No.

[dannyk13]

Why?

[aelmpvw]

only if they're useless dancers

[rockyracoon]

No. Dancing doesn’t remove their ability to see what’s going on around them.

[Rockrose]

No

[ummmm]

No.

[Rockrose]

I was at a carnival on Wednesday with my family as a sort of ‘wake’ and it was lovely to see the police having a dance and it certainly didn’t stop them arresting so people shortly afterwards.

They certainly are Spicerack, so many snowflakes for this time of year.

No good buttering up to them Mr Policeman, underneath they hate your guts.

As long as they don't appear on BGT, at a later date.

[Old_Geezer]

As long as they're improving in their ability to police a carnival then I don't much care if they occasionally jig about or not.

[ToraToraTora]

yes, they are supposed to coppering in one of the most crime ridden events of the year.

[anotheoldgit]

The police should still be in mourning over PC Andrew Harper's murder, so therefore should be dutifully standing in the background in respect.

[ummmm]

What an earth has snowflakes got to do with anything?

Were you born miserable, AOG, the police are just having a bit of fun.

[ummmm]

Stupid comparison, AOG.

//standing in the background in respect. //

what sort of a carnival would it be if the police did that? even if all of those who "demand respect" left their Rambo knives at home, even if the drug dealers decided to have a day off, even if the steaming gangs decided it was too hot for them to be bothered, the police still need to be visible. some parts of the route are awfy narrow and an accidental injury there could be serious in such a crush of humanity......

[ToraToraTora]

ban the whole tish show if you ask me, any carnivalling is just cover for the crime gangs anyway.

12.27, well that's like saying we'll stop working on all the paperwork an evidence required for the trial, because we are still mourning.
