Remember, if you give someone a uniform and two people to shout at, they will think they run the World!

Madness. I wonder if it had been a large group of youths dropping kebab wrappers at 2am he would have been so willing to challenge them

I am often amazed by the tameness of British crowds. I know places where such a person would have been chased away and probably given a few licks to teach him a bit of respect for those he is employed to serve.

Perhaps even a light lynching isn't the best of ideas. But what was to stop the crowd from drowning the twerp's voice with cries of: 'Ignore the prat! If he dares give you a bit of paper give it to us and we'll tear it up to show him what litter really is! Go forth and multiply, you jumped-up little carphound!' etc. etc.

I'd have a few words for the council supporting such behaviour too. Who do these overpaid idiots think they are, and who do they think we are?

The trouble is - you just can't get the rotten tomatoes nowadays.

I blame the EU.

And of course folk like him can vote and sadly, breed too. Doesn't bear thinking about.

I think jobsworths are always with us. There are endless stories of them even during the war, when there was supposed to be a more important task in hand.

But the really sad thing is that everyone else pays attention to them.

Ah yes. Billy Brown of London Town. And he was invented and paid by London Transport. Until he was ridiculed out of existence.
