No, not NO police at all but much reduced. The latest figures look worse but I can't be bothered doing what you are perfectly capable of doing. As my son used to say to me years ago when feeling obstreperous - "I ain't your slave". Often followed soon after with "ouch!"

Our police should not be routinely armed, way too late to make a difference, but if at some future date they are it will not be something to celebrate.

Unlikely, too cowardly they might get hurt.

Doubt that would last long and achieve nothing, except arrest.

The damage has been done. Nigel Farage.

Yes, I read that.
It appears that the policepeople were 'advised' (though not ordered) to take the knee by their superiors in order to appeal to the rioters.
In other words, they were told to kowtow to the rioters.

You couldn't make it up.

An alternative but only if you have the dosh.
I can see this service expanding, the more so as our police 'service' becomes more and more restrained by the powers that be.
Apparently, it's going to expand into areas other than west Londonistan. I must say that £200 a month wouldn't be too much for many people, especially those who are concerned about the need for protection.

That seems like the beginning of a very slippery slope to vigilantes and lynch mobs.

Personally I am glad my local police are armed the only danger they pose are to the mentally ill who get shot far too often.

Money talks but then hasn't it always done so, in every aspect of life?

Re: Now tell me why our police should not be armed.

And this is what happens with a trained firearms officer.
