Not a massive surprise. I get why the press have turned up, but whatever everybody thinks of the bloke, it is nonetheless a funeral, and I imagine many people would find it intrusive to have dozens of journalists looking on and snapping away. (Not nearly as intrusive as breaking into...

Yes, because there's obviously that many police going spare to follow a large group of travellers around all day and all night. Hit them in their pockets? How, exactly? How are they going to "hit them in their pockets?". Like it or not, the travelling community have exactly the same rights to...

:ffsparr: What exactly do you expect the officer in charge of all this to say here? "Yeah, he's dead but frankly, he was an absolute thieving piece of work and we're all delighted he's no longer around"? And last time I looked, there was no "Prevention Of Laying Flowers In A Public Place Act"...

If the guy is dead, then they'll need to forensically examine everything, and interview the "suspect" under caution. Much of what they'd need to do to achieve that, could only be achieved by arresting him. I would imagine that, as spells in custody go, the homeowner in question has been treated...

That's down to the media. Not the police.

It does. I'll be amazed if he's charged with anything. But it's also perfectly reasonable for the police to establish the facts of what happened, and the only way to do that is by taking the steps that they have. If nothing else, there will be an inquest into the death of this apparent...
