"When, as a journalist, I have received industrial scale phone harassment or death threats,the Police have refused to do anything.Yet I am meant to celebrate them spending my taxes on this?
Does the Police Force wonder for a second why it is no longer respected by so many of us?"What is 'this'? Glad you asked, Reader:
Turns out that if you point out that 'celebrating Trans Day of Remembrance' isn't really something the police should be doing, given the lack of people murdered because of their identity vs the number of people murdered because of greed or sheer criminality, the police take umbrage.
It's almost as if they know they don't have the confidence or respect of the law-abiding members of the public any more. And more to the point, feel they no longer need to care.

NWA were right
Ah,diddums. Did some nasty person say bad words and make you cry. Never mind dry your tears with your multi coloured comforter and sit in a corner and hug it.
The Sweeny it is not.
Although it would be nice if a real bold satirist would bring us an updated
Sweeny.
Pre-dawn armed raids on tweeting grannies.
Yes we shot her. She was arming herself by putting her Hampsteads in. They can be lethal, dontcha know?
Never mind, JuliaM. You will be lauding them before the weekend arrives.
Essex plod know that respect is not a right but has to be earned. No problem.
Unfortunately they are trying to earn the respect of a small (possibly insignificant but noisy) part of the community rather than the whole county.
If they had the respect of their population at the beginning of the 21st century they have since lost it.
Sad.
"NWA were right"
About a lot of things, too...

Oh, god, YES!
"Never mind, JuliaM. You will be lauding them before the weekend arrives."
If they do something worth lauding (I can but hope...) then yes. It'd be odd if I didn't, wouldn't it?

Definitely insignificant, even if you believe the inflated claims of the activists...
