Our new Wanker of the Week is Michael Williamson, chairman of the Cambridgeshire police authority.
It was revealed this week that the Home Office is planning to cut the number of police forces nationally from 43 to less than 30 in an effort to make their crime-fighting more effective. Smaller forces will be amalgamated, among them Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire which would join into one super police force.
Mr.Williamson's response? Interviewed by the Sunday Times, he pointed out that the current system had led to a proliferation of niggling anomalies. "For example," he said, "why should one force have three buttons on their uniform while another has only two?"
Well that's all right then. The good people of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire can sleep easy in their beds knowing that the people in charge of their safety and security have got their priorities straight. Burglars may burgle, rapists may rape and murderers murder, but at least Mr.Plod will have the appropriate number of buttons on his uniform.
Thank you, Mr.Williamson. You're like a breath of good, old-fashioned, slap-'em-round-the-'ead commonsense in this dangerous world of terrorism, child murder, internet crime and drug trafficking. Arseholes like you are just what we need. Not.
