There's a forum at work and being based in Newcastle a thread has sprung up about Mr Moat and his Police shooting hijinx. The knee jerk has been people saying that all the Police should be armed now (because of this and the cumbrian shootings). Myself and some of my more learned colleagues tried to point out that statistically these are isolated incidents and that just because they happened within 2 months of each other is not relevant. Someones actual argument to this was "Well they've arrested two people on murder charges in Rothbury so now there's 3 of them it definitely isnt isolated". </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7767&page=2#post-21481 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 12:30:13 +0000 The All New Jeni B 21481@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>My husband, coming home at lunchtime and throwing a shouty, stroppy hissy fit, because he's stressed out at work.</p> <p>I made the suggestion that perhaps he should fuck off and come back in a better mood.<br /> Or alternatively, don a police uniform and drive to Rothbury. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7767&page=2#post-21351 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 23:02:23 +0000 shitsu_tonka 21351@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks fernandomando - I keep meaning to buy some cocaine - and will do so now </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7767&page=2#post-21309 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 20:50:34 +0000 theumpire 21309@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Great writer, Bill B.
