Strange Cops on Bridge

10.09.2003 20:36

Re your comment on the strange looking cops in Land Rovers I think that you will find that they are MOD Plod or Ministry of Defence Police. I first saw them in the area of the Molesworth Peace demos in the 80's. Nasty bastards they are.

They used to only have jurisdiction on or in the vicinty of MOD Property such as bases etc and also in the centre of squaddie towns to deal with the fights etc.

However that nice Mr Straw who is now our Foriegn Secretary when he had the Home brief extended their powers so that they could act anywhere in the UK.

What great defenders of freedom Nuke Ligger are.
