they shouldn't waste their time investigating crimes against women at all. That way we could manage with even fewer coppers.

She'll be on a Common Purpose refresher course as we type.

She'll have allocated funds to pay for the counselling of the utterly horrified.
Not daft.

[youngmafbog]

Wouldn't expect any other answer from you jno.
She is a breath of fresh air shame she is alone
Bet Dick will be gunning for her.

With oh so many senior police officers. One was bound to get things right eventually.

i hope jno that was an ironic comment......

^^^I don't think jno was being ironic - I think he was trying, and failing, to make a feeble point that if you don't investigate wolf whistling why bother investigating other crimes against women - although wolf whistling isn't a crime.

The stories in the link below are all about offense being taken, and it seems to me that offense is taken far too easily nowadays, but not only is it taken, people now make a song and dance about it, stamp their feet, and expect action.

I'm going to exaggerate to make a point (before some people take it literally - as no doubt some people would), but surely it stands to reason that if wasting police time on some hairy-arsed builder wolf whistling a pretty girl means the little old lady getting bumped on the head and her pension nicked isn't investigated properly, that the former (non-crime) should be ignored?

The police only have a finite amount of money - and always have - and therefore 'crimes' such as wolf whistling should be ignored and the resources spent elsewhere.

it just seemed like jno was saying that women aren;t to be counted. I agree about the wolf whistling, that shouldn't be a crime, it's just absurd.
