The Anti-Social Behavioural Orders tsar is under investigation after she made a foul-mouthed after-dinner speech to a group of police officers.

Whilst I myself have the mouth of a sailor*, I rarely curse during formal dinners and I'm not in charge of the country's code of civilised behaviour.


* unfortunately, the sailor wants it back

Louise Casey even looks like someone who should have an ASBO on her. Perhaps it's method acting so she can understand the enemy.

She always seems very pugnacious.

Unclear on the concept

Lovely.

I'm reminded of the time, about ten years ago, when the (white) police official in charge of the Philadelphia Police Department's office of race relations told a black colleague on a hot day that that he was 'sweating like a nigger'. Oops. (He was promptly demoted.)

Oh, that's appalling! :-(

At least they demoted him.

I think the good citizens of the United Kingdom should find someone with standing to bring an ASBO against one George W. Bush for inciting violence and endangering the health and welfare of others, to wit, the entire world.

we would, but we're too busy trying to bring one against one Tony Blair...:-(
