of a black man. it is profoundly racist.

I had a brilliant idea recently, which would be to redo Uncle Tom. Except the titular character would be a complete Aryan. And everybody would hurl abuse at him for ninety minutes. Oh yes.

It is a tad uncomfortable. Cracking song, though.

Are you saying orangutans all look the same, A? Or Italian Americans?

He isnt seeing it that way and has informed me that he will be taking the matter further which appears to involve grassing to his Sergeant.

Fortunately he is an incompetent oaf so I am fairly confident he won't even be able to do that properly.

Coppers are self-righteous, jobsworth pricks these days. I had quite a few run-ins with them a few years back during my now-wife's messy divorce and nothing they did or said or did convinced me they are anything other than cvnts in severe need of stabbing.

This bloke really is a prize prick. He tried to force me to accept that, as I was not at home all the time, it was possible that my partner had attempted to murder my neighbours. When I said that technically virtually everything is possible he says 'ah, so you admit it'. I replied that I had been lead to believe that the burden of proof sat somewhere above the realm of possibility- he accused me of being evasive.

He kept saying preposterous instead of preponderance and got annoyed every time I corrected him and, in front of my neighbour, he openly called me a liar and a potential danger to society. Hence 'less of a danger to society than an incompetent oaf with a badge'.

I am happy to respect the office but only up to the point where it is tarnished by a bully with the intelligence of my dog.

It's your own fault, p. These cretins are now drilled to take the side of any minority against the white bloke. If hate crime, hate speech or any of those other made-up, Orwellian things your mate Tone was so fond of is involved, they're told to believe the complainant immediately.

They also hate people being cleverer than them. Which means they hate quite a lot of people.

THis isnt about hate speech. Its about vague, ludicrous allegations from my neighbour that are clearly designed to justify the fact that they ripped out our fence and made a big hole in the side of my house. The fact that this fat **** cant see it is just mind boggling to me.

Regardless of the nature of the dispute with the third party, being anything other than polite to a copper is like being rude to someone pointing a gun at you. It might feel good at the time but there may be consequences around their ability to abuse their power.

I agree with you, and spent three months working with this muppet to try and get these idiot neighbours off our back. I listened politely to his inane ramblings, I took all his insults, I smiled as my neighbours slandered both me and my partner as violent racists, I pretended to be upset when they told me their kids were really disturbed by the whole thing (despite there not even being a thing).

When none of that worked I began to point out the lies, contradictions, lack of formal process, contradictory evidence, tampered evidence and asked for an explanation. And yes, ultimately, when he got nasty and started threatening me I responded with some thoroughly accurate but unpleasant remarks.

Of course it didnt help. Nothing was going to help but at least it got him moving and doing something.

No, not really. I moaned a bit about the fence but just agreed to leave it. I only complained the second time when they built it to a height of 14 feet. It is genuinely ridiculous.

However, I even offered to tolerate that for a bit of peace and quiet. THey didnt think that was good enough so they went to the police and said we were trying to kill them.

THroughout the whole thing I have said I dont give a **** about the fence, I just want to be left alone.

THat is, verbatim, what he said. Our default position is to believe the victim and we need to see evidence to the contrary. It was my understanding that the legal system worked on precisely the opposite basis to that but apparently not.

I was even asked to produce evidence defending myself against allegations that they were refusing to inform me of :)

I can be a **** but I am not stupid enough to provoke somebody I am attempting to charm or convince of something.

I dont discuss music with anybody in Colchester, it only leads to trouble.

For example, I was in our local the other night for Open Mic night and some woman was doing boring acoustic songs. She finished with a slowed down version of 'I think We're Alone Now'. I chortled and asked the barman who the hell is that doing a Tiffany song.

He said ' yeah, that's Tiffany' .

I did wonder why loads of people were filming her :)
