Yet Another Terror Threat
William Tench

It must be every other week that the UK wall is ablaze with the accusations and threats that our dear city is once again under attack from forces who want to do it harm. Or rather, unpopular pre-teens who have been fired from their respective posts and duties in this nation.

And this week is no exception.

A quick scroll down the UK wall teaches people of yet another scary man hatching a scary plan, and this time it is LordFedoraS5, who turned to a life of crime after, wait why did he defect?

Oh right, that's it - Commissioner Elections, the most over used and most over valued piece of democracy that we are lucky enough to enjoy.

Gone are the days when the Police Commander (As Commissioners' were once known) was rotated fortnightly, among the Assistant Commanders. Gone are the months of security, safety and stability brought on by the consistency of SuperLaku, and gone are the short lived days of fixed term Commissioners, with deputies taking the place of the resigning police ruler.

Returning to the theme of this article, though not diverting from a theme of overblown parts of our lives, LordFedoraS5 is now attempting to threaten law enforcement officials with "playing dirty" by using alts and glitches to plot out his ill-thought scheme of revenge against the British people. But am I listening?

No, not at all.

Of course, while this article gives the Policeman-turned-terrorist the attention he desires so, it is best if we leave him be as he soon grows tired of throwing his toys out the pram, with no-one to pick them up.

In the end, it comes down to this - I am more scared because of LordFordora's inability to spell puny, then I am for his threats. And you should be too.

Police Elections - Democracy or A Waste of Time
William Tench

So here we go, the future of the policing service is in the balance, who will shape the police service for the foreseeable future, leading it by example and desire, with new ideas, new principals and a new direction.

Oh sorry, it appears this isn't a comedy article, let me start again.

So here we go, another in a long line of inconsequential elections, where we vote for one person to lead the police for a week or two, until they grow bored and decide they can't steer our primary domestic service into a new direction and give up.

While I am all for exercising the gift of democracy that we apply so lavishly in this nation, one must really question the need for all these endless, unimportant elections.

What is wrong with the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary choosing who will lead the police?

The reason why all these elections produce no results and no change is because people have to appeal to voters other than make the hard decisions we need our police chief to make. We need policemen leading the police, not politicians.

You shouldn't have to win votes to arrest a man.

Imagine, just for a second, the absurdness of the situation. Imagine if every leader, of every department was elected. Preposterous. Nothing would get done. Politicians make the policies, politicians play politics, politicians play for votes, not Commissioners, not Director Generals, not Intelligence Chiefs.

This is why I urge you all to stand up in the Commissioner election and say no! No, I will not vote for the leader of my police force, I want to trust the people that we, as a democratic nation, elected to make an informed and hard decision to appoint the best Commissioner for the best of the nation, not the best politician.

Then, and only then will we see change in the police.
