If you’re arrested and detained for a crime you didn’t commit, what sensitive video footage does the police keep of you?
Nadine Buzzard-Quashie asked the question and what she discovered brought on a mental health crisis.
This is her remarkable, exclusive story. 1/
We asked both forces, if as Nadine claims, the real reason for detaining her was to remove the graphic Met Police CCTV footage. They declined to comment while her legal action was ongoing. In its civil defence, Northants Police said the use of force was lawful. 14/

As Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and a Northamptonshire MP, I was deeply concerned to see the reports regarding arrests at St Andrew’s Healthcare in Northampton.
These are extremely serious allegations. My thoughts are with the patients and families affected, and with all those understandably worried by the news.
Everyone receiving mental health care must be treated with dignity, compassion and safety at all times.

Mone and Barrowman lied. They told an enormous fib - that they didn't own PPE Medpro - and then sent lawyers to threaten journalists who were exposing the fib.
I've no idea why they think anyone will believe this new statement.

I missed this programme by @JonIronmonger when it was first broadcast in November but it’s a very good tour through the history of the curious Captain Tom moment and its aftermath that now feels like an English pandemic version of the Dutch tulip bubble bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…
