It is not just the Home Office. The police have been busy briefing too, 
against RIP

While searching for that I came across a "regulator" encouraging Toms, 
Dicks and Harriets to be more active, some months ago. No doubt this 
"regulator" was congratulated by the Home Office, but I prefer the 
third comment:

"How soon can Kennedy be sacked? This is a disgrace, the man is paid by 
us and adopts "stasi" tactics. What happened to justice and our 
"RIGHTS". Will someone rid us of this thoughly nasty non civil servant. 
An example should be made of, sack, loss of all benefits, the stock 
would be useful in this case. Who the hell does he think he is?"
