ANDERTON SWIRLS IN A CESSPIT OF HIS OWN MAKING

In this obit batch, we’ve seen, with Tony Brooks, a man’s devout faith have a humbling effect on his life and career. Now, time for the other side of the coin. James Anderton served as the chief constable of Greater Manchester Police for about 15 years. One of the most recognisable cops in his day, he fashioned himself as “God’s copper”, or using God as an excuse to justify his rather outspoken points of view. These included loathing feminism, porn, and drinking, and wishing to see capital punishment reintroduced and homosexuality outlawed. He found himself under fire for remarking that AIDS sufferers were “swirling about in a human cesspit of their own making”, but survived the furore because Thatcher liked him. James Anderton certainly was a forthright character who was never afraid to say what was on his mind. We will therefore honour his legacy by not mincing our words – he was a cunt. He was 89 and picked by two teams, with copper outfit IT’S A COP-OUT 2022 the chief beneficiary thanks to a joker pick.
