Incompetent Police strike again

It will come as a surprise to few that those poor road sweepers arrested for being part of a plot to kill the Pope have been released without charge. Reports suggest that the whole case was based on overheard staff room banter about the efficiency of the ‘Popemobile’. It was solely a police operation as the security services knew nothing about it.

At huge expense to the taxpayer, the police chose to undertake a massive attack on completely innocent people. One can only wonder how close people came to being killed by the police again. It is not like this is an isolated incident; the police do this all the time.

What is very telling is that the poor men have been released so soon. Given that they were not British citizens the police could have got away with holding them for ages while they fabricated a case to cover up their mistakes. There must be some excellent evidence to show how much of a cock up the police have made.

My own experience of the police has shown me that the police at every level that I have met are incredibly stupid. We all know how violent and conspiratorial these liars are. The popular media image of highly intelligent and honest coppers is a totally fantasy.

The police are constantly stating that there is a huge threat from terrorists. I am not a terrorist (although branded as one), but I know how easy it would be to conceal a plot from the police. The fact that there are few terrorist incidents is nothing to do with the quality of security services and the police; it is because there are very few terrorists. It is all another big lie.

At the root of all this is personal greed. The previous government was hugely paranoid which was only eclipsed by its wiliness to spend other people’s money. The police managed to get their payrolls expanded by nearly a third by exploiting them. The FTAC was created by Dr David James specifically to fuel this paranoia. Recently the police claimed that spending cuts would be ‘Christmas for criminals’ and would bring civil unrest. This is purely self-service hyperbole. If the police have to resort to such emotive terms then it clearly shows just how weak their case is for continued excessive spending.

It could be argued that the arrest of the road sweepers was no more than a publicity stunt in their campaign against cuts; I believe it was overreacting stupidity. The on-going damage to these poor men’s lives will never be investigated. They will be made to suffer as the result of police stupidity or greed.
