They're looking for a bin lorry, they find the bin lorry, they search the bin lorry, they release the bin lorry and that's all over in 24hrs
Then they spend the next weeks searching the area !
How does that actually "link up" ?
It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever...based SOLELY on the evidence of the bin lorry that is.
You're right it doesn't. But if we're going to believe the bin lorry is the route to searching Barton mills they must have another link to Barton mills were unaware of, which means we can pretty much assume even confirmed information isn't really confirmed, it's whatever they want the public to think.
There's definately something that makes this case so confusing and cloak and dagger when really it shouldn't be. Surely aside from a botched investigation the other reasons could speculatively be it encroaches on a current investigation/surveillance of known criminals or that it involves the raf or usaf.
