    “I think everybody understands that this is a farce. In Lyme Regis there is a police constable that should be in jail for perverting the course of justice, but nothing will be done, and I expect any number of people could tell a similar story right across the country. That said, the first test will be to see if Freemasons are removed from the force: when pigs fly; so as I said it's a farce.”
