Gordon Brown urges police to walk people home from cashpoint

GB's an idiot.


Gordon Brown today urged police across England and Wales to offer to walk the last mile home with people who feel unsafe after they visit the cashpoint.

He floated the idea, pioneered by the Wanstead neighbourhood police team in east London, when he delivered his first major speech about crime at Chelsea FC's conference centre today.

While Tony Blair faced ridicule for threatening to march young thugs to the cashpoint to pay their fines, Brown was criticised for assuming that the police have the time to escort people home from the bank.

In his wide-ranging speech, the prime minister defended the government's civil liberties record over the use of CCTV cameras and the decision not to immediately delete the profiles of 850,000 innocent individuals from the DNA database.

Sadly for him he aways wanted to be P.M. stamping his little feet at Blair for 10 years
Blair being more clever or lucky jumped off the ship and handed Dear Gordon the Captains chair,
Poor Gordon kopped the Boomarangs return plus self inflicted Shit hitting the fan! re recent remarks and his time as Chancellor

Ah what a shame

Bet he wishes he never began a career in politics

Well, he should be a leader, set an example and do it himself the fat f*ck.

Apart from the whole foolish idea of the scheme what is the point in just the last mile? If they are going to be robbed then it would have happened before then.

Few more police walking the beat like they used to might be the answer to the UK's street crime problems.
