Turning a blind eye
The news today is that the police will concentrate on other matters and not prosecute those who break the law against fox hunting too strenuously.
Do you think the police will be kind and tell us what other crimes they want to turn a blind eye to? It would be useful for us to know where we stand. They will never turn a blind eye to peaceful legitimate protest against the war - they will slap anti-terrorist orders on peace protestors as soon as look at them, but they want to tell the Countryside Alliance well in advance they can commit crime with impunity. Cheeky!
