Maybe they're contracted to print a certain number of stories per month/year?

Do you have a cite for perlins ability to isolate maddie dna
I don't think he's ever said that

The stranger may well have been a previous occupant or staff member

In the Saunokonoko podcasts, I think.

No... Perli never said exactly what he could do.. Saunokonoko and others made their own claims imo
If you remember several posters including myself doubted he could confirm maddie dna... This is the first time there's anything directly from him and it looks like  he claims to be able to isolate a strangers profile... No sure how much use that would be


Certainly not the game changer some claimed

So is it worth dismissing?  It maybe helpful/ maybe not but worth a try.  If it wasn't helpful to do a reconstitution for the PJ to help investigate MBM's disappearance ,BUT worth while to do one for the BBC (entertainment for the masses), you have to wonder who is calling the shots here an why.

Cressida Dick has been awarded a damehood, the female equivalent of a knighthood, in Theresa May's outgoing honours list.

Standard procedure. All the previous Commissioners of the Met have been given knighthoods at some point.

You know its a crock when the likes of her receive it,opinion of course.

I don't have any facts and figures to back this up but it seems to me that crime may well have increased under her stewardship?  Especially violent crime eg stabbings?

Hasn't violent crime... Stabbings... Acid, attacks  ..increased all over the UK.... Not just  the Met

At least she doesn’t have a conviction for violent assault, unlike “sir” Geoffrey Boycott l

It seems just trying to find a, reason to criticise the Met.

As I said I don't have all the fact and figures so quite possibly yes but we're not justifying a Chief Constable elsewhere receiving a dame hood or knighthood we're talking about the Met Comm receiving a dame hood.

I think she received it for years of service to the police and for achieving high rank, whether or not you think individuals should be rewarded in this manner for years of public service is another argument entirely..  Personally, I think they should do away with the whole outdated concept for everyone.

And how is that relevant to the case.  The point I'm making is that you can't see a rise in crime in isolation and infer it's down to her management when violent crime is rising everywhere.  It seems another unfair attempt to criticise the Met
