A Day in the Life of Richard Brunstrom

[welsh blackbird]

Our publicity-shy Chief Constable is to appear in a documentary.

From the North Wales Daily Post:-

CONTROVERSIAL North Wales police chief Richard Brunstrom is the subject of a BBC documentary after agreeing to let the cameras follow his daily routine.

“The Chief” includes the now notorious press briefing at which he showed pictures of a decapitated biker without the family’s permission.

The Chief, BBC1 Wales, 10.35pm on Tuesday 27th November.

Cheers for that. I'd just like to make it clear to everyone in England with Sky that you can watch this on BBC Wales by flicking over to Sky Channel 972. (I've set the Sky+.)

So if I have this right he is now intending to re broadcast that despicable incident nationwide??

Well, unless you count the s**e he speaks....

But, I guess we can play a game.

He's not a broadcaster, He's a BLANK.

Fill in the blank boys and girls.

A day spent following Dick Druid around while he self abuses himself isnt my idea of quality entertainment.

A day spent following him around before shoving him under an Arrive Deprived Talivan would rate quite highly with me.
I favour option Deux.

The guy often speaks a lot of sense. Unfortunately the times he doesn't talk sense while less numerous, are far more memorable and regrettable.

Seen his latest blog? The last one I saw was a discussion about what to have in terms of symbols on epaulettes! The new badges will be rolled out over several years due to costs. Other recent blogs have been questionable too.

It's all in the detail you see...

Yep thanks for keeping me straight on that one Von.

Now a question for you, I'll keep it simple, and all I want to hear is either a Yes or No.

Do you support the actions of Brunstrom when he used those photographs.


YES


OR


NO?

So do you think he agreed to do the programme without having an option to veto the content?

Again answer Yes or No.

Let's see if you can maintain some credibility.

1) You may ask questions.
2) If you wish me to answer them you are in no position to dictate the content of any reply, or the manner in which it is given.

I personally believe it would have been best to get permission of the family to use the photos.
I believe the matter has been investigated & Mr Brunstrom to have been exonerated of any wrong doing in the eyes of those investigating it.

Please see 1) & 2) above.

I believe that ultimately he doesn't have control over what they do/don't broadcast.

He does have control over what he say to them same as I do when I do the PR over some life savin' drug I design/help engineer/help trial to licence

Von.. some of us are not so daft here.. und it not attacking your point of view either. I think you have met one of the cousin BiB (UK ones) in course of profession. You know I like BiB .. want more - but not at all the Stasi type as highlighted in unfortunate "FLY ON WALL" back in 2004 ish. I want real professionals. Ach.. you may think I think they let me off hook if I do the daft thing. // That not so. One should be able to trust their professionalism in reality.

Our Dick?

He should know what constitute professional regard for feeling of all concerned und seek permissions. It not just the Gibney family .. but the family traumatised by what happen as well. By harping on this.. Dick who cannot warrant excitement otherwise show as much contempt to the victim as to the deceased catalyst of chaos.

I do not condone Mr Gibney. But I do think he still merit dignity in his death und if all parties in incident agreed to a truly awfully shocking turn of Kismet's or Fate's Hand .. then no complaint und we turn to positive und worthy.

But he did not. He sullied a memory. He cause undue trauma to all concerned..

Und WHY//

To help road safety issues ?

NO> He offered not one practicable solution.

He suggest deceased deserve death when he(dick) place his quest to save lives.

He make victime/causer's family alike to relive a tragedy


He not worthy of uniform on this basis. Sorry von.. but I am honest to my inner emotions here.

More sick was the fact that the family trapped in the car had to observe body parts whilst they were released because of the stupidity of the attitude of the unfortunate driver who died!

I think it was a mistake to have let the identity of the dead driver leak into the public realm. I support the use of those images in the manner they were used to illustrate a serious situation that many people refuse to aknowledge regarding use of motor vehicles on public roads.

Conforming to the expected standard, just bury the reply in amongst the dross....
