"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus
Normal protocol does not have the copper at the door shaking hands with the PM or anybody else, he's on duty.
Obama broke it and shook hands with him at his (Obama's) instigation. The copper briefly offered his hand to Brown too, not to appear rude I suppose; Brown stuck to normal and didn't shake it, which didn't surprise the copper.
