When will Boris be prosecuted ?

 

Boris Johnson was seen 'playing dress up' as a police officer on Monday

THE CURRENT LEGISLATIVE POSITION FROM THE POLICE ACT 1996 IS THAT -

(1)Any person who with intent to deceive impersonates a member of a police force or special constable, or makes any statement or does any act calculated falsely to suggest that he is such a member or constable, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale, or to both.

(2)Any person who, not being a constable, wears any article of police uniform in circumstances where it gives him an appearance so nearly resembling that of a member of a police force as to be calculated to deceive shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.

(3)Any person who, not being a member of a police force or special constable, has in his possession any article of police uniform shall, unless he proves that he obtained possession of that article lawfully and has possession of it for a lawful purpose, be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 1 on the standard scale.

(4)In this section—

(a)“article of police uniform” means any article of uniform or any distinctive badge or mark or document of identification usually issued to members of police forces or special constables, or anything having the appearance of such an article, badge, mark or document.

SAVE OUR CARE HOMES

Save Our Care Homes!


Derbyshire County Council intends to close seven of its
Care Homes. We fear this may be the beginning of more
County Home closures. We need to stop the closures to
protect our elderly, sick and frail residents. The jobs of
skilled and dedicated staff are at risk, too.

Residents may be offered places in privately-owned
Homes up to ten miles away. As many Homes do not
accept residents with dementia, it is hard to see how
every resident will be able to find another place to live.

The Council claims it will cost a vast sum of money to
refurbish the seven Homes. Yet they have paid £6.63
million to private consultants to find out how to save
money on services!

DCC claims that demand for residential care places is
falling. This is because since early 2020, DCC has been
restricting access to assessments for these places.
Across the whole County, only 70 long-term placements
were allowed between February and December 2020.

Nationally, the Association of Directors of Social Services
disagrees strongly with Derbyshires claim that demand
for places in Care Homes is falling. The Association says
that the worsening shortage of care home places is cause
for deep concern. Why does Derbyshire County Council
think it knows better than the national organisation of
professionals?

What can you do?
