I Guess The 'Benefits Of Such New Ways Of Communicating' Aren't Seen By Every Police Farce...

The Police Policymakers are embracing social media, with every farce in the country employing a media team, working to these guidelines. I wonder just what sort of Section 4 risk prompted them to immediately pull this happy Christmas Tweet so abruptly?


 Was it because the public immediately pointed out that the threat Santa's Little Armed Helpers were supposedly guarding us against went strangely unspecified? 

Was it because it prompted a wave of ridicule that made the social media team cry? 

Was it because it contrasted so strongly with past Christmas markets that didn't require that level of security that people asked awkward questions about why today's Christmas markets felt the need for them?

I guess we'll never know.

Such forms of communication might be useful if they did communicate but they are simply using social media as another way to not communicate. They tell us what they are doing ("Aren't we good, protecting you like this?") but not why. Or from whom. And "Why" is a very fundamental human question. Do they really think the public are so stupid as to not notice?

Totally unconnected, interesting football violence in Amsterdam. France next?

Perhaps we should invite the I***** football team over here for a friendly at Wembley. Could be fun.
