Again…

Once more our police farce descend into a level of buffoonery that is hard to comprehend. Not content with being ridiculed when this happened at the beginning of the Covid outbreak, now we have Gloucestershire plod wanting to offer advice to someone about the appropriateness of their dress.

Pranksters dressing up as ‘plague doctors’ have returned once again as police in Gloucester confirmed they are investigating a sinister figure seen scaring children near a duck pond.

Officers said they want to offer advice on the ‘appropriateness’ of the outfit, which is similar to those seen a number of times up and down the country throughout the pandemic.

At this rate, my face will be permanently resting in my palm.

The role of the police is to uphold the law and investigate crime. It is not to offer fashion advice.

A Gloucestershire police spokesperson said: ‘We are aware an individual has been seen wearing medieval style costumes in and around Gloucester.

‘While it is not an offence to dress in this way, we will be looking to speak to the individual to give advice on the appropriateness of the costume at this time.’

The 17th Century was not the medieval period, you plonker. And it is not up to you to lecture people on when and where they may wear fancy dress, which it so obviously was.

It’s obvious that these are people taking the mickey. So when some small-minded, ignorant creep phones up to complain, the appropriate response is to tell them to grow up and leave the adults to get on with the serious work – like, you know, investigating crime and upholding the law.

  1. A sinister figure scaring children by a duck pond! This whole thing is now becoming like a Chris Morris sketch: funny, but in a deeply black-hearted and frightening way.

  2. I’m beginning to think that the Marxist of BLM are right about “Defund the Police” (albeit for the wrong reasons)

    Not sure how else you can tear these politically correct idiots away from acting as Twitter, taste or morality police and back to the real problems of society like arresting drug dealers, knife crime and the rest.

    Obviously some autistic 12-year old pranking people in medieval fancy dress is far more pressing…

    • But the political correctness is the paradox that they present themselves with: How is it any different from a burqua in its colour and coverage of the body? How does it fit with the diversity and inclusive sensitivity training? What if you self-identify as a 17th century plague doctor?

  3. I’m more concerned about people who dress up in black paramilitary outfits and then pretend they are the Police.

  4. I could offer advice on the wearing of silly baseball caps by ociffers who are not playing baseball.
    It used to be that you knew that the police were not on law upholding business when they were not “properly dressed”. With the full kit on you knew they meant business.
    For example if police were seen entering a neighbour’s house with caps off it was a clear signal that no body was going to be arrested, just some witness follow up, of news of some serious accident.
    Now anything goes.
    Makes life very hard for the kissogram providers.

  5. Frightening children by a duck pond?

    It’s not a prankster, it’s “ highly likely “ ™ that the virus has mutated and now Novichok has appeared in human form.

    Ooer, ooer, ooer.
