The latest round of police cuts are in the news, apparently they have to save more than 100m so they are of course cutting the number of police! So why not just get rid of them all and let the bad guys have the country, thats about what is happening now anyway. The last round of cuts reduced police force and now this again, its rediculous, at least before if you rang for the police they would come, tell the bad guys off a bit and move them to the station for a couple of hours with a warning or a night to sleep it off. Now they wont have enough to even do that, it is already impossible to speak to anyone or to come accross anyone on the beat. At this rate we will be down to a single bloke in a beat up astra sitting on the side of the motorway not being able to stop anyone... We should be ramping up the police, giving them better powers, getting back to how things should be. Back in the day when you saw a bobby you would worry if you were a bad guy, they would catch you cuff you and throw you in a van and if you resisted it was a trip to A&E now they cant even cuff you if you say their too tight. Human rights and political correctness gone mad, if you commit a crime and are caught in the act you should automatically have your right lessened, no they cant maim and kill but they should be allowed reasonable force including tasers, battons and the like to protect themselves and the victim. At the minute they can be sued for doing anything but asking nicely..
We need a return to the older system, the older rules, if you are a criminal you are treated as one, you have the right to shut up and be smacked if you dont, you shouldnt have the same or more rights than the victim, this stupid system we have now means that they get away with everything, and if they are caught they get literally a warning on a bit of paper and asked nicely not to do it again. And they wonder why the country is in such trouble. Bring back their ability to police properly!
If they want to save money cut other things, reduce spending on MP expenses, normal workers have to pay for their own food and lodgings why shouldnt they. reduce spending on stupid bits of art and spend it on the comunity, its no good having a pretty shopping area or a pretty high street for the community if the locals are too scared to venture out to see it! Dont regenerate bad areas, give the police the backing to deal with the problem and it will regenerate itself with private funding. If an area is bad can be turned then builders will come...
All in all cuts cuts cuts will lead to a crappy country with no real law that can be enforced, with a crap health service that cant help you and no transport to get you there anyway. Stop cutting at the heart of things and trim the edges first....EOL
