Official Madness.

It appears that one of PC Sharon Beshenivsky's killers fled the UK using his sister's passport. The apparent flaw in his plan of his maleness was not an issue as he was wearing a hijab.

I can only imagine that the nationwide media will soon call for passport officials to require face coverings to be removed at airports! Is it just me, or is anyone else disgusted at the thought that in this day and age, our officials might be reduced to asking an apparently religious woman to remove an important item of clothing? It is not as if we normally need to see the faces of those entering and leaving our country, or that this kind of disguise has been used before. I really think that if criminals are going to be resourceful enough to dress up as the opposite gender, there is just no hope for law enforcement agencies and we should just give up.

On other matters, I am pleased to see the launch of a new government initiative to combine public sector premises such as schools and hospitals in order to save money. I proudly envisage the day that I will prepare my court files on a table that can be flipped over and used for operations, and when my incapacitant spray will double as a small fire extinguisher for running into burning buildings. Soon we will be able to get members of public to carry out police tasks. If that isn't economy, what is?

Roll on, Gordon Brown.
