The Detectives: Fighting Organised Crime

[denislawsbackheel]

Yep, probably class 2 NI which I think gets you the pension. Presumably if you are doing time and over pensionable age it accrues in the bank as a nice little nest egg for when you get out too?

Just checked and prisoners do not get credited with NI contributions.
So no pension for sonny jim when he comes out.
I doubt he has a days NI credits anyway from before he got banged up.

There is a minimum amount you need to live on though. A pensioner coming out of prison today with no income and no state pension would be paid £173.75 a week in guaranteed pension credit.

Fucking hell - i doubt he is sat worried about what pension he gets in 35 years time! At best 50/50 he makes it.

Imagine the mental damage it does, knowing you won't have freedom for 35 years?

What I find incredible about the "24 hours in Police Custody" is the level of serious crime in a relatively small town.
It is based in the Luton / Bedfordshire area.
This series has been running for a while now so the mind boggles what the level of crime and its viciousness is in our big cities.

I don't think the level of crime is any worse than it has ever been. We just see more of it through tv/social media etc. The most popular crimes are done online now and even with drug gangs the average wage of those in the lower levels is probably less than your average manual job. Hardly worth risking your freedom for but most see it as a macho thing to get into. Even the likes of Curtis Warren eventually end up behind bars and in any town or city you can find out very quickly who the dealers are. Truth is they grass on each other to avoid jail generally.

Many of us knew the lad on the run, infact he used to come to city games with us before switching his alligencies to United and hanging around with them all the time.

Silly thing to be getting involved in for all of them

Switching allegiances to become a rag?

Worse than anything on the programme itself that.

Well I grew up in Stockport and knew both of them, Little was a pure bully, loved breaking jaws just for something to do. The other went from being a speccy kid dealing phones and riding round round on mountain bikes to... well you know the rest.

This guy knows. Ridiculous DJ one minute....

Match day, I used to go in the Gold Cup further up the road when I was about 15 have a couple then walk to the top of Dickenson Rd there was another pub round there (not the Birch Villa on the other side of the road round the back) It had loads of pics of 60's celebrities on the wall, though I never saw any in there. It was the days of the season ticket book and I did not want to bring the whole thing as it was bulky and I was likely to lose it when pissed. Nowt worse than getting to the ground and finding you had the wrong number ticket and having to pay :-(

Gold Cup had a really great Sunday football team. Most were Cheshire League Saturday players
