique the state of things if one voted against the governing party of the day' thing is going to come home to roost for a few people soon.
Apparently, there was one CCTV camera nearby which wasn't working. If it had been, then the likelihood of it providing a clearer picture of events would have been high.
Find the owner of that camera, and you've found your murderer. You're welcome.
Ps. Old curly giving the judgement over GB News, and then whipping out a daily mail article.
We get it. You hate the police. You can stop rabbiting on about it now.
They’ve got the best SEO in the game. Was a story in every paper so I just clicked the first link.Ps. Old curly giving the judgement over GB News, and then whipping out a daily mail article.
Does being in China mean you feel the need to defend bad actors of the state?
Not me.
The left, a political alliance famous for pulling together and not resorting to infighting.
Shut the fuck up.
See?
Keep up, mate. I’ve been back in the UK for years.
Turns out the police and I have something in common when it comes to basic investigations.
I thought you were in DC.
Have your eyes gone back to normal yet?
I shall not be taking any further questions. Thank you.
The things you are critiquing are in exactly the state you fully knew the Tories would get them in. This is what you knowingly voted for. You're worse than those Trumpists who got upset when he started raising their taxes because at least they have the excuse of being stupid enough to have genuinely had the wool pulled over their eyes.
You'll respond to this with the same old lazy jibes you always do because you have nothing worthwhile to say.
This is why the left infights because while I agree with what RL is getting at he then says things like 'worse than those Trumpists who got upset when he started raising their taxes' when ignoring the fact that Trump never raised any taxes, calling a soft c conservative voter worse than a Trump voter is a bit much.
Take the politiwanking to the relevant thread you slags.
I'm not going to pretend to have a deep knowledge of American politics, but my understanding was taxes are going up now in the US because of things Trump put in place. The Conservatives are obviously blaming Biden.
It's this bloody earthquake, has taken the dog walker story right down the news rankings (understandably so). Husband must be secretly relieved.
And D list tits in bikinis pretending the paps haven't arranged to take photos of them whilst walking down a beach in Dubai/Tenerife/Ibiza.
Does anyone remember the results from the last awards?
I thought we had reached fever pitch with this case regarding the insanity of the general public but tonight there have been livestreaming tiktokkers trying to search 'abandoned' buildings and hold seances
Police dispersal order in the area now
They were getting close to the truth.
Police have been paid off by China, they're trying to cover up The Balloon's crime.
Suspect number one, it's got form.
True crime podcasts /documentaries (and attention seeking being a growth industry) have a lot to answer for.I thought we had reached fever pitch with this case regarding the insanity of the general public but tonight there have been livestreaming tiktokkers trying to search 'abandoned' buildings and hold seances
I mean Reddit was false identifying the Boston Marathon Bomber 10 years ago.
Yeah, but remember when we were all listening to police radio while looking at him hiding in a boat.
I get all my crime knowledge from Hercule Poirot, it's not exclusively a new phenomenon.
I only ever pretended to have a superficial knowledge of American politics so I'm on the clear, thanks for playing.
You're worse than those Biden fans that got mad at him for nuking Korea.
True.
Yeah but you're not barging onto crime scenes in David Suchet cosplay.
...are you?
If a bloke dressed as Poirot, fully committed and in character, turned up to a crime scene offering to assist with the investigation, I'd just let him in to be honest.
They're now checking along the coastline for some reason.
Balloons don't travel along the path of the river ffs.
Neither does a body in that river.
Probably looking to see where she pushed the dinghy off from.
Channel 5 have cobbled together a programme about it
That'll be thoroughly researched and interesting and definitely not just basically having somebody do sombre narration over all the news stories we've already had.
They had an hour and a half programme about a bit of snow we had in 2018 the other day. Featuring Gregg Walace moaning about not being able to get home and being STRANDED in a Mayfair hotel for a week and other gammons wanking furiously over all the BLITZ SPIRIT on display.
I recommend it highly.
When's this one on?
