Has anyone else noticed these cropping up in petrol stations and supermarkets? Surely the ultimate "Tory cut?" Could we see future riots being controlled by a thousand of these propped up in strategic places?

Could we perhaps see the forming of a cardboard regiment in the army at some time soon. You could leave them in Afghanistan to keep the Taliban at bay!

I travelled across Russia and Ukraine about ten years ago and saw many carboard police cars at the side of the road. Used to slow down traffic.

How about a cardboard leader????????? One to replace present government. Couldn't do any worse and would save on expenses? !wink!

Cardboard policemen have proved extremely effective in America at stopping crime at gas stations, why not bring it here and give it a go. At worst it will do nothing and the petrol station owners will be no better off, and maybe in some cases it will work.
