There's been a right bad do, recently, concerning a lady who is in the last stages of cancer, and she's been trying to defend her smallholding against some desperate pikeys, and when the police came to investigate, they took the pikeys' side, took her guns (from the gun cabinet) and warned her to calm down. Sorry if this all sounds a bit cross, but the police force was Essex Police. And a pikey tried to steal my foal today, so now I daren't leave my house. And my local police didn't want to know. Sorry, guys. It's been a scary day.
