Missing protestor update

The Missing Protester page has been updated as follows:
For a while there we thought we had a possible match; Detective Sergeant John Pickersgill. Further investigation revealed that Det Sgt Pickersgill was currently attached to S012, the Special Branch Section at New Scotland Yard responsible for holding intelligence on extremist bodies. In other words, he was one of very few police with a (theoretically) valid reason to be out and about acting like an agitator.
So I called him.
I first made sure that I had the same John Pickersgill that appears in the photo linked above and displayed below. I then explained the situation and asked if was our missing man.
His response: “I can absolutely and categorically state that it wasn’t me.”
So the search continues.

Or ends abruptly.Funny fucking resemblance for a person who wasn’t there.

Given his role, would you expect him to admit to either being the “missing person” or indeed even being there?

The noses are not right though.Unless hes had it flattened and widened..or someone has given him a smack ;-)

First reactiion was that they were the same person. Just asked a friend to make a judgement on the photos without telling them anything about the situation and their response was the same as johnwards – they look very similar but they’ve got different noses. Bah.As someone who’s had their nose broken twice, however, I can confirm that such a broadening is consistent with a hearty smack in the nose. Given his job, such a smacking surely can’t be ruled out.

Have you noticed the large earlobes on both, though? Try mirroring one of the pictures in a graphics package and you’ll see what I mean.

A current photo from Tims new pal would stop all this speculation ;-)

Very different noses. And the copper looks a fair bit older than the other chap, in my opinion.

2 Thoughts:-1: Go to a police station and get them to file an suspected kidnapping report against PC’s KF90 & 109.2: Maybe the fucker has ended in Guantanamo.
