I don't want to hear what Kemi (it wasn't us) & co has to say about child abuse, I want to stay with Casey. Whilst her policing report had more holes than a Swiss cheese, she seems to be hitting nails on the head with this.

Today, after over 20 yrs as a dedicated, decorated and highly skilled officer, I was dismissed for providing a ‘misleading account’ in relation to a speed camera activation application for exemption when rushing to help colleagues whilst on duty. I left with my head held high.

The time a young mascot got so scared before a Man City game, he didn’t want to walk out with the players. Jack Grealish spotted this, calmed the boy down and said he’d walk out with him and make sure he’d be ok and they’d have fun.❤️ What a class act! 👏
