What is going on, here's a guy who's been robbed time and again and decides he doesn't want
the thieving scumbags in his shop, so he puts a sign in the window telling them to keep out, quite right to. Then Plod comes round and makes him take his sign down, maybe if this jobsworth were to catch an odd criminal occasionally then maybe this chap wouldn't have needed sign in the first place

By 'thieving scumbags' can one assume that you mean all eastern europeans?
