The much reviled head of London’s Metropolitan Police Farce is blowing £1.7 million of taxpayers’ cash on a gang of coppers, who will trawl anti-social meeja for evidence of thought crimes. Having given up on real crime, by and large, the police seem to be taking the easy of option of going after notional criminals.
This policy has the obvious advantage that if the police are the ones who decide if a comment on InYerFaceBuk is offensive for some imaginary reason, then they will be able to ensure a conviction rate of 100%. But do we really want to pay for gangs of coppers spending their day messing about on the internet, eating pizza and swigging tea instead of attempting to get to grips with real crimes?
