A day in the life of British cops... it's a bit of a drag!
The British Prime Minister, Mr Gordon Brown, has recently reneged on a pay agreement with the British police force. Now, this Mr Brown is an extremely intelligent man (kind of at the opposite end of the intellectual scale to that renowned monkey-man, Mr 'Bewildered' Bush - proof that Darwin was onto something!), so I am sure that there was some subtle art in his decision. Clearly, he thought - 'I know, I'll pay them less for more and that'll prove to be just the incentive they need.' However, churlish and ungrateful lot that they are - well, they just went ballistic!imagine suc Indeed, so disgruntled are they that there are murmerings from the ranks about going on strike. Yes, that's right; imagine such a thing - on strike!
The problem here however, is that this would be illegal. However, - and here's a paradox - if they all go on strike then there'll be no-one to arrest them... unless, that is, they arrest themselves upon their return to work. Yes, perhaps that would be the correct procedure in these circumstances.
Don't follow leaders, watch your parking meters...

So DB I hope all the policemen don't get fired and replaced by rookie bobbys...Could be a fiasco all right...
Yes, our goofy boy cut funds for
first responders just after 9-11!
There wasn't ebough cash laying
around to give them a boost. But
there was enough to give the big
boys all the money they needed,
to reap and pilage the economy!
How do you figure these people?
Have a cheery old day,

Good to have you visit the Shack! I'm in curmudgeon mode today, but I'll do my best to curl my lip into a smile (not a sneer).

The definition of politician is pretty much the same everywhere, isn't it. Do you know how to tell when a politician is lying? His mouth moves! An American humorist, Will Rogers, said that Congress' greatest contribution is to get the five hundred biggest liars in the country and put them all in the same place.
Would you be a real live American? You see, for me that's an exotic and fascinating thing. Anyway, it's great to have you over at the Weedy Shack... and you're dead right about the mouths of politicians.
You should try Bush for a while. Hundreds of billions of dollars for warfare and corporate welfare, but not one cent for social welfare.
