Welcome to Great Britain, we would kindly ask that you drop the 'Great' 'cause we ain't no more. Have a nice day, preferably with your cranium intact.

Oh dear... maybe somebody will see sense :hmm:

Thats what happens when public service becomes a profit seeking one. Its all about the bottom line. And how could they justify that him standing in the way of armed thugs was safer for everyone? He was nearly killed when he did what the thugs wanted him to do!

If I was him I would tell them to get stuffed and go and stick that suggestion up their jumper where it belongs.

yes...so he may well be expected to compensate his employers for the loss of their money to the tune of around 3,000 pounds....:hmm:
and if he doesn't pay or can't what then--no doubt an eventual jail sentence---certainly he will lose his job in that scenario.. if indeed he ever feels recovered enough to want it anyway--he'll have a criminal record too..

can the police force government and the entire establishment be taken to court and charged with perverting the course of justice...?

hopeless of course...no doubt the criminals find all this extremely entertaining..

"I don't think our bureaucracy is even that bad."

i kinda think that PC is actually post ironic feminism...which is a bit mad...but probably true..at least the thought isn't pc..stands to reason
that as our government has a large percentage of women MP's ...that at some level women MP's should take some of the responsibility..or is that so outrageously un pc...who knows...shhhh big brothers coming..
PC thinking kinda reminds me of something...it's rather like being nagged to death...
tell you what allso..having thought about it...it kinda reminds me of something else ...school yard bullying..that "lets make this guys life a misery..and behave as if what was happening to him was an entirely trivial set of minor events that any normal person could deal with without a seconds thought" reverse logic bizaareness that leaves you wondering if you have just been transported to an alternative reality... :hmm:
a horrific situation in the school yard..utterly unspeakable when it is enforced thru legislation and government
reminds me of a lot of things...

the series of events that could happen to this postmaster simply because he dared to behave like a decent human being- he bucked the system--makes every one else look bad...heaven knows if he's allowed to get away with it we all might be expected to behave decently--and that would be the ultimate in non PC

because PC is about making every-one else behave decently ,whilst you sit back and have a good laugh because you are too wise to fall for that old gag..
