On my way home tonight, I encountered a road accident. Ambulances were at the scene, where an elderly pedestrian had been knocked over on London Road. There was a big dent in the windscreen of the car involved. The old man was lying in the road surrounded by paramedics. Meanwhile, his fellow winos were directing the traffic, getting the vehicles to take turns using the other side of the road. Police were nowhere to be seen. Quite some time had elapsed since the accident. I had had time to eat a chicken pie in the fish and chip shop. No coppers at all.
Is this the PM's Big Society in action?
