It's always the same: "Why aren't they catching real criminals?"

Yet they're the same people who'll tell you what a great job Zero Tolerance Broken Windows Pseudo-Fash policing is, and we should give it a go, but the human rights types have it all sewn up.

Rudy Giuliani fixed New York with it. It's a paradise now. Except for that week when London's stats outstripped it. Then it was the archetypal urban nightmare again.

As a caller to James O'Brien said the other day, people are in favour of policing everyone except them.

"Isn't it reassuring to have bobbies on the beat around here?"

*Sees cops walking past house*

"Aaargh! Police state!"

Statues and Phil Spector. The twat.

You do for starters. Never stops banging on about it.

Who gives a monkey’s what an obscure provincial ‘professor of black studies’ thinks about the legacy of a Prime Minister who saved Britain from tyranny and helped defeat a truly evil empire?

Thanks to all those of you who have written to assure me there was a royal connection behind the old Black Boy & Trumpet pub in Peterborough.

Attack piece on Nicola Sturgeon. The point being?

They've crushed Labour and the DUP.
Shinners wlll always be beyond the pale to a Mailite.
Last domestic enemy standing is the SNP.

They've been stoking it since December, when a staffer must have realised that Holyrood elections were coming.

My facebook page has suddenly filled with unrequested videos of Douglas "Blank Expression" Ross telling me to defeat the SNP.
He's after some grand alliance of Lib Lab Con to defeat independence.

Lots of effort and money going into this.
See also Johnson and Hancock "Our great union" yesterday.

The problem for the English Tories is that they've got nothing except "Our great union".
The likes of Ross will have a couple of Orange cards and a dog-whistle up their sleeves.

When does HS2 become a good thing? When the hippies hate it!

It's all here. Minor sleb from 25 years ago, Minder references, 1970s pop, hating the BBC, sneering at BLM, and gay jokes.

Nice bit of Mailite Top Trumps BTL - being against something they don't like gets a narrow points win over agreeing with their icon.

Good luck with that. Corbyn's Remain campaign is more inspiring than trampsing around Scotland with Bozo and Gove waving Union flags.

His column only managed to muster up 130 comments and most of them seem to be opposed to HS2. How could he be so out of touch with public opinion in this country?
