On my way to Richmond Park yesterday I was told off by the Police on two separate occasions. Once for going through a recently erected No Entry sign near Ludgate Circus where they had just closed the roads for the Lord Mayor's procession. We were given a very stern and patronising warning by a young constable. Later, when passing Vauxhall Bridge on the Embankment, I edged ahead of the stop line at a red light to have a Police Woman yell at me from a passing van. On neither occasion did I endanger my own or anyone else's lives. They were simply enforcing the rules; the very rules that they are so happy to flaunt even when it comes to risking the lives of others.
