SOMETHING FAMILIAR

Dear Ed,

Re: Don't tell the police - tell it to the fairies

I'm afraid this story has something of a repeat about it. A reporter for the Daily Telegraph had her handbag snatched whilst in view of a CCTV camera in a cafe. A year on and the police have still not collected the tape for viewing.

And yet, on the same spot a couple of months after the handbag snatch, she was seen in her car encroaching on the bus lane too early for a left hand turn; within a couple of weeks she had been fined a given points!

Have we gone mad? Do we get the police force we deserve?

Regards,

Lazarus
