Rob Moore recounts being approached by Devon and Cornwall Police over alleged offensive speech at his pub night, Katie's Arms. He refused an immediate interview, drafted his own statement, then sat through a 1.5-hour recorded interrogation with two officers.
Off. You need me nailed on a cross. F off. I was sent a letter in early May, and it said something to do with offensive speech on my Katie's Arms, which is my pub night that I run every Friday. Glass of wine, lots of people join in, have a laugh at me. And so I had two choices on the letter. One is to be arrested and two is to come in interview under caution. And I've been through this before, so I pushed back. I'm not, not gonna do it. And knowing how police work, especially with me, I rewrote the statement. I drafted what I wanted to say, which was a couple of sentences and much more punchy. I was taken to a room by two bints from Devon and Cornwall police, and I went in there and then they begin the recording. I was interviewed for an hour and a half because I called myself a Spanish.
