X marks the spot

Police Commissioners - what a larf.  I can understand the good intentions behind it, but to think the ordinary man in the street (I think I can count as one of those) is going to go out of their way to vote for them is a joke.  No wonder they are saying this is a low turnout - I'm surprised anyone bothered at all.  Mind you, there's always a few folk thinking they know whats best for us and will go and vote.  You just hope they outnumber the nutters.  Heck, they might even be the nutters.
