Bull on Parade |
i. Mandate becomes Official |
The Inspector at Gaza police station complains to the district Commissioner that the area, allocated as the district police training ground is the traditional location for the local bull owner to tether his bull when fellaheen need to have their cows serviced. Fellaheen from surrounding villages still bring their cows to the training ground to the detriment of police parades. Can the district commissioner please find another area for fellaheen to conduct their necessary business? (from Police Records formerly held in Bristol) This suggests that for police in Gaza in those days, "bullsh-t on parade" took on a more literal meaning. |
