Rather a difficult front page story for this week's Westmorland Gazette.
Cumbria Police Chief Stuart Hyde has been cleared of major wrong-doing after a long and expensive investigation by the authorities. But Cumbria's new police and crime commissioner begs to differ and has called for his resignation or retirement.
A legal minefield at best and not one my steamed editor wished me to tiptoe into. I ignored him, of course, and you can see my view of it below.
The other story which caught my cartoonist's eye was a protest about dog control orders. These were hugely complicated and legalistic measures brought in by our dear South Lakeland District Council, to curb naughty dogs from doing unmentionable things in public places. Given that very few dogs could read the orders, I'm not sure what they were designed to achieve. Some of the public feel similarly and have organised a protest on Saturday.
As usual, here is the selection of ideas I thrust at my editor. Which would YOU have chosen? Make your comment below and then race here, sirens blaring, to find out if you were correct.
