Trouble makers steer clear of Tonbridge today!...

There's haven't been this many police in Tonbridge certainly in the twenty two years I've lived here. There's all the Community Police Officers from, it seems, every town and village in the area, then there's the regular beat officers but, on top of that, there seems to be almost a paramilitary contingent of seriously mean-looking, hard nosed coppers. The sort that you'd be a fool to cross. If these guys say it's Thursday today then, trust me, just agree with them! Then there are sniffer dogs around, armoured personnel carriers, bomb squad officers. All this for The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment Freedom Parade which starts at 2pm. Presumably anyway. Even the bins are out of use, covered over with signs saying do not use. I would suggest that today will be a great, safe and fun day out for most people. But, if you are a shop lifter or a trouble maker, I would suggest that you avoid Tonbridge today!...
