I get that pomp and circumstance is important for Brits to not become depressed, but doesn’t it become meaningless if a normal cop with his bullet proof vest and radios and cargo pants, is standing right next to your ceremonial cop who’s supposed to represent eternal tradition?
since like 70% of the peerage is infertile from inbreeding, the nation is running out of dudes with really long heads who are, frankly, unqualified to do anything except robotic choreography in front of little huts for tourists. once there are no more pinheads, they will switch completely to the modern, shirt with necktie, blunt skull cap and tactical vest with inventory space for 50 wet wipes.
You forgot they're also really good at trampling children instead of just walking around them
