    Its unfair to criticise
    The police are in a really difficult situation and until they have concrete evidence Moat is not in the area they cannot leave it. It would be incompetence otherwise.

    I also strongly suspect there is a lot more to this than has been shared publically as it simply doesn't add up what he is doing hanging around the countryside or why he still is after the police.

    I am suspicous of the polices statement today however. I am now starting to wonder if Moat is still communicating with them and almost holding them to ransom to "big" him up on the media rather than say the truth that he is some guy in the middle of nowhere who will be a bit dead when he comes up from air from whatever hole he is in.

    The police may have intelligence about Moat they don't want him to know they have, so they won't always tell the whole story in media interviews.
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales

    We got an office sweepstake going on how long he goes before he gets caught.

    Well we are now on our second sweepstake as we all thought it would be over by now.

    I know one shouldn't judge on appearance and she's probably done the last 48 hours without a break, but the Temp C.C. really should do something about her hair before appearing on the 10pm news.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.

    She does too, wait till she sees herself!

    I think he's probably not even in England any more, he's probably in Europe somewhere by now.

    Personally if I was in charge of NP the first thing I would do is to ban Sky News from the area......all the guy has to do is listen to Sky News to find out where the police are looking and then go in the opposite direction.

    On a different note does anybody think it's weird that he's now supposed to be targetting the general public when before he only seemed to have a grudge against the police and authorities?

    Yes, I do. Because how do they know what he's thinking if they've had no contact?

    The Police have offered a £10K reward for anyone with info which leads to the capture of Raoul Moat

    If it isn't claimed by Tuesday is is going up to £20K......... It's a Raoul Over..
