    Would the Irish go mad if the Gardaí went on strike and left the streets to the people.

    This is a video showing looters in Brazil "helping themselves".

    The Brazilian government has sent federal troops to the state of Bahia to restore order after a labour strike by police opened the door to a crime wave, authorities said.

    By Saturday, the homicide rate in the state capital of Salvador was up 117 per cent to 50 killings in four days since the strike started, according to figures from the government news service Agencia Brasil.

    I remember when the garda would cycle up to your house and warm his toes in the ashes of a turf fire whilst drinking poitin from a delph cup that you had thoughtfully cleaned of turf ashes with your shirt before regretfully informing you that you would have to pay a fine or face jail
