Tough on Crime (iv)

More lunacy (of the target driven policing sort) here. Police officers do what they are told and rightly so, it is after all what we pay them to do, but someone, somewhere made a wholly frivolous complaint and someone of some authority decided that it merited action. No offence was committed, no laws broken, nor any harm done but a police officer was presumably ordered to visit a mother who appears to take her responsibilities seriously and to lecture her on what some overpaid and obviously underworked clown considers the 'error' of her ways.

This sort of nonsense infects the culture of our institutions at all levels and it will take determined action to remove those responsible and eradicate it.

What amazed me was that some of the persons who commented upon the article, actually supported the action! I suppose these are the same people who continually support the disintegration of our once Great Britain.
