Tend to agree with Jim, here. Nice thread with an unnecessarily snide title.

But if people are really desperate for the folk police to turn up at their door and, erm, chastise them, maybe we could oblige? So anyone want to be recruited into this fine body of men and women? And sort out a constitution and a few rules? And what punishments are appropriate and who to punish? And what weapons to use to beat people with? And what is reasonable force and what constitutes folk police brutality? Like, feel the weight of my folk truncheon?

Or would we also need a folk judiciary to keep things fair? After all, we wouldn't want a folk police state, would we?

Folk prison, too, maybe?

Bit silly really, isn't it?

Is it just me, or is the term 'folk police' a pile of shite?

Happy new year,

Nigel
