Re: New Government Getting Tough on Crime

I think that Boris is making promises that he has no intention of keeping because he is planning an election.
He'll do it just after Brexit so he can claim to be the one who delivered it against all odds.
If he does and the Tories get in we will never be rid of them.
They'll change the system of voting, they already changed some constituency borders to suit themselves.
It's been their plan all along, no EU to answer to, they'll do exactly as they like.
I said that in the beginning, wait and see...

Or someone who lives in the real world and realises that Socialism is a demotivating idiocy, and the Liberal era is coming to an end.

Re: New Government Getting Tough on Crime

I wish someone would define exactly what is meant by the term "Enforcement Officers"! The words keep being bandied about as though we should all know and be grateful for their presence - but who are they?

Police, Military, Undercover agents of some sort, MI5, UK version of CIA/FBI, authorised 'James Bonds, or just back street vigilantes with pick axe handles?

The words are meaningless unless we know who/what they are.

Re: New Government Getting Tough on Crime

Do I take that everyone is as much in the dark as I am then?

Swimmy says:-

Without Enforcement Officers, you would be on your own and how many of you could look after yourself?

Very very few.

If you want your Enforcement Officers to be 100% sure, accept the Casualties and do not whinge.
But who exactly are these people?

How can we be grateful for or offer support to a 'Force' - when we do not know who/what they are?

60 odd years ago in Manchester and other big cities an enforcement officer would a part of a firm providing insurance that prevented nasty things happening to people and usually small or dodgy businesses.

But the ones Swimmy was talking about are working for the home office... that is what Swimmy tells us.

I know some enforcement officers check that council houses are kept in a safe condition to live in, but from what Swim says it seems he was working with radical Muslims, who have on occasions tortured him or harmed him.
That is why we are not sure what the term "enforcer" means & that is why we keep asking!

In other words no change, as we were. Politics will be boring again.

Re: New Government Getting Tough on Crime

It won' t be boring with the Tories in charge, the wealthy will be having fun, the poor and vunerable will be terrified!
Everyone will be holding their breath to see who is being helped or starved next.
It'll be like Roman times!

Jacob will be trying to modernise everything to bring things up to Victorian standards!
