An Apple a Day...

Violent crime in Britain is skyrocketing. Smash'n'grab robberies, front door burglaries, rape, murder... all are climbing at fantastic rates. Homeowners can no longer own firearms, or any means to protect themselves, and the criminals are given more rights in court than the victims. The police complain they simply can't respond to all the calls they get--and rightly so. It's not the job of the police to protect a man's castle, despite what idiot politicians may say. But they've been put in that position, so they have to at least give it the old college try.

So, what are the bobbies doing with their limited time and resources? Why, using a plane, a helicopter, and a patrol car to chase down a 23-year old nurse on her way to work, of course! What heinous criminal endeavour was she engaged in that required such attention and pursuit? Eating an apple.

What? You mean you don't consider eating an apple while driving to be a crime? Neither does anyone else in the world with an ounce of common sense. Apparently, we can now exclude the entire British legal system from that category.

Believe me, I'd like to give the benefit of a doubt to the bobbies, here. But I see no way to do so. They wasted enormous time, effort, and manpower on something so trivial, it baffles me to even try and understand their thought processes.

I smell an impending revolution in Great Britain.
