Andrew Mitchell MP
Scotland Yard sources say it appears that Wallis had acted on his own in a misguided attempt to support his colleague’s story.
A total of seven other police officers are facing disciplinary action over the Plebgate affair.
2 consecutive statements from a report that I read.
Own v. 7
Hint of a contradiction there. I heard 10 on the radio yesterday.
Where does an orchestrated response ring a bell?
Davis
Miller
McIntosh
Mays
Bradshaw
O'Toole
O'Donnell
That's 7 to match Andrew Mitchell's case, but there's more, a lot more, as there probably are above.

Another great read from Lee Child
…You guys generate a lot of complaints. Your branch’s standard operating procedure is play dumb and hope they go away, which they often do, but if they don’t, then they’re defended, with historically mixed results. That’s how it went for many years. Then the ones that went away started to cause a problem, ironically. You all had old unproven allegations on file. Most of them were obvious bullshit, quite rightly ignored, but some were marginal. And promotions boards saw them. And they started wondering about smoke without fire, and people weren’t getting ahead, and it became an issue. And the Big Dog’s complaint was worse than most. I guess General Garber felt it was too toxic to ignore, even if it might have gone away by itself. He didn’t want to leave it sitting there on the record. It was way too[…]

Macedonia
Welcome country number 78
Macedonia : Македонија,transliterated: Makedonija), officially the Republic of Macedonia (Република Македонија, transliterated: Republika Makedonija , is a country located in the central Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. It is one of the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, from which it declared independence in 1991. It became a member of the United Nations in 1993 but, as a result of a dispute with Greece over its name, it was admitted under the provisional reference of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (поранешна Југословенска Република Македонија, transliterated: Poranešna Jugoslovenska Republika Makedonija), sometimes abbreviated as FYROM.
A landlocked country, the Republic of Macedonia is bordered by Kosovo to the northwest, Serbia to the north, Bulgaria to the east, Greece to the south, and Albania to the west. It constitutes approximately the northwestern half of the larger geographical region of Macedonia, which also comprises parts of Greece and Bulgaria. The country's capital is Skopje, with 506,926 inhabitants according to the 2002 census. Other cities include Bitola, Kumanovo, Prilep, Tetovo, Ohrid, Veles, Štip, Kočani, Gostivar,Kavadarci and Strumica. It has more than 50 lakes and sixteen mountains higher than 2,000 m (6,562 ft). Macedonia is a member of the UN and the Council of Europe. Since December 2005 it has also been a candidate for joining the European Union and has applied for NATO membership.

There's a few repeating themes starting to show through.
Corporate greed, where have I heard that before?
Corporate greed, where have I heard that before?
“Corporate Greed”
I have been working at UPS part-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Great Benefits, Good Union With Job Security and Education Benefits.
Cons – Low Pay and Grueling Hard Labor
Advice to Senior Management – Treat the little people with respect. Concentrate on making your workers happy and content.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this co
Dis-honest Management
“27 year veteran”
I have been working at UPS full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – The BEST health and dental insurance for your family. The best job stability in the industry. The best pay rate in the industry ( if you can survive the early years of part time hub life.)
Cons – If you plan to go into part time management, just get in, get out as soon as possible to get a great management reference on your resume. Fulltime management will eat you! If plan to remain hourly, join/support the union immediately and enjoy a long stable, well paid career driving the BEST maintained equipment in the industry along with the best benefits. Just expect long hours and weird shifts until you reach a higher level of seniority.
Advice to Senior Management – Constant harassment and intimidation of the workers and part time sups is criminal. If fulltime mangers want to scream, yell, lie, blame and back stab each other daily, fine. Just leave all the great workers, drivers and young part time sups who actually do ALL the work alone to do their jobs!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
Slave drivers
“Driver”
I worked at UPS full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – weekly pay, is great after you reach seniority. Able to work independently, no one really bothers you. pretty good benefits and union protection
Cons – Managers are unrealistic, they are like slave drivers, they really dont care about their employees (drivers) just the bottom line, numbers quotas and get those packages delivered
Advice to Senior Management – be prepared to work you a** offmpany
