Re: New Government Getting Tough on Crime
There lies the rub. We are swamped with spineless, Liberal Luvvies who ensure they are listened to by the craven rest of society. We desperately need someone in the vein of the USA former Mayor Guiliani. He became the bane of organised crime, which is exactly what we are dealing with here in our cities.
These vile people are even using children under the age of 13 to carry drugs for them.
If Boris is truly genuine intending to come down hard on soft prison sentencing, then good for him. Next, deal with the crappy Justice system the prosecution service and our Police numbers. Get policemen back out onto the streets. Arm them if necessary, why should our police force be the only one in the whole world that are unarmed in this day and age.
Until criminals become afraid, nothing will ever change. We need to have street coppers again so we can have stoolies again. They will never get to do anything being two by two in a car! never meeting anyone unless it is confrontational. They need to befriend the public, the public need to be reassured. To start with, get rid of these useless, unnecessary Police Commissioners and spend their generous salaries on front-line policing. Put policemen who have worked their way up through the ranks, in charge. Not these university, figure-crossing idiots who have agreed with the new order that every new policeman or woman must have a degree! God help us!
We need urgent change because crime has gone through the roof and trust in the police plummeted, which is a shame as frontlne police do the best they can with the resources they have been given.
