The police aren't there to be your mates, the clue is in the wording. All this bollocks about community police and neighbourhood teams, police are there to uphold the laws of the land. Watching the police get run out of places in the likes of London is quite embarrassing.

 

Another thing that must stop is the “trying to be in everyone’s gang” that the police do currently. Having rainbow face paint at pride marches, pride cars with graphics on the side with bright colours and Pride all over It. Dancing around at carnivals. No. You are the police and must uphold the law for all with no discrimination. Be part of the community yes and be friendly and approachable but the rest. Stick it in the bin otherwise you find it hard when you have to get tough.
(Before anyone says it I have nothing against any community/following etc it just has no place being promoted by police forces)

 

Or you could stop posting shite.

 

Waiting for the facts to emerge from this case is sensible.

On a broader point, we unfortunately reap what we sow. Not you and I of course, but the decisions of our government to support the US as they go and police the world to protect their interests. Our actions are seen as acts of war and the terrorism on our streets is their reaction to it. You can't expect to go to war without consequences.

 

Said it on the previous thread, you cannot continue to underfund the police force and expect to prevent these outcomes. It’s no coincidence it is getting worse. The threat of terrorism has never gone away, as you say the majority of is our own doing, yet terror related arrests are down year on year but active investigations and cases continue to sky rocket. Theresa May was warned and practically embarrassed as Home Secretary in what she was letting this country in for and she ignored it then, ignored it as prime minister and her party continues to ignore it now.
There are other measures too and controlling who comes in is one of them, but the police were overstretched with it all years ago and warned this would happen.

tactics have changed. They no longer make bombs or carry guns. They don’t need to. They don’t even hire vans anymore and mow people down. All they need is a knife. Frightening.

On a side note you only have to look at the parties in London the police can’t even control and they are powerless to do anything. Even running away at times. It’s not easy to watch. They are losing the streets there. The thin blue line is getting thinner and thinner.

 

The UK loves to vote to get rid of the toilets, and then moan that there’s piss and shit everywhere.

 

They were got rid of because as usual we couldn't trust human beings to use them properly. Although having seen the mess left behind on Bournemouth beach and the celebrations in Liverpool it doesn't surpise me one bit. You could have put dozens of bins and toliets there for usage and it wouldn't have looked any different. We live in a very selfish society.
I'll give you an example, i had to go make a report on my stolen tools a couple of months ago. Only station open these days in Bradford is the HQ on Nelson Street, can't even get in at Lawcroft House these days. Couldn't have a piss because the only toilet was for the disabled and they didn't have the key, which they kept locked because of constant misuse. In a police station, i kid you not. We really do have to share oxygen with a sizeable number of feckwits.

 

The police have made a rod for their own backs really recently, and I am talking about the chiefs. The nonsense in Bristol when thugs were allowed to destroy a public statue whilst the police officers were directed not to intervene by their chief, was a disgrace

You have some that were taking the knee with BLM protestors, another disgrace. One of the agendas of the BLM movement is to abolish the police force as we know it

Let's start getting tough with these thugs and round them up plenty of footage of the Brixton rioters for example to help identify then, and the Bristol anarchists too.

 

Asylum seekers waiting a decision on whether they will be allowed to stay should be held in camps until the application is resolved, Then they can be helped to integrate in the community or removed from the country, At the moment we are paying £BILLIONS to private companies to house them in slum conditions with little control on where or what they get up to.

 

The old ones are the best you need to change your script lad I just find it quite amusing that you tell other poster to stop posting shite then on another thread you tell people what your eating for breakfast like a 5 Yr old telling there grandparents

 

I think it would be interesting to have a poll of how many people would be prepared to pay more for a more safe and secure environment. I think it would be higher than you are suggesting.

I would happily pay 1 or 2p more in tax if it guaranteed more police on the streets. Would you?

 

Those who can afford it should pay more of a share too, a lot more.

 

My apologies if i didn't get the reference m8, i agree with you. This 'Bobby on the beat' is a lovely wonderful notion that leaves you all warm inside when the truth is its actually pointless. You could double this countries number of police and it wouldn't make a difference. It would to the police in being able to do their job more efficiently but what exactly is that job these days? Spending millions chasing unlicensed drivers with helicopters and x5s, catching them then watching them get a suspended sentence and a fine they have no intention of paying.
