I,ve been burning to post this quote up since I read it yesterday. It is UK related

Sir Robert Peel to The Duke of Wellington on the Police Bill 1829

"I want to teach people that liberty does not consist in having your house robbed by organised gangs of thieves, and in leaving the principle streets of London in the nightly possession of drunken women and vagabonds"

So, what else is new Robbie?
