Police officers told a shopkeeper to take down a sign calling shoplifters “scumbags” because it could cause offence, sparking a free speech row.

Replace it with one “Coppers are scum”.

If you don’t like it the best way to make your feelings felt is not to shop there.

What this country needs is a police force.

“We don’t care about people stealing from you. We can’t be arsed and it’s too much work. But if you upset them, you’re nicked!”

And they wonder why the public don’t have any respect for them?

The government is going to extreme lengths to silence the public resenting having to attract people from primitive cultures coming here and living it up at the public’s expense. At least when the Vikings came to rape and pillage they had to fight for it. They weren’t ferried in by the King who then used his army to protect them from the locals…

I dunno; this is feeling rather like the Danegeld era; government power used to tax the native people to pay people coming in by boat.

As Kipling said:
“never pay any-one Dane-geld, no matter how trifling the cost. For the end of that game is oppression and shame, and the nation that plays it is lost”

Formed after a string of rapes, sexual assaults and brawls on and around Bournemouth beach.

Interesting to see the media articles all just talk about people “from Poole”, “from Bournemouth”, “from Hackney”. But then the police release pictures of the suspects…

And of course “Bournemouth’s Labour MP Jessica Toale … warns of dangers posed by Safeguard Force … urging that public safety be left to trained and authorised officials”
https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/25376063.bournemouth-mp-warns-dangers-posed-safeguard-force/

Leaving public safety to “authorised officials” worked well for the people murdered, stabbed and raped on her patch, didn’t it?

That was interesting BiND. Tried to look at your second X link but the video refused to load. So I tried on my browser running through a US VPN IP where it loaded perfectly. Presumably I’ve been interdicted by the Great European Firewall.

A least he got a couple of coppers in his shop for a while, which is generally a lot more than happens when you nab a shoplifter.
Like the (reality) joke about catching a burglar in the act and the police are too busy to come over, so you say youve misgendered them and half a dozen they turn up pronto…

The Telegraph keeps trying to prop up these cunts as if we don’t remember who was in power for 14 years straight until 2024:

On Friday, Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said:

Nobody cares. Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off. If I saw a Tory in my garden, I’d compost it.

BiW – If I want to see a tory in my garden, I just look under the rose bushes.

Make sure Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly aren’t watching.

Q. Why did the policeman cross the road?

A. To deliver the child sexual assault victim back to her Islamic paedophile gang rapists!

RichardT – that’s why we don’t want to live in a brown country.
