i'm not really in favour of moral equivalence... but
i got assaulted by a group of lads in a school playground whilst teaching, they'd come in off the street and i'd asked them to leave. the police made portentious sounds about how 'it was a very serious matter' and it was really 'important that this kind of thing didn't happen' and also mentioned the stabbing of Phillip Lawrence, etc. i spent three hours leaving a statement in marylebone police station, they said they were going to pursue it actively.
18 months later i haven't heard a FUCKING WORD. not a thing.
two weeks ago a copper and spastic in a CSO outfit stops me for STANDING over my bike on a pavement, not riding it, i'd pulled off theobald's road to answer my phone. he threatens me with a £100 fine, a criminal record, and is generally a rude moron with no brain, just a small sub-section of brain matter that tells him over and over 'you have got a brain, jeff, and you are a force for good'.
Being a bit of an empiricist lately, i have only this to say, they can go FUCK THEMSELVES.
