Well, there the logic fails, because the police have virtually given up
catching criminals anyway. It's much easier to give the victims a hard
time.
And anyway, when the villains ARE caught, they just get a slap on the wrist
and a pound out of the poor box. Musn't lock 'em up - oh, no.

And as for aircraft pollution - ( and any other alleged pollution), just
slap a hefty tax on the punters - it won't stop 'em flying (or driving for
that matter), nor will it make a ha'porth of difference to the climate, but
by God it won't half swell the revenue coffers.

So lets just do nothing then eh? Good plan. Perhaps extending that
logic we should suggest that because foe example the police can't
catch all criminals they might as well not bother catching any. Genius.
