The Phantom Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 "Mr Foster is an advocate for capital punishment for possession of more that £5 of weed" Now we know the real reason he got the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Grumpy Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I hope he's not related to Manxcare's Andrew Foster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Actually what I find quiote incredible is this of Gary Roberts: Quote Mr Roberts has held the Chief Constable role since 2013 and is the longest serving person to hold that position in the British Isles. So no currently serving British Chief Constable has been in position for longer than 9 years (as of now)?? Which begs the question how old is the new incumbent and will he last nine years? Or is it the prospect of putting his feet up for the next 5 years until he draws his pension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider the differential in street prices between the likes of Bradford and Douglas, some local smackhead’s fart is probably has a street value of more than £5.
