Councillor calls for police to use pirate radio for appeals

POLICE appeals should be broadcast on pirate radio stations [in London] to help crack criminal cases, it has been claimed.
Lewisham Lib Dem Councillor Duwayne Brooks has urged police to start using the unlicensed stations. Cllr Brooks, 35, who is also Lewisham Community Police Consultative Group vice chairman, made the call.

The Met has said raising awareness of crimes is a “complex challenge”, but has ruled out using the stations because they are illegal.

Pirate radio plan to attract Loch Ness Monster

THE high priest of UK white witches plans to high-jack the radio air waves and blast out monster music songs on the banks of Loch Ness in a bizarre bid to summon Nessie [the mythical Loch Ness Monster].

Paranormal researcher Kevin Carlyon, who is the self-styled protector of the Loch Ness Monster, will be creating his own "pirate radio" to transmit 10 music hits which he believes will get the spirit of the monster "in the mood" to make an appearance.

It has been a quiet year so far for sightings for the elusive Nessie, but the white witch's stunt could cause a ripple at the end of the tourist season.

He plans to play the hits to the monster in an illegal FM broadcast and also strategically place half a dozen radios around the banks of Loch Ness which he believes the spirit of the monster will hear.
