"Policing:
Steve White, chair of the Police Federation, has warned that if further cuts are made to policing, then the police will be forced to take a more violent approach, stating that with less money “you get a style of policing where the first options are teargas, rubber bullets and water cannon.” We all know that policing without consent will lead to huge civil unrest. Poor police-community relations were the trigger for the 2011 riots. And in a society where mass-protesting is becoming a weekly activity, this paramilitary style policing will undoubtedly impact upon all of us."
I do not like the sound of this at all.
