@saranaidinecox I didn't enter this time but I appreciated the feedback last year. Perhaps your competition wasn't right for this particular entrant...maybe they'd be happier with all the other ones that offer no feedback at all. This competition is unique, please don't be disheartened.

Great to meet with @nicjayd today on behalf of @gbpoliceadvisor to tease out some police procedure issues in her latest work of fiction. The plot is fantastic and I wish her all the best with getting it finished and published.

Good morning @BBCNews. Please can you issue a correction to Naga Munchetty's piece this morning that stated police officers are among public sector workers taking strike action? They are not and to do so would be unlawful. Thanks.

Look what's just arrived! New genre for me but it's by Ruth Leigh so it's going to the top of the TBR pile. Something for all the Pride and Prejudice fans out there.

@LizCarterWriter @JAMarge @thegoodbookuk Hi Liz, this reminds me of a short story I wrote called 'what do you do?' featuring a character who is fed up of being sized up by the question so gives a different answer to everyone who asks it at a party with amusing results!

@policecommander Quite extraordinary... excellent use of hand movement though, maybe to distract from the words.

@AVintenAuthor @metpoliceuk The disciplinary process needs to take place quickly and reach the right result, I'm not sure how long that's taking these days. These processes need to be done carefully, too many examples of perpetrators getting their jobs back because of process flaws not because of facts.

@AVintenAuthor The media has long been biased in favour of reporting crimes based on the personal characteristics of the victim. When senior police officers have raised this in the past they were subjected to sustained media attacks to discredit them, because you know, journalists are perfect..

Every 2 weeks a UK police officer dies by suicide. When you post on SM, please remember they are human. The trend is to relentlessly criticise them. Good cops hate bad cops as much as anyone. Please remember the campaign for kindness and the reason for it. #KindnessMatters

@AVintenAuthor Aren't there thousands of examples of people who are insufficiently punished by the courts?

@CR_Writer20 I don't write my own blog but would it help to establish the purpose of your blog? Is it to promote yourself as a writer, share your faith or to raise awareness of a particular cause?
