Evening All

Good old Mail on Sunday, always good for rattling the pearls of the blue rinse brigade. Today’s bafflement was how come the police are beginning to look more military. To illustrate this was a pic of some poor sod who’d been issued the complete webbing kit [pouches, straps, gizmos and toys] all topped of with the MP5, a bit bigger than an I-pod but less tuneful.Much as many would love to go back to the blue serge tunic, buttoned up to the neck, it’s never going to happen. Where would you keep your cigs, lighter, spare lighter, nail clippers, mobile phone, chewing gum etc And that’s before you’ve even picked up all the toys you’re supposed to carry.
