Shaw Taylorism keeps 'em peeled

Two things about the bizzies, like.

i) Since when has it been BBC policy to refer to "the p'lice" rather than "the police"? Sort it out you slack-jawed estuary scum.

ii) On the other hand, "polis" is a wonderful word. However, I'm unsure of pronunciation or origin. Any clues, oh internet sages and onions?

Another vote for poe-lis, and definitely very Taggart/Mark McManus.
