So young, & yet so cynical, aren't we?............

You don't know some of the things I had access to during my time with one of the police forces I served with.

If it hadn't been for


A Middleton miner in 1814


there wouldn't have been an Industrial Revolution.

But I guess you'll always have

We all know history in the past you didn't have so many money men controlling the country and the world as we see at the ballot box enough people vote for the present system for it to stay forever

Don't tar them all with the same brush. The number of rogue officers accounts for a very small minority - around 5% - of the total number of police officers currently serving. They are a menace to the public and other police officers. Rooting them out and booting them out of the police service is something that needs to be done as a matter of priority.

Errr........ Sense of humour? Rogues can be a rather complimentary term, implying mischief and playfulness. I have several policemen as personal friends, including a Chief Constable (one of the biggest rogues I know) right 'down' to Sergeants. Some of the tales I've been told about what they have done while on duty are very 'dodgy.' Mr Peel has a lot to answer for! :beagle:
