Peter Rhodes on the T-word, a butchered book and how to look like a copper for £60
Bristol Crown Court heard how a gun fanatic planning a massacre bought a genuine police uniform on the online market place eBay. Surely that is impossible? Think again.
A quick check on eBay reveals dozens of ex-police jackets and suchlike. A typical advert offers: “Genuine Police uniform, cap, shirt, trousers, security, fancy dress.” And all for £60. Can't be right, can it?
The row over the BBC and the T-word rumbles on. The Beeb insists that: “Anyone watching or listening to our coverage will hear the word 'terrorist' used many times - we attribute it to those who are using it, for example, the UK Government.” The implication is that the Beeb never directly uses the term.
