Rod of iron
I read Rod Liddle's piece in the Sunday Times yesterday about thuggery in the Metropolitan Police. Strangely, the night before, the boys and I had watched The Changeling
on DVD. The film, stars Angelina Jolie and is set against the backdrop of police corruption and thuggery in late 1920's Los Angeles. Given the Wall Street Crash was just around the corner and the 'Crunch' affecting economies today, I found the symmetry interesting. Unfortunately - and because it affects us all closer to home - I found the alarming burglary statistics in the same paper more of a concern: the county of Cambridgeshire is witnessing one of the steepest rates of increase in the country.
However, as we are informed or entertained by the media, real life may paint a different picture. Our son got attacked in Cambridge City Centre recently but I have to say the police follow-up was fantastic and I couldn't fault it.
