“A cardboard Policeman has a visible presence, but is 2-dimensional, fairly static and has a brain of wood-pulp; so thinking is difficult, he can't be left out in the rain and is unable to enforce the law to any great effect.
Saying that, you have to get bloody close-up to tell it from a real one!”

“I'm still waiting for the NEP to submit a freedom of information act request on the city council to see how much money they waste on their private police force.....or civic guard as they call it.”
