The Cover Up Begins

[David Johnson]

"Over here I haven't been stopped in the last 25 years".

If you had been stopped, no doubt you would have been moaning about the "UK police state" and the erosion of liberties particularly under New Labour.

Now you are moaning about not being stopped compared to the "good ole days" when you were regularly stopped.

Do you ever sit down, Jim, have a nice quiet cup of tea and think to yourself "Now what do I actually believe?"

As someone who has been burgled last November I can state that those CCTVs are of no use nor importance in dealing with crime whatsoever.

Deciding that whats best is best done by ones self I offered to help the police by determining what direction my car went in (given that it was very low on fuel) to which Ive been told

"The CCTV cameras are not used for that"

"So what are htey used for then?"

"More serious crimes. Like murder"

I just wished they'd state that on the blurbs that go under those cameras that they will be used in the event you are dead.

Don't bother. I'll be well past caring about this world when I'm pushing up daisys

And the footage is too blurry anyway, despite what you see on TV.

Think yourself lucky, police put one up to monitor a suspected pedo who`d just been arrested and it looks right into my mates bedroom.
Two days later pedo moves back into his house, against police advice and the street protest.
Couple of coppers come up, talk to the residents and try to persuade the pedo to fuck off back to Falkirk as he`s not wanted. All was going well till a fucking inspector arrived, grabbed a concerned father and asked him who he thought he was. Said father replied by saying who the fuck do you think you are and smacked him one. They arrested him and two other guys who had fuck all to do with it and made sure he was kept in over the weekend to miss his kids birth.

They seem to forget that they`re public servants, not our fucking overlords

'...and smacked him one.' Cant imagine why they arrested him, can you?

Hey he was in the wrong but so was the inspector. He put his hands on the guy first. He grabbed him and asked who he thought he was.
