A senior Metropolitan police commander who wrote the force’s drug strategy allegedly smoked cannabis in front of his lodger every day, a gross misconduct hearing has been told.
Commander Julian Bennett later threatened to resign when he was asked to take a drug test on 21 July 2020, a disciplinary panel heard.
Bennett, who has been suspended on full pay for two years, is also accused of taking magic mushrooms and LSD. He was nicknamed “Sacker” for dismissing dozens of officers – including two for drug misuse – while presiding over disciplinary hearings during his 45-year career. He wrote the Met drug strategy for 2017 to 2021./quote]

In 1996 I did some small cartoons for Rugby News. Mostly complete rubbish tbf, and I'd lost all but one of the issues over the years. But while I was in Palmy today I went to the NZ Rugby Museum and they were kind enough to find them in their archives room and let me take photos of the lot. First time I'd seen them in over 20 years, so it was quite a blast from the past.
Anywho, here are a couple of them...

I never realised there were civilian VC recipients
https://www.rte.ie/news/leinster/2022/0 ... oss-award/The first Victoria Cross awarded to a civilian - an Irishman from Co Westmeath - has been bought at auction for almost £1 million.
London auctioneers Noonans said the £930,000 paid for the VC given to Thomas Henry Kavanagh represents a new world record.
Kavanagh, from Mullingar, was honoured with the gallantry award, usually reserved for members of the British and Commonwealth forces, for his actions at the siege of Lucknow in 1857 during the Indian mutiny against British rule.
In November 1857 he volunteered to leave the safety of the besieged British residency in Lucknow and managed to avoid capture as he passed through rebel lines under the cloak of darkness to pass a vital dispatch to a cavalry outpost.
Kavanagh, who had worked in the civil service in Lucknow prior to the rebellion, then used his local knowledge to guide the relieving force through the city to the beleaguered residency garrison.
Britain's Queen Victoria presented him with a VC for his bravery at Windsor Castle in 1860.

Rebel lines?
The use of language is always interesting. I imagine Putin would be referring to the Ukrainians in the same way.

The Mutiny must have been the first insurrection started by rumour (albeit after much simmering); & succeeded in joining Hindus & Muslims in common cause.
