You know that bloke in Trafalgar Square - war protester - been there for yonks... you know the one. Anyway, a team of 78 police were despatched to sort him out and he is now appearing in court - apparantly his anti-war banners were too long or something. 78

Father of seven !! Ex Carpenter, mmm, wonder who's paying
for that lot.... Perhaps they should have brought social services
along for the ride ....

He needed to be taught a lesson. We don't tolerate banner-waving scum in this country.

Tony B Liar in "Putting the Great back into Britain" Mode

[AlfredJPruffock]

Seventy Eight policemen to arrest one peace prostestor, irrespective of Mr Haws cause, this marks a Day of Shame for Socialist Britain.

NB The Dangerous Organised Criminal Act was scripted by Tony Blair himself with the sole intention of targetting Mr Haws protest.

78 police officers eh? Probably works something like this:
5 to prepare the strategy
5 to blend the tactics with the strategy
5 to submit the business case for the strategy and tactics to the Home Orifice
the same 5 to resubmit the business case with extra funding for overtime
20 plods to execute the tactics
20 plods as back-up
20 plods as back-up to the back-up
3 strategists overseeing the operation

and we wonder why there are no plods on the street?

So true. How long before they outsource arrests too?

Yes if theres only one thing that Plod have managed to hit the targets for under NL its overtime, if anybody has read Irvine Welshs dainty novel FILTH then the form OT7 may spring to mind.

Clearly it was necessary to spend 23 grand of the hard working UK taxpayers money given Mr Haws established links with Saddam, whoops ... no whats his name, Mahoud er oh well , somebody with a dodgy foreign name.

As long as we are safer then better not ask too many questions.

Galloway?

[AlfredJPruffock]

Galloway?

Thanks Dave,that will do nicely.

Im safer
Hope youre safer too

Anyway its good to see that Plod has concentrated all of its resources on this dangerous criminal now I feel so safe.

Tough on Crime,its all so reassuring, I might start to purr with contentment.
