National Respect Squad (and a Few Mixed Metaphors)
John Reid has announced a “National Respect Squad” to troubleshoot “yobbish” behaviour.
A national ‘respect squad’ is being launched by John Reid to help in the battle against anti-social behaviour.
Local councils, MPs and police chiefs will be able to call in the squad to help tackle cases of “yobbishness”.
The squad, which will work across Wales and England, consists of 10 frontline local council and police staff.
Conservative home affairs spokesman David Davis said people wanted to see police on the streets taking action, not “another gimmick” from Mr Reid.
Just when you think these imbeciles can’t sink any lower into the quagmire of their own making, they pull another rabbit out of the hat and, bingo; inane headline of the day. Steady as she goes, then. Lord help us if this bunch of cretins ever get to do any real governing.
Oh… wait….
I notice Chris is discussing this one, too. Just love the comment from Tom:
It’s sounds more like a Sweeney pastiche than anything - bunch of heavies kicking a door down and shouting “Oi! You slag! You’d better start respecting people or we’ll shive this Asbo so far up your arse you’ll need a court order before you’re allowed to shit!!!”
You know, respectful-like.
Well, it tickled my funny bone.
And, which is more… I don’t respect them.

If things are so bad that even John Reid has lost the plot, the sooner we have a general election the better.
