Middlesborough Police's Finest Stand Around As A Burglary Takes Place Behind Them
Superintendent Steve Swales, a local police commander, said: "Middlesbrough has made great strides in terms of our professionalism and the service we provide to our community."
Yes, we can just see those strides in action.
Middlesborough Police are making an appeal for the return of their 'Image of Professionalism', last seen stolen in a cardboard box by students running down the road. Any (reliable) witnesses in the area at the time?

Yeltsin's Sense of Humour
Boris Yeltsin responds to a reporter's characterisation of him as a 'disaster' at the end of a successful summit with the then President of the United States; and Bill Clinton is beside himself with laughter.
So was he a disaster or not? He was a catalyst for democracy in the Soviet Union but also someone who partly through alcoholism & ill health proved unable to institutionalise reform sufficiently. Putin took over and has since been dragging the nation back towards dictatorship.
Boris Yeltsin died today.
Only history can tell whether his reforms will stand the test of time. I am not hopeful.
