Surprise!

It was the National Police Chiefs Council which told the nation’s police forces to stop arresting criminals to relieve prison overcrowding.
    Next thing you know, the Chief Police Officers and then the Policing Minister were telling them to get lost. An unusual outbreak of good sense in the public sector.
    Shame all the people on that pointless council can’t be sacked without compensation and barred from all public sector sinecures for the rest of their miserable lives.
