A Once-In-A-Lifetime Event...

A pony-and-trap race was stopped in its tracks by Essex Police officers.
Officers were deployed to Thurrock and Brentwood on Saturday morning following reports of a race set to take place.

Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles..! 

A spokesman for Essex Police confirmed officers were called out on Saturday to prevent an event from taking place.
He said: "We have received information relating to pony and trap racing in locations in the Brentwood and Thurrock areas.
"Officers have been working to disrupt this activity and prevent it from taking place."

Now keep it up!

Yes, the road was blocked by a large number of Essex Plod taking the knee ... Pikey Lives Matter!

The articles really only mentions that a "Traffic Regulation Order" had been passed by Thurrock Council. No mention of any actual arrests or charges. Was anything actually done?

Is Cher still allowed to sing about Gypsies, tramps and Thieves? I thought they were one and the same thing.

LOL!

Arrest? Charge? Well, baby steps, eh?

"Is Cher still allowed to sing about Gypsies, tramps and Thieves?"

I'm astounded no-one's called for it to be banned. Yet. I do remember with great fondness John Larroquette's scene in '10th Kingdom' though!
