It's true, you know. We're working around the clock in ICU
the NHS has a fulltime unit for playing Hide and Seek and Grandmas footsteps?
No wonder it's going broke.
More good ol' American justice. I'm thinking about writing a book about the screwed-up cases of injustice in the Police State US. Check these out.

Or were you thinking of doing a comedy book about it? That could work.

Police state? As a citizen, I think I'm a better judge of the situation than you and I can assure you that this nation is not a police state. Feel free to make fun of it if you'd like but I can't help but wonder about your fixation on a country thousands of miles away while similarly egregious/frustrating/ridiculous events take place in your own nation just as frequently.

Flipping heck! Is that real? Scary.
This is why we all need webcams implanted in our skulls.
