Police closing motorways again

[codprawn]

Talking of Police helicopters I was looking at the Mersey website

http://www.merseyside.police.uk/html...outs/index.htm

Very open and transparent about the "important" work the helicopter does. looking at most of the calls they are false alarms or "suspect checked correct" another fabvourite seems to be "High visibility patrol". Just look at some of the incidents and stop and think what each point REALLY means.

Bear in mind the Police helicopter cost about £5,000,000 a year each to run - that's an extra 200 Policemen on the beat per helicopter.

The Police USED to be about preventing crime - nowadays they just make a token effort AFTER the crime has been commited.

very true - where has the local policeman gone in the rural areas that prevented any problems by just being around - nobody knew where he would pop up next.

Now't token about all the speed cameras they seem to be able to man, apart from that I think your right ( get me a psychiatrist I just agreed with Codders)

[codprawn]

Actually in South Wales they can't even afford to man the cameras any more - they are parking the vans up with nobody in them!!!

Codprawn this is a ridicilous thread, I dont think it is the Motorway closing you have a problem with, but Authority in general, and of course New Labour, the Police the Irish, etc etc

Is this they type of stuff we can expect on Ribnet in the winter when the ribs get put away .


Police closing Motorways , what next if they didnt close them you would be jibbering on about something else!

Your post made me think, but rest assured this is not aimed at yourself, but is a more general comment.

I admit I do have a problem with Authority, New Labour, and sometimes the Police, but have spent some of the happiest years of my live working out of Dublin, and spending time working all around the world with Irish colleagues who rapidly became friends.
Also, who puts their RIB away for the Winter? Some of the best boating I've done has been in a deserted Solent and Devon coast in December and January, so what if its cold, or the RIB may get dirty not tucked up in a shed somewhere.

I think my real point is that we all agree and disagree with different things, and thats one of the best things about this site.
But by using the site we have to understand that its an open public forum for people from all walks of life, and we can't expect to find everyone in ageement about everything.

To nail my colours to the mast, I find Codprawn very entertaining, because I take every oppertunity to soak up other peoples views in the hope that I'll become a much more informed and balanced person. I also enjoy the real characters in life, and find quiet, dull, sheep like people, very very boring.
I actually agree with a lot he says, and sometimes feel that I wish people would disagree a little more quietly, but then that goes against my own principles.

What are you on about - you don't even have motorways.........

As to a problem with authority it's funny but most people are anti establishment when they are younger but come to accept it as they get older. Now I haven't changed so I can only assume the establishment has!!!

Might be Motorways to you but they are dual carriageways to us.

I've driven a fair few of these roads and most are just like UK town by passes.

Who has the correct terminology ?

Codders is always wrong, but that is Ok as it reminds the rest of us that we are always right. What would we do without him?
