Can You Beat It?
‘SO egalitarian is Tony Blair that in consultation with his Home Secretary, David Blunkett, hes giving you the chance to live like him.

The lifestyle guru will have to wait, as will the portfolio of flats in Bristol, the holidays in Barbados and the hotline to God, but in the meantime how dyer fancy a copper on your own doorstep?
Today the Sun announces that you can give Bogside Villas that Downing Street touch by investing in your own community support officer to stand outside your front door all day.
This is yours for a mere £10,000. And thats good value when you consider that for this one-off annual fee he or she will stand outside in all weathers and even open the door for you when needs be.
It would cost more but, reports the Mirror, the Government will stump up the additional £10,000 in your private cops wages if you can whip up the initial ten grand.
And whats more, your personal bobby has powers to hand out spot fines for dog fouling, littering and riding on footpaths, confiscate alcohol and tobacco from young persons and request the name and address of a person acting in an antisocial manner.
All things to keep your visitors, their children and their pets behaving in a right and proper manner when they come calling.
But until such a time when the death penalty becomes law, and David Davis gets his way ((Davis: I stand firm on death penalty – Mail), your private copper will not be able to kill any miscreants with a single chop to the throat.
Ethnic dogs notwithstanding.’
