    Didn't look much like a copper did she? I reckon she'd struggle with a couple of bags of shopping, let alone break up a scrap outside the boozer.

    seems like every day now there is someone being sacked or suspended or something for making some sort of politically incorrect comment but they never report what the comment was so we can make up our own minds.

    Like this

    https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainm...?ocid=msedgntp

    Neil Coyle, the MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, has been accused of using offensive language in conversation with a reporter at Strangers' Bar, who said it caused him to feel "uncomfortable in my place of work".

    No mention of what he is supposed to have said. Plus it's worrying that these days anyone can just claim you said something and bam! - that's it you're suspended or sacked.

    Why not just tell the person to his face that he's out of order and to pack it in? Instead they have to go running off to teacher. 'Miss! Miss! That boy said something bad!'

    I suspect the reporter is a delicate little flower who might be better off in another job where he doesn't have to encounter real life as much. Or he needs to be given a reporting job that might give him some perspective about what makes him 'uncomfortable.' Reporting from the front-line in a war for example.
