    Alarming stuff and great reports, thank you. Interested by the response, and the judicial review.

    “The Kent police assistant chief constable, Andy Adams, said yesterday: “We recognise that people have made complaints, and we are dealing with these in accordance with our normal procedures. “There is a judicial review under way and, during that process, Kent police is unable to comment on individual cases.”"

    Also – like the (not sure how) new touches to the look of the blog.
