How stupid can the police be? On Monday, they decided to do a “police census” at 8 o’clock in the morning just outside the Swiss Cottage pub in Shoreham.

Do they do these things to wind everyone up?

People are trying to get to work on time and do not appreciate being held up and made late for work because of this nonsense.

If they have to do these things, can’t they do it after rush hour or something?

My council tax goes to fund the police and I am not happy that it is being wasted on these stupid exercises. This is just one of many expenses I could list demonstrating how the police waste money!

I am thinking of filing a loss of earnings claim to police.

I expect to be reimbursed.
