Could have been a PCSO in the background I suppose but does look like it's a police officer.... still a fail though. :-)

So it's an 11 second shot with a strangely immobile person in hat and hi-viz in background.

Did you listen to it too? he said something like "I haven't seen any police around here, and I've been here a while now.", while there is a potential policeman in the background all the time.

Even if not true, it was funny.

Damn, there's no fooling you.

Your lack of sense of humour wouldn't be because it was a Labour politician, would it?

To be honest when I looked at it last night I half wondered if it was a photoshop job. In cool light of day it's more shades of the BBC reporter in Paris after first vote in Thatcher's defenestration. He's stood outside the British Embassy talking to camera when the lady herself appears in the doorway.

You want to shout 'behind youu!!'

Hmmm, now you mention photoshop I can't help but notice that the policeman has no shadow.

I'm just going to believe it's genuine because I want it to be.

Its a classic and very funny case of sods law.

Pity tho, because his message is correct, the forces of law and order have been stretched too far and too thin and the cracks are now spectacularly exploding. Londons murder rate now higher than New York, a CPS that can't cope.

London’s murder rate is only higher if you look at the the first few months of 2018. Then last full year, 2017,was lower for London and 2018 could still be lower overall

A rather silly response. No of course you can’t write off the first quarter but the murder rate is calculate year on year. The shorter the period you compare the more variability there will be.

The apparent increase is disturbing but you need to look at a longer period to see if it really is a trend.

For practical purposes we have the same murder rates in London and NY it seems. Probably very different make-up.

Glasgow, once regarded as the knife crime capital of the UK, has practically eradicated it by recent accounts

Not at all. It equates to your "lets not do anything its only a statistical anomoly'" statement.

If I had said anything like that you would have a point. I didn't , you haven't.

So where did I say “let’s not do anything” ? I didn’t, you simply chose to add that interpretation yourself.

Its heavily implied in your original statement. Wait and see.

It was neither intended or implied. I know, I wrote it.

It could be just a blip, like the one in London cyclist deaths in late 2013.

A quiet month or two later in year and we're back to mean.
