Today I get to vote for a Police and Crime Commissioner.
I still don't get why the job exists, even less why it's appointed by public ballot.
My three candidates are:
- tough on crime!
- tough on crime!
- tough on crime (but maybe remember we should work *with* the community?)
Not much choice. Not much point. And I have to find ID to be allowed.
But I will turn up and mark my paper. Possibly by writing "fuck the police" across it.
