A comment on 21st Century Policing

Ask A Drunk : One Thread

21st Century Policingdoes not exist, its fabric is an elaborate but fictitious system of yarns spun on the wheel of a bilateral mega mind who's garments disguise only the fact that we live onboard a thought train of palpitating anti-law. But who am i to comment, as i sit here on my back wrenching IKEA chair slowly sipping from a polycarbonate cup of luke warm jazzmental tea. I feel the yarn, it tugs and twangs at my coxicks as though i were but a small puppet being manipulated by Japeto and his small army of Japeto-ites. But im not the only one i might add. Many of us are forced through this complex and sophisticated network of gel-mirrors in a vein attempt to convince us that our distorted reflections are in fact people desperately trying to break free of 'The Beast'. Balls i say, balls! I will not enter the cave!! Nor will i let any man cast his shadow towards it, for we all free individuals under one authority. Me!!

Discuss.

Your policingconsists merely of a hidebound bunch of slackjawed jackanapes skulking behind the immmaculately trimmed box hedges of a cowed and unimaginative suburbia (though if I may call your attention to the hedges in question I would like to highlight that they have been trimmed in the Italianate "Basilico" manner so beloved of c19th topiary enthusiastiast, and founder of the British Institute for the Trimming and Cutting of Hedges, Dora Whelks. And not in the more daring and adventurous styles of such post-modern gardeners as Alan X or Strimteam3000, whose recent avant-garde styles at Garden Expo in Tring led leading gardener Dr. Stefan Buczaski to exclaim "but there's no hedge! NO HEDGE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"). On the subject of your little ego-boosting nano-coppers on the other hand, I have nothing to say.

My answer would be to put more armed topiarists on the streets, with a zero-tolerance policy of strim to kill.
Harsh, but fair.

I've been to that pub, 'La Lanterne', and it's a dive. Those Leylandii twins never buy a bleeding round either!
