So what happened?
I haven't read the full story yet but the front page of the Daily Post today carried a small paragraph (saw it on the news-stand, I don't get the paper until this evening) which said that Brunstrom was going to "get a slapped wrist" or "a mild rebuke" or some such feeble wording.
The story was overshadowed yesterday by front page reports of allegations that Deputy Chief Constable Brereton bullied women staff. How convenient.
Perhaps they should leave Brereton alone until he is recovered from his recent problems.
