BY their obvious inability to do anything to counteract the menace of high-speed motorcycles on the old A30, the police have tacitly admitted that they have neither the will, the technology, the funds nor the manpower to deal with this problem.

Many more serious crimes go undetected or unheeded.

However, panic not! ?Little Blair? and his awful henchmen have an answer ready and at hand.

Uninterested in improving the state of our health service, transport system or schools, they plan, if they get their way, which is still by no means certain, to load the police with the further burden of making sure that, if it is banned, hunting with hounds does not take place.

What a mad world we live in and by what crazy people we are governed.
