RoryF, I wish you wrote a blog. I tend to avoid reading the police blogs I've come across, because I find their "anti-PC" rants annoying in the extreme. Yep, sure, I love it when people in the public sector point out examples of bureaucracy-gone-mad, but when they start raving about how they're sick of having to pay lip-service to equitable treatment of group X (Asians, gays, blacks, women whatever), unlike the good-old-days of the 70s, my brain switches off. I'd love to see something with more perspective and a decent degree of neutrality, but a real view of the inside, which it looks like you could provide in spades. Please consider it.
