However I draw the line at Crown Servants using their
position to express views on the Law, Policy and further,
making provocative statements to the effect that the general
population abuse their hard won freedom, cannot be
trusted, should be disarmed and controlled "for their
own good".
Who on earth is using their position for gods sake?????????Is this not an
open forum?
[.....]
One ? will do!
Yes, this is an open forum and I was not talking about cybershooters in
particular. One has to be particularly obtuse to not only take things out of
contact, but to omit part of the quote in order to make the complaint fit
the diatribe

Whilst many of us would take issue with a lot of what is said in
Cybershooters and any other forum, everyone has a right to spout his
two-pennyworth.

The above preceded the first quote above, so the ground rules were clearly
laid down. However to make things perfectly clear, the point was about any
public official using in his official capacity making remarks on public
policy.
To take it a bit further even if "off duty" they can still reign in their
opinions. As a former MoD Engineer and NATO Official, it would have been
more than my job and pension were worth to comment on the same line as some
of today's police officers. They have ideas way above their station. They
are quite simply, public servants and no more.
If there are comments to made on policy, let my MP or Ministers make it. I
want to hear the organ grinder not the monkey.

Sorry, I have just realised this is a wind up, lol, and wasnt meant to be
taken seriously. Well done, you had me going for a moment! Nice one Jim!

Burying your head in the sand to avoid the issue does not alter the facts or
make them go away.
