You mean you see any at all? All BTP seem fit for is drinking tea in the side offices and lording it over City and Metropolitan police who have business in a station

Yes, of course, all the BTP do is sit around drinking tea in side offices

Do you work for the underground or BTP? If not I'd know who I'd listen to, station staff and underground management who are genuinly at their wits end with them or some one on an internet forum

That can't be right... I have it on good authority that they hide in side offices drinking tea all day.

You've actually highlighted one of the reasons why I still haven't decided who I'll be voting for at the next election - none inspire me with great confidence right now.

However, in removing a truly odious little dictator from his grand palace, the electorate have shown they're waking up and have served notice that nobody is now safe. If that was all this election could be about it'd have been worth it and that should put the reigns on the sort of dodgy deallings and spin New/Old/NearlyNew/SameOld Labour had, under Bliar, come to believe they could get away with ad infinitum.

If all we get out of the next election is a new government who are under massive scrutiny and therefore try a bit harder that'll be enough justification to have got shot of Brown and his useless cohorts. We know what they're about and giving them another mandate by default would be the worst possible message to send them and would simply be rewarded with yet more lies, spin, dithering and ineptitude.

How bad a job Ken did or didn't do will no doubt become clearer with the results of the various enquiries and revelations which will follow his tenure. Yes he did do some good things but for me he was little more than London's Derek Hatton and will probably emulate his socialist soulmate with a lucrative career in the media, writing books and public speaking.

Oh and as I write I'm hearing Brown making yet more excuses for the massive mess he's created and claiming the election results were all about their failure to adequately get across their message. Yet more self-denial from a man who should serve as the dictionary definition of that term! It isn't the message which is to blame it's his policy and abject failure to govern!

Yes you heard it here first
