Re: Kenneth Noye
Hi
A personal view.
I stared life as Health Inspector.
I moved across to the dark side, more robust forms of Enforcement during the Cold War.
It paid more.
Then it was Terrorism and then, as things changed, Immigration and eventually back to my roots.
My personal experience is this.
You will not find a single Enforcement Officer working on the pointy end of dealing with those who seek to harm us who has any qualms whatsoever about killing the bad guys to prevent imminent harm to others.
That is what you pay them for.
You will find many who are not happy about killing captives when they are in custody and no further threat.
That is an issue for society and not one for Enforcement Officers.
The two things have to be separate.
That is why I, along with others, are very unhappy about about Jury Service.
Judge, Jury and Executioner is so, so, wrong, that is what we are fighting about.
That is also why we have increasing numbers of female Enforcement Officers.
Many men, like me, are sexist, we have an inbuilt aversion to killing ladies.
You do not hurt a lady, it is wrong.
I have hesitated at times, so have others.
Female Enforcement Officers have no such issues.
They are scary people.
There is a division of responsibility, they leave the machete wielding bearded idiots to the men, we are stronger and have no issues at all.
They deal with the hard nut females, the suicide bombers carrying an infant.
Something which is basically a problem for a dad.
I,and others,could not execute Kenneth Noye when he is in captivity.
A heartfelt plea.
We have Theresa May going all out for the prosecution of those who were following orders.
You have Corbyn, Abbott and Lammy wanting to let known ISIS back into the UK.
This constant criticism will lead to one thing.
You will have nobody to protect you, it will simply not be worth the bother.
