"British police must be trying to do all they can to ensure they're the most hated in the world"
So sayeth commenter Orwell's Ghost about
this story:
Police responded after motorists complained they were mistaking hobby riders, of which there are about 3million in Britain, for mounted police officers.
And by 'responded', of course, they don't mean 'laughed at the stupidity and illiteracy of drivers who mistake
Prunella on Guzzle for a mounted police unit'...
Assistant chief constable Ron Hanson, the association’s head of mounted policing, wrote: ‘Anyone possessing these products is at risk of breaking the law, namely section 90 of the Police Act 1996.’
After the horse riders, no doubt
they'll come for the cyclists...
