Prompted by your 0247 post, Jim, I have just watched Question Time on i-player. I didn't get the impression you seem to have done about overall complacency as to the police and their goings-on. There have undoubtedly been some intolerable lapses in policing lately, all of which come to light eventually, from Hillsboro to the most recent Lawrence revelations; and nobody on QT seemed to me to be trying to play these down.

Can't say I think this one of Ewan's best songs, but can see many of the arguments in favour of its sentiments, I greatly regret to say.
