Thomas Hill

A police officer who sent sexualized texts to a vulnerable woman who was on patrol has been sentenced to prison for a crime. According to the police watchdog, Thomas Hill, a student from Deal Kent, exploited his position to have the inappropriate sexual relationship with the woman after the pair met while supervising in a hospital. The woman was arrested for an offence in December 2020 and was asked to supervise her while she was being handled at the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate. According to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), the 35-year-old, who had previously confessed to misconduct in public office, was sentenced to eight months in jail at London's Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday.

Guinness has survived many world wars and countless financial crises to become the country's most popular beer brand, enjoyed by everyone from your average punter to Princess of Wales Kate Middleton (pictured left). And new data shows it was the most popular pint in Britain this winter, barely beating out top competitor Carling in terms of value. It now accounts for 1 in 9 pints in London and has seen an impressive 19% increase in Europe last year. According to Guinness, the iconic dark-colored tipple - which is actually ruby red - arrives with a creamy head and is'smoothly balanced with bitter, sweet, roasted notes,' while still giving drinkers the smoothness of 'roasted coffee and chocolate'. There's no denying that its taste is a key factor in its success, but Diageo-owned brands have given a masterclass in marketing over the years, which has been aided by its rich history that spans generations. It has also remained ahead of industry trends, aiming to become environmentally friendly while becoming officially vegan five years ago. Max Fairhurst, Senior Account Manager at creative firm Red Brick Road, told MailOnline, "It's the romance of Guinness - it's constant" - the fact that my Grandpa drank it in pubs, as does my Dad. Its marketing is as innovative and historic as the drink itself. These beer mats from his local pubs in the 1960s were framed in my lounge, as the toucan, the bear, and the seals were among John Gilroy's now legendary zoo collection sported. Guinness is a global company worldwide brand, but its marketing gives it a warm, reassuring, and familiar feel.'
