almostwittyIt's a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I'm showing ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shove_this_job the wide range of British television, including a programme called Street Crime UK, which I'm hoping will show Shalene the wide range of British disgusting homicidal maniacs, and that it's not all sweetness and light in the UK.
Thus we watch Street Crime UK, and three drunken yoof who are strolling the streets of Guildford late at night, and stealing road signs (as young students are want to do - we saw that in Central London the other night). Lo and behold, three policemen arrive to give them a stern talking to and a warning. One of the teenagers pulls an emo-stunt and wails about "Why did you have to arrest me, man?", down to "YOU HAVE RUINED MY LIFE FOREVER!" and "YOU HAVE KILLED ME!", while the officers hold onto him. The other two youths are given a caution (whilst waving at the TV camera filming them) and the crying emo-crim is arrested before being de-arrested and sent on his merry way.
Ten minutes, the same coppers catch the same three hardened criminals, who have upgraded from moving road signs to stealing milk from people's doorsteps. (Guildford is patently a high crime area). While the police make arrangements to arrest the criminals, emo-crim-boy wants to call his girlfriend, but isn't allowed to - and resorts to throwing himself on the floor, crying, screaming and wailing that he needs to talk to his girlfriend first. While the police look on, wishing they were in Chicago busting pimps and drug dealers instead.
The entire sequence of high crime is resolved when the milkman drives by, points out that if the three boys had bothered asking for some milk, he'd have given them some free milk, the three bottles of milk are paid for and everyone goes on their merry way.
Other highlights include a drunken fight between two people, the highlight of which is one person pulling the glasses over someone else's face, and a police car pulling over a driver because his 8-year-old son is making rude gestures to them. While the police notice a few tax discrepancies in the car, a mild rebuke from the coppers earns a flood of sobbing tears from the 8-year-old kid.
And that's 30 minutes of cameramen following police on patrol in Britain. Britain, why do you embarrass me thus?
