Regarding the Gollies, Hal is 100% correct. It was nothing more than two people over-reacting whilst carrying out their duties. The gollies were returned the same day & an apology was made. It was not policy, it was someone making a mistake. Had they been carrying out detailed instructions from above to confiscate the gollies then you might have a point. However, they weren't...

As far as I can see, those of us that are arguing that there is no mysterious, faceless, all-powerful, out-of-touch, PC brigade, are the only ones to have provided any evidence so far. I really am at a loss to understand why people continue to believe the rubbish printed in papers like the Daily Express over facts & common sense.
