Met Police officer Tom Harrison has been knocking on over a hundred doors as he treks the country in aid of the British Red Cross' Ukraine appeal.

He described his latest experience as "daunting".

"The first place I stopped, it was an elderly couple who lived on a road leading up from Land's End on the north coast of Cornwall," he said."[All the people that have helped] are heroes in their own right and they've been part of my story." Starting on 12 September and walking 20 miles a day, his trek has taken him through Hayle in Cornwall, Yeovil in Somerset and Basingstoke in Hampshire.Speaking on why he is doing the "ludicrous walk" for the Ukraine Crisis Appeal, he said: "Their suffering has been far beyond mine."Really my day-to-day, the fatigue and finding food or accommodation, is nothing compared to what .

The Red Cross is using the money from the appeal to provide emergency relief to people in Ukraine and bordering countries, and also supporting people Ukrainians arriving in the UK

We hope he had a licence from each county he passed through and collected. I will be asking my protection officer to look into this. Must go, need to check on the Duchy of Cornwall's bank account.

The met police can get bent. They hide rapists, murderers, child abusers, corpse abusers, stalkers, thugs, and all manner of other racist bigoted scum in their ranks. I wouldn’t support this guy if he begged me to. ACAB.

Sir Mark Rowley: Met Police will attend all London burglary reports'Something as severe as burglary needs a proper policing response. It's too serious an intrusion not to have somebody turn up.' How is this news - “police to investigate crime” do you want a cookie or something. Is this how it works these days - should I post everytime I treat a patient? Can you imagine if he sorts out all the racist and misoganist coppers there won't be any left🤣 Shame sonjajessup didn’t ask the Commissioner how his officers can possibly attend ALL burglaries. If they do it means other calls from public (forget hate crime) will be ignored. & BBC generally can’t fathom huge decimation of resources like police have incurred.
