David Hansen gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying:

You'll note I didn't say rid of _all_ TrafPol. Just the vast majority.

That may or may not be the case down south. However, in this country
the figures I have seen indicated that this was not the case.

Umm, you're in the same country I am - and by "down south", I presume
you're meaning the portion of that country which houses somewhere more
than 90% of the population of the country?

Errrr, not if he's in Edinburgh. That's in a different country to where you
say you live (somewhere on the outer reaches of the (sadly truncated)
Metropolitan Railway IIRC).

They are, but Sotland and England are different countries. The clue is in
the the fact that they have different names and different legal structures.

Yes but Hansen lives in the 19th century and the past is a foreign
country.

You're perfectly welcome to it, and to keep your comment to that
country. In fact I insist.
