Crime Snippets........

More police in schools...........
Andrew Adonis (what a name!) has called for more police to be stationed in schools in a bid to cut down on violent crime amongst young people.
Ed Balls (another great name!) has said teachers will be given the authority to search for drink, drugs, cigarettes and stolen property.
'Adonis - Balls fight to stop crime.......' nah - too obvious - make up your own ones for this - headlines ain't my thing!
The one phrase that got me in this article is:
'He said police officers were not regarded as outsiders in schools.' (Adonis).
Isn't that just a very sad reflection on modern society?!

Fly - tipping...............
Oh yes! Apparently there is not enough crime in this country going on that Crimestoppers UK have this on their website.
Maybe if the councils did not have so many rules, regulations and policies that they must uphold 'no matter what' - then this would not be so much of a problem.
It costs over £5 per item to have an item taken away (NOT domestic rubbish). If it is a chest of drawers they charge for the frame and each drawer separately.
There are no concessions for the elderly or those on benefits.
So I wonder why this is such a big problem then??!!!

Police to force drunks to clean up after themselves............
OK - let me know how that one goes! Apart from the obvious one of giving someone who is drunk a potential weapon - I just want to see the CCTV of a drunk cleaning up after themselves and how many actually attempt it!
Oh and congrats to Torbay Council for providing A - yes A - bucket and mop!!!
