  The days when all publicity was good publicity are long gone now Marek. The wrong kind of publicity can finish a career whether it is in the police or in the realms of the celebrity..it can be the road to hell, and the sack.
  
  Talking about racist jokes, or jokes of any kind that are near the mark, the days are gone for those too. Our own Jokes Page here on Doverforum has been in the wars several times, and once again recently it has caused us to experience a setback. It's days are numbered too and the chances are we will soon close it down.
  
  I remember the days of the feared but respected bobby. In Ireland it was just the same although they werent called bobby's in our case. But it was definitely community policing at its best, unrestrained by too many rules and regulations. The different ethnic communities that make up our society see things very differently these days though. So many people from hugely differing backgrounds look at things with different perspectives and this has hamstrung the old ways. Any action particularly by the police can be hugely misinterpreted. One had only to listen to the discussion on Bin Laden on the BBC's Question Time the other night to see what I mean.
