TWISTED VALUES

I will undoubtedly be called a miserable old curdmugeon--again--but it really annoys me they saw fit to spend one million pounds on the New Year's Eve celebrations in London when they're telling the police they can't have a modest pay increase for putting their lives on the line every time they go to work. I'm not a big fan of the police, but we'd be in bloody big trouble without them. Fireworks, on the other hand, don't do much for anybody, do they?
