Going Soviet

[fullbeem]

The term was used in tonight's The Bill.

Cant say ive heard the term before, anyone else??

[anonymous-user]

Nope not heard that one, but could b fun

[jeff m]

Not sure, it could be arresting criminals and not just making motorists an income stream.

[14000RPM]

I'm sure I heard that phrase in Red Alert 2. Along with "Cannot comply, building in progress."

[E31Shrew]

Obviously nothing to do with going Brazilian then

A soviet is a meeting.

(see Churchill, Winston)

Although whether that's what the chumly rozzers of Sun Hill mean is another matter. I still don't know why they call a prostitute a tomato... innit, large etc.

Wrinkly and red when they get a bit old?

[filski666]

does it mean the country is becoming a socialist dictatorship?

[CobolMan]

Wasn't last night's episode about hostages in a school - could refer to what happened over in Russia a couple of years ago??

[mybrainhurts]

Must have been referring to the Union of European Socialist Republics...

-in other words, we only hear it on the Bill, and we think the writer is on crack

as for going soviet, was this in that smiffy hostage thing? it could mean they plan to kill everyone and pretend they were going to anaesthetise them instead
