The Policeman's blog...

...blogger has been busted!

I'm a bit behind the game here (been too busy for blog reading lately) but it looks like the Sunday Times and a number of other newspapers published his identity (or got close enough to the mark that his superiors wouldn't have much trouble tracking him down) and also a load of his archive of posts last week (unedited and without permission) as a sort of "expose of grass roots opinion" (as one commentor on his blog put it)...

As a result he was scared into pulling his archive offline and has basically stopped blogging while he seeking legal advice...

From the sounds of things no sacking (or anything like that) has happened thus far, probably because this is going to be a very difficult one for the old boys at the top to handle...(what this will do to the other emergency services bloggers I can only begin to imagine)...but how scary to be in his position and suddenly "outed" without any prior knowledge...that's the stuff of nightmares :(

I don't blame the guy for keeping his head down a bit... :(
