This latest scandal is bad news.

Obviously because national security is compromised, but worse than that. We will now find photography becoming even more restricted than it already is.

This is a b****r for us togs. Bad news.
 
pc plod's fault that he just carried them like that!

I don't think this will ammount to anything, but in other cases our rights are being depleated!
 
Got a link? just had a quick look on Google but couldn't find anything.
 
Great. Another one for the fear-mongering, anti-immigrant journos at the Mail. They'll be having a field day with this one.

It was a basic mistake - but he should have known better imo. Hopefully this "slip" didn't compromise the operation too much. At least he resigned, for which he deserves credit. Lets hope the next bod in charge is up to the job...

I don't reckon they'll be much impact on photography tbh, but I do hope this ****** poor excuse for a government sort out their own data security and handling issues. :bang:
 
Most sensible people would keep top secret papers under cover, not this wally. Wonder if he had a "Dohh!" moment when he saw the front page?
Has he really got a wedding car hire business? B+G names and address probably not very secure then. Wayne

Was it a mistake though, or was he set up? It would have been dead easy for someone to have handed him the offending page just as he got into his car, or something similar.

Remember, this is the same officer who was in charge of the raid on the offices of the MP, Damian Green and the knives were already out for him...
 
Smells a bit this one to be honest. Top secret papers out in the open like that?

How convenient :lol:
 
It's far more than just a little mistake though. All such papers should always be carried within a locked briefcase provided for the purpose. Everyone who handles classified government material knows the rules and is regularly briefed on it. Only government ministers and top cops think that they are above the rules.

At least he's resigned so he has gone up in my estimation. Unlike government ministers who won't resign no matter what.
 
This is like Mervyn King accidentally exposing the PIN code for the Bank Of England - ie - he should be fired immediately.

I for one am confident this will happen.

Ahem.

lol, catch up, it's a bit difficult to fire someone who has already resigned.

True, the knives were out for him, although it would have been pretty hard to set him up I think - he could easily have slipped the offending papers inside one of the folders he was carrying and there would not have been a problem. I suspect he was reading the papers in the car on the way to the meeting, and had "more important things" on his mind. With such a vital and very pressured job, I guess it is fairly easy to loose sight of the "little" things, and it was a probably genuine slip. Costly for him, and potentially for the whole country, so resigning was the right move imo.
 
800 pixel width, remember? :rules: :razz: :lol:

But, oh, you've convinced me, open the doors, let everyone in :thumbs:

Oh...wait....isn't that why Nacker of the Yard was going to Downing St in the first place, because we have let all the scum in already? :suspect:

No one is saying or has ever said "let everyone in". I'm leaving the UK later this year so someone else can take my place.

Yes, that is the case. Like Eastern Europeans and other immigrants to this country, I'm leaving the UK to improve my life.

Exactly , we have enough of our own, we don't need all of Eastern Europe's detritus dumped on us as well

You see the problem with your argument is you keep saying "all". All of Eastern Europe (or elsewhere) hasn't come over here. All of Eastern Europe aren't scum and this is a one off case. The majority of immigrants contribute to the economy, integrate and do the jobs that British people feel they're above doing. On the rare occasion (and it *IS* rare compared with the number of people that do emigrate here) that a negative story about immigration is in the papers ALL immigrants are scum and are taking over the country!

Sorry, not all. Just those of a different colour or from a less wealthy background. The thousands upon thousands of Aussies, Kiwis and other western immigrants, who are equally "taking jobs from the British" appear to disappear under the anti-immigrant radar. I wonder why that is? :suspect:

No it isn't.

And again you are twisting my words. I agree there are many really nice and hard-working Eastern Europeans in the UK now, but we also have a huge amount that have come here solely to claim benefits or avail themselves of better (free) housing or suchlike and if you don't think this is the case then you really need to get out more.

I haven't come across any Aussie or Kiwi beggars in Glasgow, or any Big Issue sellers from those countries either, there are, however, dozens, if not hundreds of Roma gypsies begging on our streets, so tell me, what are they contributing to our society?

So ALL their scum and detritus have come over here? Then I'm moving to Eastern Europe! It must be fantastic there if it's scum free, being as they're ALL in the UK!

I don't disagree that there is a problem with the immigration system as this does happen but from what the media reports, you would have thought the ONLY immigrants we have are those coming to get free housing! Which is absolutely NOT the case.

And I've come across Aussie and Kiwi homeless around the UK, as I've met British people who are homeless and claiming benefits when I've lived overseas around Europe and in Australia, Canada and the USA.

It's not a problem specific to the UK as the Daily Hate would have you think otherwise. Does it make it any better or justify the problem here? Of course not, but the problem is not exclusively ours. So what do we do? Scrap immigration entirely or fix the problem?

So, to get back to the OP's original post about the numpty copper, on radio2 at lunch time they rolled out some Do-gooder Woman who proceeded to decry the actions of the Photographr involved, saying he should be publicly flogged for taking the photo and then letting it into the public domain:bonk:. As i understand it the said photo had to be blown up to read the document, are they now going to decry the Nikons and Canons of this world for the irresponsible advance in digital technology:bang::bang::bang:

I heard the radio program too and I thought she had a good point. I don't disagree with Quick resigning but I do think the photographer should have been a bit more morally sensible. After all, he has released one of our country's top secret documents regarding national security into the public domain. His excuse of not knowing what he had photographed is rubbish IMHO - I'm sure he would have looked at this image in more detail at some stage before releasing it.

And is entitled to his £110,000 a year pension immediately? Or take the option of £500k then £85,000 a year.

It's a nice job if you can get it.:thumbs:

And that's my point - why would you bother to be careful when you can sit back and get money like that at the age of 49?

I hate this "resignation for a pension" thing that these big wigs are allowed to do. They should still be brought to book - he did this when he was in the force, therefore he should be penalised for it as such. An investigation should be made and he should be fined - this should include at least the cost of bringing the raid forward as they had to.

Same as the bankers, polititians etc - they think they're all above everyone else, and can get away with whatever they want - then when they get caught/screw up they hop on the resignation train to comfortsville.
