      More crooked and bent police? Without police reform this means nothing

      The types who go into the force are bottom barrel. Don’t need to replace street thugs with gov thugs

      Ohhhh goody more worthless cops who only enforce the law when it involves football. Leaving the rest of us to get no service.

      What if we actually deal with the cause of it. Of course there are some people that are just going to be cunts regardless but everything political parties say they’re going to do won’t solve the issues in the first place.

      Is this a joke? What about thugs from ANTIFA, BLM and the Anarchists and Unions?

      So you’ll authorise police to knock balaclava wearing scumbags off their ebikes… or continue to let them run riot everywhere?

      That’d be great… after they get rid of the thugs and thieves working for the police. After that it would be very useful if they’d explain exactly who will be doing all the administration work that still needs doing for these folks to get on the streets.

      If the answer is Capita, I’m fucking out.

      So first thing you’re going to do is to fix the chronic pay issue in public services so you can actually recruit more policemen / firefighters / doctors / nurses right?

      Right?

      Let’s hope she gets elected then, and Diane is not doing the costings. last time she held on by the skin of her teeth. Last time it was Brexit that nearly saw her off, this time it will probably be Gaza. Seriously though, his the fuck are they going to pay for this, or even recruit them.

      So, swap the balaclava thugs for blue uniform thugs?

      I’d rather stick with the balaclava ones.

      13,000 new neighbourhood officers is all well and good, but they need to be recruiting double that number. Of that 13,000, only 3000 are new recruits under this plan and the other 10,000 of these will be diverted from whatever they’re currently doing. This means other areas will suffer (response policing, child abuse investigations, DA investigations etc). It’s robbing Peter to pay Paul.

      Dumdums reaching into the barrel of newsprint for a failed idea no-one has shamefacedly mumbled for ten minutes or so: ‘more, um, cops.’
      The other lot want to put everyone in the army or whatever. These people are absolutely ridiculous.

      All well and good, police being visible does deter crime but unless they’re going to drastically increase prison capacity to a minimum of 500k spots and fund the justice system as well it’s basically a band aid.

      We ought to have a policy of a blanket five year prison sentence for these crimes. And we need to build a couple of super-max prisons with 10,000 cells in each.

      It’s a shame the Conservatives were happy to let all the police stations be sold. I think I’m right in saying that Merseyside Police, for example, now has nine public counters to cover a county of 1.4m people.
