Did someone mention customer satisfaction surveys in respect of the police, along the way? (Even Blair, [the Sir Ian version], perhaps?) I'd rather be protected from terrorists; murderers; those inclined to "man slaughter" when the situation arises; rapists; muggers; thieves; yobs full of ill intent, etc. But a placard bearing accountant, or otherwise, on this island of free speech - I can cope with that. Er, excuse me, it is still an island of free speech here, isn't it? Perhaps the accountant and Henry Porter could make a claim under the Human Rights Act? Personally, I find that very frightening.
