Then he started interfering in their lives in a fanatical way so much so that a Judge granted the couple an injunction against ex-partner to prevent him coming anywhere near them. This has been effective until now; ex-partner has succeeded in poisoning the mind of their son against the mother so effectively, that fired up, probably with a quantity of booze, and accompanied by several beefy mates he went round and beat the new partner very badly. If it was not for the intervention of neighbours who saw what happened, then the yobs would probably be looking at a murder charge rather than ABH or assault – no charge has yet made yet.xxxx Harassment: phone calls
Mr Bill was asked to visit the victim and take a statement and photos showing the extent of the beating. It was probably handy they asked Mr Bill as no one else seemed to know how to operate a digital camera not incorporated into a mobile phone, transfer the photos to a computer and then email them to the another Police station - rather than faxing (???) as they usually do.
Mr Bill hopes his thorough and it has to be said copious statement might help gain a conviction for this dreadful assault. Maybe if the ex has no one else stupid enough to go and do his dirty work then this couple stand some chance of making a life together.
The rest of the shift was mainly confirmation to Mr Bill of just how idiotic our licensing laws now are. Cheap alcohol available any time - have we learned nothing from history?

The alcohol thing really perplexes me. I love a drink, but my reading of history is that society would be a lot better off without it... my visit to the hogarth exhibition at the tate haunts me to this day...
but would i be for a ban on alcohol? it seems to be that (like marijuana) alcohol seems to affect different people in different ways... but how to legislate for that?
and would people with violent tendencies just find another 'poison' or excuse?
i know people a lot more cleverererer and informed than me spend a lot of time thinking over these issues, but i will be fascinated (and a little terrified) to see whether alcohol gets the same treatment as smoking in my lifetime
You have already explained that he was tyrannical and overbearing.
Is that because of drink, or just the way he is?
Either way, he sounds a right 'B' to me and he would have done that anyway.
Disgracful behaviour.
It makes me so mad.
