mackem 27,690 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Amnesty bin mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Gain 1,764 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 As mackem says, amnesty bin, but that one is Essex police not London. Most current Londoners wouldn't be able to read it, it would have to have lots of translations, Pakistani, Syrian, Eritrean etc. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 20,854 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Personally I don't think the cookie monster is the most mentally balanced person to be handing weapons to, big bird would have been better as he hasn't got hands to use them 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meece 1,958 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Does this not reflect on the mindset of plod. If you walk round with a weapon for percieved self protection. who is suddenly going to think ...... Bing !!! _._._ "Do you know what, i'm being rather silly carrying this machete down my trouser leg". "I think that I will go and dump this in that bin over there". Yeah right. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same as with the gun amnesties, the only guns that seem to be given up are old air rifles and firearms from pensioners who probably got them off their granddads, when the plod display them it looks like an episode of the antiques roadshow Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meece 1,958 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 It would almost make more sense for plod to reissue hand in's back to deserving fellows to protect themselves. Arm everyone. We might as well float all sorts of stupid ideas. Plod does. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
