'Inner circle' was not the best turn of phrase, someone on the periphery maybe?

[THECORBYLOON]

The Met Police offered a £50,000 last year for the arrest of a named individual wanted in connexion with a murder.

Perhaps the police use their judgement when determining when to offer rewards and the amounts?

YMB 'So you attempt to appear superior in your other posts but really you didnt have an answer and now you are trying to weasel out of it'

No weasling here. I know why they offered a reward in the case concerning the OP because it says so in the article i.e. the police can't do it on their own.

You then asked why it hadn't been offered in other cases and i speculated that it probably wasn't necessary.

Is that simple enough for you, or are you going to try to spin my comment sagain?

Where was his father, why didn't he go and make sure these boys didn't go near his son.

// if I had information that may lead to the arrest and conviction of a murder suspect when the victim was from my "community" (or indeed from anywhere else) I would offer it freely.//

that is because you are a stereotypical white middle aged judge innit?

and turning in another judge who was a crim .... yeah righto! as 3T would say

also with an eye to - will they have to pay it out ever?

The palestine police [ yeah well retro is back so he alone will know what I mean] in 1948 offered £10 000 for some arab terroristen
and got no bites

when the arabs got liberation under the jews - joke joke! this is AB for chrissakes not the floor of the house of commons - one of the wanted man's associates commented - - - it was such a large amount of money that no one believed the british would actually pay it!

"Where was his father, why didn't he go and make sure these boys didn't go near his son."
My thoughts at 1130 but I think we know the answer to that!!

[webbo3]

i think we do ^

"...that is because you are a stereotypical white middle aged judge innit?"

Three conclusions you've jumped to, Peter. You don't know how old I am, you don't know what colour I am and you don't know that I'm a judge (any more than I know you are a pedant).

THECORBYLOON, you said earlier: "The Met Police offered a £50,000 last year for the arrest of a named individual wanted in connexion with a murder." Usually the wording is "for information leading to the arrest and conviction...". Anyway, would the police offer an award if they actually knew the name of the individual wanted?

OK, thanks, Mamy.

[steg]

Sorry crossed mam ( bit of a time delay up here)

[Mamyalynne]

I know, you're still steam driven - we went electric last week.

[steg]

Aye? Electric.. what’s that?

[New Judge]

It'll never catch on and in any case it frightens the horses.

[bodeker]

Well learn something every day , I always thought when a reward was put up it was someone in the community who came forward , did not think the Police offered the reward .

[sandyRoe]

I wonder did the Americans pay the reward offered for th e capture of Saddam some years ago?

[Mamyalynne]

Not sure but found this.
