Police State?

Post by IDontBelieveIt »

So whilst the MET are busy shutting up MP's from telling us the truth -

MPs have privileges that the public don't.

At its most basic, it means they have complete freedom of speech in Parliament and don't have to worry about defamation.

Is the prime minister to be held responsible for the actions of every person in the country? According to the short stroy you linked to the two people arrested were in police training. They were not being trained to be "drug dealers". If anything we should be praising the police for apprehending these two before their training was finished.

Your take on the story is like a headline from The Mail.

"Tomato plants" is a euphemism for cannabis plants. The police know that drug growers have duped little old ladies that they are growing tomato plants when they really grow cannabis.
Duped

A judges lets a cannabis grower off because it's "only like growing tomatoes" Let off

So it's not surprising the twa - er I mean police bust up a little old ladiy's home for growing tomato plants Police Cockup

Sorry Geewizz but far too many politicians walk away from their responsibilities whist lining their own pockets.

The buck stops with Brown, and that is all there is to it as it does with Chairmen/women and CEO's of companies. He is paid a reasonable salary for the so-called pressures he is under.

It is not good enough for Brown to say "Oh! I did not now about that!" A bit like Bliar saying "Oh! I did not now that our soldiers would be killed in Iran or Afghanistan (now how do I make my next £12M? Oh I have already done it)"

I can remember some t*at of a politician saying that our soldiers probably wouldn't have to fire a shot when they took over Helmand Province.
