🚓🏨🆘 Once again, the UK’s law enforcement priorities read like a rejected plot from a dystopian soap opera. A young girl gets attacked in broad daylight while walking her dog—and the police? They’re too busy playing concierge for asylum hotels. Meanwhile, real danger prowls our streets like it’s got a VIP pass, and our prisons are busy holding “examples” instead of threats.

🐶 Crimes in the Park, Cops at the Hotel Front Desk

We’re living in a country where you can get dragged toward a car by a stranger and your best hope is a Labrador with attitude—because the officers who might’ve helped are tied up “securing” accommodations for guests with no criminal records but top-tier security detail. It’s like we’ve outsourced street safety to sheer luck and barking dogs.

And speaking of bizarre choices, take Lucy Connolly—jailed for social media posts. Not violence. Not theft. Not abduction. Posts. Meanwhile, the streets are giving horror movie energy, and our justice system is doing community theatre.

Why? Because in modern Britain, public safety is a PR strategy. Want to look “tough”? Jail a woman for online words. Want to avoid controversy? Avoid catching actual criminals. Just shuffle paperwork, guard hotels, and leave communities to guard themselves.

Maybe we should all just start walking our dogs with bodycams and pepper spray, since clearly the thin blue line is more of a thin blue loading screen.
