We always here about the police struggling to maintain a reputation of excellence and indeed the days of Sherlock Holmes are just as gone as the dodo's mating call. In a new effort to show the people what they do, the police have set up a map of England mapping out each crime in your neighbourhood. I typed in my post code (being in Slough I expected the crime rate to be high, but when moving in was assured we were in the safest part), and rather than being comforted that the police in my area were doing their jobs really well, I instead got this chilling sense of the sheer volume of crime in my local area.
So thank you, dear police, thank you for shrinking the little trust I had for those street walkers I see outside my window.
