I met a disgruntled war veteran who was visibly angered by my ANTI WINSOR sign. He wants to be part of the private police. I said, "It would be controlled by spooks and you would be dragging people out of their beds in the middle of the night and killing them". He said, "Good. I need a job".

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the UK already pretty much a Police State? What with all the CCTV and laws preventing private weapons ownership?
I think that you guys are already there and since the populace has rolled over, the Pols will just keep taking more.
I truly feel bad for you all.
Hell, I feel bad for us here in the US as we seem to be following in your footsteps.

The ordinary PC Plod has lost the trust and faith of the British public who view them as nothing more than political tools.
The intended private police would be ten times worse than what we have now. What we have now isn't good enough. To improve matters I say we listen to them now and force them to honour their oath.
You shouldn't pose as a spokesman for the "British public". Have you polled the "British public"
