Are our streets really safe, or should the Goverment now be issuing us all with Stab-Proof vests, as they did with Gas-Masks in WW2?

Incidently isn't it against the law to impersonate a Police Officer?

What sort of like the Sun and the Mirror only more intellectual?

What a lovely mental image I now have Jake!

No, Androcles, just like the Sun and the Mirror...

Look what someone's done to the DM's wiki page...

Sure, it's cheap. But I laughed anyway.

oldgit, you'd do better to vary the source of your stories.
Quoting from the Mail sets the question up for ridicule before you've even started, sort of like saying 'the fairies at the bottom of my garden reckon the UK tax burden is too high - are they right?'.

Anyway back to the subject..
It's a strange thing to do putting her in that vest - what's it supposed to be saying? They wouldn't make her walk around wearing the traditional bobby 'tit' helmet, but making her wear the vest is just as ludicrous.

ludwig I don't need you or anyone else to tell me to vary the source of my postings. I will continue with vigor mainly using the Daily Mail, because they always get a good responce and as a bonus they always get the "Looney Left's" backs up.

Kromo, I don't sit at my computer day and night waiting to respond to your posts I have better things to do with my time. Incidently the question has dropped off the bottom.

To all those that think that everthing in New Labours garden is rosy, it stated on the radio this morning that London is one of the most dangerous cities in the world.

Was it Chris Moyles?

And yet you still did....

Lighten up. I'm just playing.

it stated on the radio this morning that London is one of the most dangerous cities in the world.

Not according to these guys (go to the slideshow halfway down).

I'm also going through pages of google to try and find city rankings by crime (which is a hell of a lot more difficult than you'd expect it to be) and haven't yet found a list. London's not come up at all though. Baghdad has, but not London.

Still, I'll post a link when I find a decent list.
