I've been reading history, again.

1) Battle of Waterloo, collapse of French army; the poor sod left trying
to organise the retreat was called General Grouchy.

2) In 1796 the voters of Launceston unanimously (all 24 of them) elected
Captain the Honourable Pownoll Bastard Pellew, RN

Is this a bit like the last one there is left holding the baby though?

Like I often wondered what really did go on in Hitlers bunker at the end of
the last war?

Whatever went on in Hitler's bunker at the end of the war was nothing
like what went on at the Boris Garden Party. There may have been
interesting things to drink at both events but at least at No.10 most
of the participants woke up again the next morning.

I'm unforgetting what they said about Pres. Noxin, that the coverup's
worse than the crime[1]. He saw his staff all busy getting pissed and
assumed it was just the government at work as normal ? It explains a
lot, I suppose, but still ...

[1] which is not necessarily true in all cases, of course, given that at
least one of the 2 is a crime.

Have you ever been involved in attempting to get public feedback ie
consultations or surveys?
The odd thing is that you get a bias. IE those who feel strongly, always
have their say, but those who either did not read the info or could not be
bothered never do, so you implement the policy that the consultation
suggests is most popular, even though only about 5 percent of the eligible
people bothered to give their views, then when the scheme is put into
practice, all hell breaks loose from those who never bothered as they say
they were not consulted. I guess its much the same as democratic elections,
and is why, I think, I'm in favour of compulsory voting.

As I've said before, we often expect our leaders to be role models and act
responsibly, but sadly they are just like the rest of us and will try to get
away with stuff if they think they can. There is no info in that story of
how many people got Covid. It would be interesting to find out. I'd have
thought most of the participants in all those press briefings were far more
likely to get it than a load of people in a big garden would. I guess a lot
of what went on needs looking at. Back at the start care homes were not
protected well enough, and I know several people who despite PPE still got
Covid while in NHS hospitals due to poor practices.

After all, as Boris had had Covid, one might suspect he might be immune to
some extent.

The point is that in this and other cases which are coming to light,
those who set the restrictive rules for the rest of us, no matter what
our immunity status, were blatantly ignoring those same rules.

Boris has also,on many occasions, completely ignored the mask rules in
places where there were vulnerable people. In one case, this directly
led to an assault on ward staff at a hospital where he ignored the rules
in a ward, leading to "If he doesn't wear a mask, why should I have to?"
<Thump>

Do as I say, not as I do? Not a good way to persuade people to do the
right thing.

Even the Queen follows the rules, as we saw at Prince Philip's funeral
service.

Personal past experience make me want to write:

If somebody stops you as you walk down the street, pushes you against a
wall and demands you empty your pockets, provide proof of where you live
and your name, then takes your phone and uses it;

It's one law for a citizen and called a mugging
and another law for the cops and called a stop and search.

Just one example of us all (generally) accepting it's one law/rule for
us and a different law/rule for 'them'.

If you think for a couple of minutes you'll be able to come up with many
other us/them instances that we accept every day.

I'll start a list.
I may not drive my car at 70mph along the road where I live but the fire
and ambulance may and do.

I may not enter your home and remove property but the bailiffs may.

The police have to justify their actions, and while they are allowed by
the law to ask to see and inspect your possessions under certain
circumstance, they are not allowed to keep them without going through
the due process and must return them in due course. A mugger will just
take them. If a cop takes your phone or any other item *and keeps it
without giving you a receipt*, he will be prosecuted, just as the mugger
would if caught. If a cop hurts you, they can be and are prosecuted, and
sentenced if found guilty.

This is not the case in many other countries.

> Just one example of us all (generally) accepting it's one law/rule for

Same law. Extra laws apply to the police, who are permitted under those
laws, made on our behalf, to do what they do. If they exceed their
powers, they get a very large, heavy, book of laws thrown at them. If
you don't like this, then there are democratic processes to change
things. If you were to be sworn in as a police officer, you have certain
powers that others don't, but also certain restrictions on your
behaviour that others do not have.

Sure, but if you look into the details, there is normally a law, passed
by our democratically elected representatives, to justify it.

The laws and rules of the road apply equally to the emergency services,
though a blind eye is turned to any infractions *until something goes
wrong*, in which case the penalties are normally the maximum allowed. If
you check, you will find that a police car, ambulance or fire appliance
on the way to a "shout" very rarely exceeds the speed limit, relying on
their warning devices to get a clear path. If they hit and kill or
injure a pedestrian or cyclist, they are subject to the same penalties
as you would be if you had done what they did. One example I have seen
was a police car that went through a red light, hitting a vehicle that
was crossing its path, having passed a green light. The police driver
would have been prosecuted at a minimum for dangerous driving, and he
would have pleaded guilty. Nobody was hurt, as far as I could tell from
a few yards away, as the driver was having a heated discussion (On his
side) with both coppers.

> I may not enter your home and remove property but the bailiffs may.
>
Only under instructions from the court, and the first time they call,
they may only enter your premises if you give them permission to do so.
On subsequent visits, as you have already given consent, they may enter
at will. If they enter without permission, and remove stuff,that is
regarded as theft, rendering them liable to prosecution just as you
would be. The only exception to this is when they have a warrant issued
by the court, which, IIRC, specifies the items to be removed. This
warrant is often the result of refusing to allow them to enter in the
first place.

My point, though, was that the Prime Minister and others in the
Government are bound by the same laws we are, and if they flagrantly
break them, we are entitled to ask questions and take legal actions to
get rid of them. Breaking the law is not a good way to encourage others
to comply with it.

You would rather a cop was not allowed to arrest anyone? You would
prefer that someone who has had stuff stolen for them had no right to
recover those goods? You would prefer that a fire engine was not
permitted to get to a fire or road accident as quickly as possible? Or
an ambulance fail to reach a heart attack victim in time because they
would automatically get done for passing a red light?

Or are you just annoyed that a police officer legally used what he
considered and would have had to justify as "reasonable force" to deal
with you? If the law was broken, did you complain? If not, why not?

"The Police", in the idealistic abstract, may be as you describe it.
Many people will testify that actual uniformed humans don't always live
up to this description.

Being a white man with a midle-class voice, I have only experienced the
mild fringes of their dark side, but I will still say that the more
someone likes being in a position of power the less they should be
trusted with it.

And if anyone says anything about only a few bad apples, I will remind
them that the full saying was that one bad apple spoils the whole
barrel. And go on to wonder how long it is since anyone kept apples in a
barrel ?

I keep the ones from my tree in a wooden box. And even if I carefully
wrap each one separately in newspaper, if one of them goes bad, if I
don't catch it in time the rot will spread.

They're not the top, they're what provides bouyancy for the rich, thick
and full of clots layer. And to a lesser extent to the rest of us[1],
depending on the prejudices of the day.
