... long suffering, law abiding, tax paying citizens who desperately need to believe that 'The Police' are actually on their side 0. A cynic might say that recent measures allowing secret inquests and redefining the circumstances in which anonymous evidence can be accepted are now readily comprehended but a genuinely included Briton of the 'nations and regions' would simply yawn and go back to his tartan tranquilised sleep muttering 'move along citizen: there's nothing to see here'.
In a previous war against tyranny it was sometimes remarked that not all Germans were Nazis, which was indisputably true, but when they were all wearing jackboots and coal-scuttle helmets it was rarely easy to tell the good from the bad. It is becoming harder and harder for essentially decent people to believe that 'The Police' are essentially decent and we are rapidly approaching the point at which the indisputably good police officers will be those no longer serving in 'The Police'.

(Spelled/ Spelt? Sorry. Will have to look it up!!).
