Now here’s a headline and article you never expect to see in the Daily Mail: body in charge of UK policing policy is now an £18m-a-year brand charging the public £70 for a 60p criminal records check.
Normally the Daily Mail is the first to defend the police against the slurs of dangerously longhaired protestors or loony lawyers, but this is more like how it usually deals with socalled “dole scum” or suspciously foreign asylum seekers. The murder of Ian Tomlinson seems to have been a wakeup call and it’s interesting to see how the Mail‘s views on the Tomlinson case developed over time.
