So I get quite a lot of death threats. But this one, sent to my Chambers, saying they would book a meeting and "ensure he spends his final moments breathing air densely fogged with his own blood screaming in agony, begging for his life & thinking of his family" is a bit special.
I reported it to the Met in January - the first of all the death threats I've ever reported - mostly because the correspondent sent a follow up. And I had four or five conversations with them. Now June and I've just had an email they are transferring it to Sussex police. Grr.
To be fair, both police forces have insisted I remain on their rapid response list for people especially at risk. But it is a bit frustrating how long they're taking.
