Terror Stopped For putting My Hand In My Pocket


'What's it got in it's pocketses?' PCSO Gollum.



(Taken from article)

For those who are unaware, a PCSO is not a real police officer, but merely a "visible and reassuring presence on the streets" employed to tackle "the menace of anti-social behaviour".

PCSOs have the same powers of arrest as any other ordinary citizen in the UK, and can arrest anyone without warrant if they know or believe they have committed an indictable offence. They can hold someone for up to thirty minutes while waiting for a police officer to reach the scene.

Essentially they are stasi-like spies and tattle tales in bright yellow jackets.

Ah! The perennial hobby bobby!

These people would have reached the heady position of parkie, those creepy ones who use to spy on little kids from behind the Rhoddendrums, or confiscate sleds in winter.

So we get 'policing' (another term I use in it's most loosest sence) on the cheap by those who would seek power but are, in effect, puppets of the political moribund.
