2012 Olympic torch police escort to be given post-event counseling

Sign in to disble this ad
28 Metro London police officers will help guard the 2012 Olympic torch on its 70-day journey, and will be given psychological counseling after the event to help them reintegrate into society and the Metropolitan police department.


Because it's traumatizing to walk behind someone as they go for a leisurely jog.

Seriously, is this some kind of joke? I mean it's not a huge issue, but just seems kinda pointless. I had a good laugh at this is all I can say

I hope it all goes swimmingly, but the little things that come along like that, and the escort having to go into rehab.. I mean counseling after touring the country kind of makes me nervous.

There's a huge Facebook group about it haha. It either started right near the end of my time in Leeds or shortly after I got home.

Interestingly enough I saw the same action in an alley right by the stadium they're building for it. Maybe I should add this to BassyBill's thread of coincidences...

If you've never woken up in East London with a hangover to find someone has had it away with your shoe laces you've never lived

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say, but it does look to me like it was knocked up over a pub lunch drinking session somewhere for sure, naughty naughty

Well....applying a Rorschach Test style approach to it, I see a drunk guy stumbling forward off of his pub stool somewhere in London, so it can't be all that bad

Looking at it like that, it could be closer to the truth than I thought, but anyways let the games commence
