Jacqui Cuts Plod
Large numbers of police forces are planning to cut thousands of officers despite the threat of a recession-driven surge in crime and disorder.
Representatives from dozens of police forces contacted by The Times last night gave a grim picture of falling numbers and “significant and painful” cuts...
Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, said: “There is no reason why police strengths should reduce..
I think I have spotted half a dozen who are surplus to requirements...
But then just as the Queen believes the world smells of new paint these jumped up poltroons of politicians believe the streets are always full of police. When my local hospital spends £30,000 or more policing its grounds against smokers but the county can't find the money for more plod on the beat then you know our priorities are screwed.

....And who took the photograph of those rozzers then? Shouldn't they be locked up?

To make that picture truly enjoyable, one needs to imagine Smith in cuffs and leg-irons, with a gallows in the foreground.
Or maybe that's just me.

I am taking the liberty of lifting this telling picture: into my file on Illegitimate Authority; and, it will be cross-filed under: 'Objectively God-damned State Liberallist Professionalism & Hyper-credentiallist Stealing'.

There is as well a section devoted to 'Beefy Females of Obvious Danelaw Antecedents & From the Broads', but that department has been suspended on reproof of sexism (/sic/); AND, a therapeutic finding by The Professionals: of OAD ('Oppositon to Authority Disorder', /eg/).

Is the coming crime wave going to be the usual group of hockey score IQs or is it going to consist of the former middle class stealing theirs back?
