Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th March, 2021

10th March, 2021.

Right … I’ve got Radio Four playing in the background: the interview, on Sunday night, seems to be causing a stir.

Understandable.

I suspect the thing will be running and running and running … 

At any rate?

That’s not necessarily what’s caught my news eye.

The thing that did?

If you recall, a young woman called Sarah Everard disappeared, last Wednesday: somewhere in the Clapham Common area.

I was thinking the case would turn into a protracted one.

But the police have moved rapidly.

Overnight, a man has been arrested in connection with her disappearance: a woman on charges of assisting an offender.

The man is a service officer in the Metropolitan Police: in a move police describe as a “serious and significant development.”

Police have also described the development as “shocking and deeply disturbing.”

Frankly?

I can’t see how.

A police officer is just as capable of wrong doing as anyone else …
