Armed Police

It is a special fascination of mine I know, but armed police in Britain seem to be a bunch of specially selected bumbling fools. And their ability to do harm, indeed kill is the reason we need to pay particular attention to their deployment, training and operations. So it is distressing although not surprising to hear that an armed officer left a taser on the roof of his car and drove off. I wonder if he has ever done that with his doughnuts? You have to keep your mind on the important stuff.

I appreciate that all of modern British bureaucracy is incompetent to a level rarely seen before, and across the board but the police of course occupy a unique position of trust and reliance. They have already solidly lost the support of the general public through their own stupid policies Now they are on the verge of being out of control to a dangerous degree, where the fabric of society itself will start to tear. An early example of this is the immediate resort to violence by youngsters supposedly protesting about university fees. These immature work-dodgers aren't concerned about the police or breaking the law. They want their way and are prepared to be violent to get it. It is a lack of personal and societal discipline. Tony Blair and New Labour promoted this personal attitude and lived by the same code themselves and its vacuity as an ideology is undermining the whole of society. No one has a sense of shared responsibility, no sense of national belonging and no feeling that anyone in authority is on their side. Indeed, the ordinary law abiding citizen is correct in the observation that they are the target of the authorities rather than its bedrock.

Marxism in the form of environmentalism and its brethren are able, in such an empty, pointless and worthless society to steal a march, as is the dangerous political religion being corrupted in the East.
