"Catching muggers and buglars are also a "ineffective use of resources" explained Fox. "Catching criminals outside of cars is extremely difficult and time consuming. We did get one image of someone leaving the scene of a crime clutching a colour television but he wasn't wearing a numberplate so we have been unable to identify him. Short of filling the streets with well-trained, motivated officers constantly on the look out for wrongdoing, I fail to see what we can do about it these problems."

Just fecking brilliantly written and funny as ****!
Just how close this is to the truth is anyones guess but i recon not far off!

Very good - and they wonder why nobody goes into Northampton shopping anymore ! (that may also have something to do with the Albanian gangs that hang around though )

Northants police, concentrate on speeding traffic and nothing else.

Neighbour was burgled while away last year, I called 999, they didnt turn up. The house was left unsecured for a few days, and police turned up after the neighbours arrived home and called them.

I am in the minority of northants people without points on my licence.

Now I know why we were always advised to lock the car doors driving through Northampton.

Angry

Someone (I hope you suffer a horrible injury soon, you piece of ****) tried to nick our lorry on Friday night - smashed the steering lock, buggered all the wiring up etc. Village shop was also broken into so I rang the Old Bill and got a recorded message to ring some civilian in Daventry. Upshot was that there was no point in coming out (probably too busy nicking people on the A43 and M1 in the name of road safety) but here's an incident number.

Bollocks to that. I pay £1,400 a year council tax, a significant chunk of which goes to the police and their value-add is zip.

As I look out of the window the removals guys are doing a stirling job of shifting us down to Wiltshire and I cannot wait.

Cheers
Kav

Had the Gypsies outside the office for two weeks, They fired an air rifle through the office windows twice while staff were working, They keyed three cars in the car park and vehicles were hit by numerous stones! Human **** all over the place and kids banging on doors and windows. It was like being prisoner for two weeks. Staff stopped coming in.

Guess what two weeks and NO police, this is in Northampton. Are they scared!

Rang the Police twelve times, by the end of it all I could do was swear at the copper on the other end!

I dont know who I hate more in this County the Police or the Cons!

I agree, they're fecking useless, only interested in making money out of speedcameras.

We had similar problems with little sh*t's causin damage and cars getting nicked from my old place of work and as usual nothing was done.

Useless piece of info Northants is second in the league for the most amount of speed cameras. Only place to beat us was Essex !


That website is v v funny thou.

Worrying when you consider Essex is some 60% larger than Northants...
