Are we now becoming a country of need or greed

The British police force we are always being told is the finest in the world. Yet we have people being released from prison because officers have fixed the evidence to get a conviction or they deliberately misplace evidence or don't pass it on to the defence. Now we see that many of these well paid officers have one or more jobs. This also applies to many fire officers who do other jobs such as window cleaners. Again is this not greed when these police officers and fire officers are compared  to the rest of the public are well paid. We have people today poorly paid that have to do more than one job just to keep bread on the table. Now we have people who who have got the Olympic torches and are selling them from anything from £1000 to £153,000 on E-Bay the person who sold this one said that the money was going to charity, that's all well and good if it is true. Some of these torches have been sold even before the participant has carried out their part in the road show. Is this just people jumping on the band waggon before other people. The Olympic committee must take some of the blame. They said originally that these torches couldn't be sold but returned to the Olympic committee who would reimburse the cost to the torch bearer, but they soon changed their stance. We really are becoming a country of greed. before need.
