On a day when UK Police Commissioner Blair trots out the monthly 'scare the sheep with big bad terrorist' warning and claims terror threat is "escalating beyond belief" (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/7035388.stm) (ie, tries for the umpteenth time to force through the detention without charge indefinitely Bill), the UK Police have been having resounding success in stopping the evildoers and their nefarious plans.
Perhaps the greatest coup has been in the apprehension of a notorious toy gun-wielding thug who is all of eight years old. (http://www.thisiswiltshire.co.uk/display.var.1743014.0.police_order_eightyearold_to _break_toy_gun.php)
Eight-year-old Samuel England was left in tears after a police officer ordered that his toy gun should be broken in front of him.
The family say the officer called at the family's home and said it was an offence for Samuel to play with an imitation firearm in a public place.
Samuel's mother's partner John Standen, 34, was told to destroy the gun or face the boy being taken to the police station.
"The officer told me if I didn't break it Samuel would be arrested," he said.
Having successfully threatened the eight-year old malefactor with removal (to Gitmo?) under the prevention of terrorist act and reducing him to a quivering, traumatised wreck, the goon squad returned later to threaten his sister:
His sister Sophie was also banned from riding her battery-powered Barbie car on the pavement in Beech Avenue minutes later.
The six-year-old was travelling on the pavement in the battery-powered car at three miles an hour and the officer said it is only allowed in the garden.
Well, I for one will sleep sounder in my bed tonight...except I don't live in the UK bit if I did I would....actually this is such comforting news I am thinking of moving there to feel the warm and secure feeling that must suffuse the entire being of the inhabitants due to incidents such as this.....
