European Police
 

Having just come back from Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, and Germany I would like to compliment the various Police forces. All potential trouble-makers were quickley removed from the streets. Compare that to back home in Britain, where thugs and criminals are allowed a free reign of terror, while the police turn a blind eye.

That's six countries visited & you saw the Police in action in all of them ??? <BR>Sounds like you had a hell of a time !

If they so are tuff on troublemakers, how come they missed you? <BR>(NB there is currently some debate in the UK about the police taking extra action to move beggars along. <BR>I suspect that this is the source of this troll, who seems scared of "potential trouble makers".) <BR>

Most of the rest of us think that British police are the ideal, not German - - to wit the following: <BR> <BR>In heaven... <BR> <BR>the cooks are all French <BR>the mechanics are all German <BR>the lovers are all Italian <BR>the police are all British <BR>and the Swiss are in charge of everything <BR> <BR>in hell... <BR> <BR>the cooks are all British <BR>the mechanics are all French <BR>the lovers are all Swiss <BR>the police are all German <BR>and the Italians are in charge of everything <BR>

Yes, I've seen the above. However, run-down housing estates in Manchester are like a war- zone. I'm baffled as to why tourists want to visit cities like Manchester, and Liverpool.

Guildford Four, Birmingham Six, the Stalker affair, etc., etc., etc. Who can provide even more examples of fine British police work? <BR> <BR>However, in defense of the British police, they (supposedly) can't just wade in and start bashing skulls, such as is commonplace in Eastern Europe. They have rules to follow, and most do. I'd rather have more crime than an oppresed police state.

Liverpool - Beatles stuff, football <BR>Manchester - music, dance clubs, football
