BBC NEWS | England | Dawn swoop by 500 police officers
Five men arrested. By 500 policemen. That’s 100 policemen each. They must have really expected a struggle.
Imagine my surprise at finding that the five men were neither Jedi who had fallen to the dark side, nor mutants with terrifying supernatural powers but were, in fact, some young lads who happen to live on a traveller camp. Who were accused of robbing post offices. Slightly over the top response, do you think?
If they were so concerned about these men, perhaps it would have been best to nuke the site from orbit. After all, it’s the only way to be sure(tm).
