well that's a reief then - we can get back to the topic of...non pc terminology - interestingly on the BBC news tonight it is still black people who are pulled up more than any other race - with the various middle East wars I would have expected anyone looking vaguely arabic to be pulled over.... oooh err - officer!

I live in a predominantly asian neighbourhood up here in Burnley. The strange thing is that the law abiding people in the neighbourhood routinely get stopped for "routine spot checks" and the known law breakers and joy riders are never stopped.
That really doesn't make any sense to me.

My daughter lives in Brixton where the traffic wardens regularly issue parking tickets in the middle class areas. My daughter (who has no car) regularly complains about the obstructions caused by old bangers parked on the pavements in the less salubrious areas only to be informed that the council does not wish to risk the safety of its wardens by issuing tickets in places where it might cause an adverse reaction. Its traffic wardens have instructions to leave these areas alone!

What is the country coming to ? If those cars on the pavement are not ticketed then it is almost as good as saying that Violence rules. What happened to Law and Order? What happened to being a correct citizen?
I could get VERY UN-PC at this moment and become momentarily a member of the BNP - it does seem that the worse criminals are getting off scott free - whilst other law abiding ones get stopped for nowt....

I really wouldn't bother with BNP folks. We have 7 BNP councillors on Burnley council and each one of them is so thick they struggle to write their own names.
They are so stupid that two of them tried to recruit my step-son whilst we sat on the grass chatting to our asian neighbours. What gets me is that they looked surprised when a gang of asian youths frog-marched them out of the neighbourhood.
I grew up in North London and one week (a few years ago now), I was stopped 7 damn times and searched beacuse I was wearing a leather jacket. It only stopped when on the last occasion someone came up and to the police to leave me alone. I didn't know who he was until he introduced himself, he was "Mad" Frankie Frasier, a former member of the Kray gang. No wonder the police officer backed off fast!

A bottle two thirds filled with petrol and a box of matches works wonders, Dave !

His biography makes quite interesting reading. He must have been one of the last cons. to be flogged in prison for assaulting a prison officer.

Now there's a thought.......................
