Nothing new there. In the olden days, when I went out of an evening and drank in pubs and clubs, there were plain-clothes fuzz around. You could recognise them by their haircuts, shiny suits and perpetual scanning of everyone in the place!
There are not enough Police to even answer a burglary, or they don't want to, how many would be needed to achieve this silly mandate, after all the problems are on the way home from the pub, not in it. The Jannie is right, certain East End pubs would have the resident nark who would sit at the bar supping his freebies, don't think I ever remember them doing much else though.

You will easily be able to spot a modern police officer undercover in a pub
It will be the short fat bird sipping a diet coke
They're not "secret" police, they're just undercover.
We'll have to wait until the trial, of course, but I do have some sympathy with those women who are not entirely reassured by this...
Jannie - my pubs weren't like that - or maybe I never noticed for some reason.
Bucko - not the one with five o'clock shadow?
Vatsmith - that's right, secretly undercover.
Sam - I don't have much sympathy in the abstract although I would if it was someone I knew.

Wiggia - that's it in a nutshell - the problems are on the way home from the pub, not in it.
