the one that got away

Ok so, just what exactly does it take to get arrested?
Well, apparently being drunk and crashing into the same car not once but … 2wice? Yup.

I almost posted this under humor.  It’s like, maybe it’s a joke? But no.

So there were other urgent considerations that had to take first place. Understood.
Nowhere does the article say if the lady got the guy’s license.  Maybe she couldn’t. Whatever, it’s bizarre.
And something else. I wonder if this force is undermanned because of the cuts being made to save money.
It’s a thought.


Woman’s anger after police fail to arrest ‘driver so drunk he couldn’t speak’ who smashed into her car then stumbled into pub

· Nicola McCormack claimed her car was smashed on both sides by a self-confessed drunk, on the seafront of Canvey Island, in Essex
· She reported it to police, but no officers attended because ‘no one was hurt’
· Essex police say other road traffic calls took priority on this occasion but they have reviewed their service to ensure ‘improved future performance’

By Helen Collis
A mother was horrified after police refused to arrest a drunk driver accused of smashing into her car while she attended a children’s party.
Nicola McCormack watched on in shock as the man crashed into both sides of her car before stumbling into the pub next door to carry on drinking.
But she was even more livid when police failed to respond to the incident even though they’ve launched a campaign to stop drink drivers.
Ms McCormack, 30, from Canvey Island, Essex was at a party for around 40 youngsters at Cheeky Monkey’s play centre on the seafront when the driver smashed into her car.
The man, thought to be in his 50s, then stunned onlookers by staggering from his vehicle into the Monico Pub next door to continue drinking.
Ms McCormack contacted the police after confronting the man in the pub who confessed to smashing her car and told them he was drunk.
But she was left gobsmacked when officers told her they could not attend because no one had been hurt, leaving the man free to get back in his car and drive off.
She said: ‘The police say they are trying to cut down drink driving but then they just let one get away. It is absolutely disgusting. They should’ve come out he was so dangerous in that condition being behind the wheel.
‘He could barely speak he was so drunk and just reeked of alcohol. He tried to park on one side of me and crashed into my car, tried to park on the other side and crashed into my car again and then crashed into some wheelie bins. It was just lucky that car park wasn’t filled with all the kids at the time
Police and crime commissioner Nick Alston, said: ‘It is very important that everyone reports crime to Essex Police.
‘Drink driving, if proven by a proper investigation, is a crime. ‘My understanding is that Essex Police is actively following up on the information provided to them about this particular incident.
‘It is important that the force does so, and I would also expect officers to ensure that anybody reporting suspicious behaviour of this kind is kept informed of the progress of the subsequent investigation.’
‘I entirely understand the concern and frustration of the person who reported this serious incident, and I will be asking the Chief Constable for more details about this matter.’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
