As a sport I sometimes engage in working trials with dogs - the civilian equivalent of police and army work.Lots of coppers participate and often play the role of criminals which we send our dogs to attack. But I had a pleb-style altercation some time ago with a WPC. I normally enter the House of Lords via Black Rod's entrance which means I don't have to rub shoulders in the queue with the plebs. As I was taking a short cut through the building an officer approached me saying words that infuriate me. She said 'Can I help you?' in a tone that pissed me off. So I told her not to say that as it usually means 'Piss off pleb'.And I pointed out that what she really meant was 'You cannot go down that corridor'. She agreed, and we ended up laughing. You see, I am not a Tory Minister.

What was done to the dockers and to the miners, with the enthusiastic participation of the muskers is now going to come down on their heads. When the change comes we proles at the bottom of the heap won't notice much difference.Jemmy Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613242697482178552noreply@blogger.com
