This cartoon by Paul Thomas from The Daily Express relates to news that the Metropolitan Police, Britain's largest police force with more than 32,000 officers, has issued a card telling officers not to arrest members of the public who verbally abuse them. The memory aid states: 'The courts do not accept police officers are caused harassment, alarm or distress by words such as: 'f**k, c**t, b*****ks, w*****s'. Full story >>
In the cartoon, the joke is that a man uses a swear word when asking a policeman for the time.
