I&#39;m reminded of this:<br /><br />&quot;No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man&#39;s death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.&quot;Tom Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903923157306717004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14422435.post-39865136836370913142010-07-11T13:43:05.843+01:002010-07-11T13:43:05.843+01:00The whole thing has been farcical, a wonderful exa...The whole thing has been farcical, a wonderful example of what happens when someone threatens the police rather than the general public, with the media wholly complicit in the entire charade.septicislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03369157723084834549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14422435.post-69766645896455819372010-07-11T07:57:57.115+01:002010-07-11T07:57:57.115+01:00And what about that posed group pic in the Star? ...And what about that posed group pic in the Star?<br /><br />Heckler &amp; Koch man more interested in the camera than his target and Taser man looking suitably fierce - with his cock-eyed oversized helmet an&#39; all. <br /><br />Comical is the word but, hey ho, it&#39;s what the punters want to see doncha know?<br /><br />Slightly off tabloid-press topic but, what about that uniformed lady police superintendent &#39;spokes-person&#39; on tele last night? Anybody see that? - a very strange performance indeed. Not sure how to characterise it - a combination of facial expression, hairstyle, tone and cadence of voice I guess, but my wife burst out laughing when it came on. Monty Python could certainly have made good use of it.Sabretachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652655872639394084noreply@blogger.com
