Is anything going to be declared on the spot? I am not suggesting for one minute any of the cops might be biased but there is a natural tendency for people in the same line of work to cover up for others in the same line of work more often than not their paths cross and then we have financial benefits from each other and the rest.<br /><br />Little wonder the judges are battling so hard against the parliament on this because they must be up to all sorts far above even the extremes of the Police property empires and consultants work.<br /><br />Keep up the good work Peter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-22831509464252126452017-08-23T14:40:08.390+01:002017-08-23T14:40:08.390+01:00Well Peter this about nails it for judges!Given al...Well Peter this about nails it for judges!Given all the other extra jobs the cops and their staff are doing there is NO WAY on this earth the judiciary can escape declaring their interests!<br /><br />I love the way you put it about first responders v last responders too!!Very appropriate!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
