How to do it: Jordan style
Huttonian remembers from his time in the Middle East how tough local security forces can be. The Jordanians who have quite a reputation for dealing with demonstraters having left their kid gloves at home at least do have a sense of humour about crowd control-and in this age of Global Warming seem to have got their priorities right. Vide this recent police statement-thankyou Jordan Ladies< http://www.jordanjournals.blogspot.com/ >
We kept the situation under control and still the people were able to protest", a senior official said Thursday evening speaking anonymously because he was not authorised to speak with the news media. "They burnt some flags, but for us, burning flags is not a security issue, it's an environmental issue". T
Next time we have massive and violent demonstrations urging better road safety at Fishwick I hope the BordersPolice will also remember where their priorities lie:
burning flags, no; rock throwing ok.

I think we should twin Hutton with Amman, gather some wonderful satire and stage it on the banks of the Tweed at sundown ... under a bedouin tent ... while the badia patrol roam Fishwick ... that'll solve your problem!
You know it might. Trouble is that the Merse is not good camel country and Glubbs Girls might feel out of place
