This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

Those of us who’ve engaged with @ followed your relentless quest for full disclosure have known this all too well. The rest of the population need to have their eyes prised open.

Can you express concern over the extraordinary levels of PFAS (forever chemicals) ground and water contamination on the former Upper Heyford airfield site? Dorchester Living who are developing Heyford Park seem wilfully ignorant. Perhaps because they’re NOT TESTING and EA and CDC not mandating it.

So practical policing would be ‘crack on’ with S8 warrant and to use S.59 CJPA, which appears to also be the outcome here. TBH I’m not convinced any DI or SIO would be that calculating though…

I was plod. I’m not falling for PR but very alive to the dynamics within judges chambers at the Old Bailey. I was wondering why someone back at the nick didn’t query it but imagine they did. Then pondered the likelihood it might be seen as fishing for the ‘right’ judge.

“OMG we fucked up” said the judge/advisor. And judges rarely criticise their brethren but the court report is attached. In case anyone is interested www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

S.8 warrant is for search and seizure of evidence of a more routine nature. S.9 required for ‘excluded or special procedural material’. Personal, confidential notes or notes held in confidence, journalistic or financial material. It’s this stuff he wants excluded from enquiry. Obviously.

Definitely not the case in matters at this level. Does anyone have any view on the court decision to only issue the section 8 application?

Greggles999 @greggles999.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Is there not court culpability here? Why does the judge and the court advisory team get a free pass? It is the Central Criminal Court - not a local magistrate doing his best with a young Bobby, a bible and the pair doing their incompetent best

Sorry. Profoundly disagree. TVP went with belt and braces but court decided only needed belt. This is on the court decision makers.

Greggles999 @greggles999.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
TVP went to court for search warrants under two different sections. 8/9. Court opted for just one 8 as all that was required. TVP were correct. Court cocked up.

It’s still quite a ton of money to be earning, compared to anyone in civil service, teaching, local government, military, policing, nhs etc. And majority of private sector roles. Unless you’re pretty senior.

All very sound and sensible suggestions. Says retired DI who’s been watching the systems in the courts collapse since well before retiring in 2014. Austerity and Tory decisions have gutted justice since the bank bail outs.

Humblebrag regarding my younger wife. I’ve got a 56 yr old who’s quite the gym bunny and aiming for Barcelona Ironman late next year. Already the training is all consuming. Only learnt front crawl this year and now doing 2km lake swims. A finish is a massive win. She’s my heroine.

Well, when a large garage/shed full of PFAS foam concentrate barrels (stinking & leaking) alongside a bright red fire foam only trolley is photographed at distance and described as ‘shed with containers’ by the desk top study, EA might well be successfully duped…

I’ve written to Neil Whitton recently, suggesting the planning controls at the Islip jet fuel dump site not robust enough. Questioned effectiveness of checking discharge of conditions. I may have done him a disservice… Good spot Tim.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

Just as well those committing wrongs against the RNLI are not holding placards supporting a proscribed organisation, else they would really be in trouble.

The local community is being gaslit by the developer. If they did their own, transparently reported testing then they would be very aware of the soil and water contamination. Don’t test = don’t know! And CDC planning very, very lax in requiring them to act responsibly.

Greggles999 @greggles999.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Best you also have a rethink over the Islip village former cold war jet fuel store (serving Upper Heyford). Riddled with PFAS contamination and abandoned barrels of firefighting foam concentrate. You’ve green lit planning with zero controls in place. Highest UK test results for contaminated soil.
