I knew this number before everyone else did. It's quite an obscure number, I think I have it on vinyl somewhere.

Popular with kids in the UK, when I was one.
One? Even for the UK, that's a young age to be drinking.
And I think the definition of 'popular' is well beyond stretched, now. Unless by 'popular with kids', you actually mean ''Granny bought this as a treat for you, because the nice man in the shop told her it was popular with kids".

I'm open to being persuaded that an internal police witch-hunt may not be the best way to proceed.
However, surely the better point would be 'you're the frontline guardians of law and order. How about you stop dealing out summary justice and treat all your suspects with humanity and respect, regardless of who they are or the alleged offence?"

effete 2-shandy screamers are not gay
