I'm beginning to wonder if someone's losing their marbles...

Gordon Brown today urged police across England and Wales to offer to walk the last mile home with people who feel unsafe after they visit the cashpoint.

What do you reckon the response would be if you asked a policeman to walk a mile home with you, 'cos you just took out £20 and feel a bit scared?

typical government, dont want to sort out the mugging problem but  are happy to nominate the already over stretched police force to waste their time on a "just in case" scenerio

What about the preceding miles.....
'I felt perfectly safe the first five miles, Officier, but this last mile is a bit scary'  

Muppet!

Proof, if ever proof were needed, that this country is in danger of going to hell in a handcart.  The mind boggles

Shows just how out of touch he is,its rare in most places to see policemen on the street,and the senior management of the police now seem to have things "organised" in such a way that it takes at least 24 hours for them to respond to a burglary.
If this is the best he can do to try to repair the damage to his reputation then he is hopefully close to the point where he will soon be carted off to a home for the bewildered.

I can see it now a policeman running past a mugging to get to the old lady that needs walking home with £20 in her purse. What a joke

Does this work if you spot a rather attracttive female officer?

"Sorry, i feel scared, can you walk me home, i just took £50 out"

10 mile walk later


"fancy a drink after that loooong walk?"

ive just re-read this, the thing is most people get mugged just as they leave the cashpoint, this is how the muggers know youve got cash on you, or is that to obvious

You're not suggesting an officer of the law partakes in an alcoholic beverage after performing a public service are you?

They will, of course, appear that way to you Mark. You are a lusty youth with you brains in your 'dangle berries' at the moment
