Policing for George Dubya

[BlueSkyNick]

Just announced on the news at lunchtime that the Met Police will have 14000 officers on duty tomorrow, instead of the normal 5000.

Now I know Bush's entourage is 500+ of which 250 will be carrying shooters, but does it really take 9000 of our boys to keep them in check?

On a seperate note, good old Lizzie refused to allow the windows and walls of Buck House to be strengthened just for the visit. Quite right too.

It is a sad fact about a sad UK that the Commissioner will never be sacked for poor crime figures but let there be riots or a political assasination and he will be called to account.

Read somewhere that the several hundred US Secret Service agents are to be armed and immune from prosecution if they kill a few bystanders/protestors/potential/suspected terrorists.

Apparently they intend to bring over "miniguns" which sound innocent but are actually multi-barrelled machine guns firing at the rate of 100 rounds/SECOND.

Just the thing for a surgical shot at a potential assassin

These people are crazy

How long will they take to realise that not all problems are solved by firepower.

I think ol' Tone wanted us to get a good, close look at a proper nutter, just to make us realise that there are worse people than himself who could be elected to run a country.
At least we won't need so many police when president Arnie comes to town in a few years time. From what I've seen of his advance publicity he is bullet-proof and can look after himself without them.

Conan the Governor

Were I Californian, I think I'd be a little worried about my new Governor.

He was elected promising to tackle the budget deficit, and his first offcial move is to have an inauguration ceremony with 7,500 people invited. Welcome to the land of fruits and nuts!

On second thoughts, maybe he charged them admission?

Actually it was the opposite, They will be armed but NOT immune from prosecution, so if they use their weapons they will (allegedly) be treated the same as anbody else by the criminal justice system. (i.e the police and CPS will bugger up the evidence and they will walk free - Ok so perhaps they will be immune then!)

Sadly, Arnie (like Hitler) was born in Austria and thus, as a Goddam Pinko Foreign Faggot, can never be President of the Good ol' US of A unless they change the constitution.

I always felt that the idea of Reagan as President (or even Governor of California) was faintly surreal, but the concept of Arnie being in charge is completely barking. More medication, nurse, I need to exit reality!

Re: Conan the Governor

I read somewhere (probably in the economist so may not be true) that Arnie is not as daft as he looks. He left off making movies in order to run his businesses and turn himself into a proper millionaire, presumably in order to pay the rediculous campaign bills the americans seem to run up. I guess some of the people are hoping he can do the same for their state, before he forsakes them and runs for president, once the law is changed. Something about fooling some of the people some of the time?

Re Dubya, while he is staying with Brenda, I'd suggest someone sneaks up behind Phillip and shouts "pull". His instinct will be to seize his shotgun and blow away whatever looks most like a small wizened turkey running for cover, at which point the CIA will massacre the royal family. The savings to the taxpayer will more than pay for all that police time.

Like to see you call Shwarzebugger a "Goddam Pinko Foreign Faggot" to his face!

Our Arnie

I shouted it at him once, but he was over the Atlantic and across the other side of the US landmass at the time, so he may not have heard......

Probably best to adopt the Ronan Keating "I slapped Schwarzennegger" tactic, as related on several chat shows recently (he crept up to Arnie whilst he was asleep in an airport departure lounge, slapped him and ran for his life).

Maybe there's strength in numbers: I'll call him a goddam pinko etc. after you've greeted him with "hello Mr Shwarzebugger"! Perhaps.
