I'm sorry I didn't manage to get you into the chamber of horrors, Mr R: did my best, but I should have realised that in the Town Hall the power of the Metropolitan Police takes second place to the blackshirts who are paid by the council to keep residents out of public meetings. Truly appalling. <br /><br />We must press for a full enquiry into the use of these bouncers, the cost, the apparent failure to over rule the decisions of the police officer in charge, and the attitude of the staff to ordinary residents simply trying to exercise their right to attend a council meeting.Mrs Angryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586223909475832791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867547551512887454.post-31385827838018586462011-03-02T08:19:45.247+00:002011-03-02T08:19:45.247+00:00I have submitted an FOI request to understand why ...I have submitted an FOI request to understand why they felt it necessary to have this private army, how many there were and how much they cost.

I first saw them stopping off at a pub in their stomping ground (Totteridge) and was shocked at the fake police get up they parade around in. I'm convinced they act beyond their powers (which are no different from any citizen in the land) and don't understand why they want to so closely imitate the police that it takes a trained eye to spot the difference at a distance. They have evo cars which are really fast, but they have absolutely no authority to drive above the 30 speed limit. Either that's an expensive flexing of their muscle or, more realistically, a statement of intent that they plan to take the law into their own hands when required to by the rich homeowners they service. They look like idiots and should be banned....leave the policing to the police and save the dressing up for fancy dress parties.Lucy Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867547551512887454.post-85713854094290148242011-03-01T23:53:54.381+00:002011-03-01T23:53:54.381+00:00For less than the amount of money the council spen...For less than the amount of money the council spent on security guards, they could have set up a streaming web link of the meeting.Don't Call Me Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602899129846028170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867547551512887454.post-51154166431591154862011-03-01T23:43:41.619+00:002011-03-01T23:43:41.619+00:00Yes the photogrpahs of the security staff are take...Yes the photogrpahs of the security staff are taken from their website and I think I recognise one of the guys who was there this evening.Mr Reasonablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13496421592535949071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867547551512887454.post-32916020879605564212011-03-01T23:39:49.146+00:002011-03-01T23:39:49.146+00:00Sorry, I see you have.
