Can we really Trust Teresa May with a blank cheque?

I read it from a link to the Independent angelab - in fact I read it twice as I found it strange and dreadful - seems some of the dogs were very young.

21st September 2013:
The news, revealed in The Sun, follows the revelation this week that the Ministry of Defence has destroyed 288 dogs in the past 10 years, including two RAF dogs that guarded Prince William. Brus and Blade were destroyed just days after he quit the service.

2008:
One force has halved its dog squad and at least three others are poised to make cuts. Greater Manchester Police cut its dog section from 120 to 60, while a merger between Bedfordshire Police and neighbouring Hertfordshire Constabulary will see nine dogs leave the force. Northumbria Police has also put its dog numbers under review, with a third of its 45-strong canine unit being let go, according to Police Review.
^Dogs, which cost around £9,000 each, per year to keep, have been a staple of British policing since their introduction to North Yorkshire police in 1923. But many face an unsafe future as forces tighten their budgets amid the economic downturn.
Christopher Harvey, of the Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour and Training, said: "Forces do seem to be cutting back. The overall view is that dog numbers are reducing.^

Dog handlers do adopt their dogs on many occasions but many of these dogs are unsuitable for re-homing.

This is nothing new.

Thanks for the info; it may have been going on for years but that only makes it more disgusting. Surely something could be put in place to keep these dogs alive, even if they're not suitable for re-homing? It would be a trivial portion of the police budget, or possibly a charity like the Dogs Trust would intervene - or the money could even be raised through crowd-funding.

I knew a police dog handler some 15+ years ago. I'm pretty sure that he kept his working police dog at home. Don't they have to be reliably well behaved when mixing with the general public?

Why would young dogs be put down? They would still be amenable to retraining surely?

If May gets her way and scraps HR, then it is simple - the terrorists have won.

Only the HR regarding potential terrorists, and nothing is decided yet.It would need to be passed by Parliament anyway.

Hahahahaha - only the HR regarding potential terrorists .

well it would be funny if it wasn't so bloody sad

What's really sad is that people can post such a comment in all seriousness . Only the HR of potential terrorists <sobs hysterically>

If things need 'beefing up' as regards these potential killers then so be it.I can't see many people complaining about it.We need HR but if they are too much on the side of the terrorist/ potential terrorist ( saying that they have a family life etc)
Then our hands are tied.EU human rights have been used for years, but we can make our own ones in the future, and safeguarding psychos/and radicalised hate filled nutcases won't be on the menu.Everything will have to be passed as law by Parliament, so nothing will get nodded through without a lot of debate.

Just like May grandstanding about cryptography. Can't be done, but the voter "trusts"May - what a joke.

I doubt Rigby or WW that if your DGC had just died in Manchester, you would be saying what you are.

If HR is scrapped ( EU laws) we would still have British HR laws.No need for hysterics on anyones behalf just yet.

Well you see rar that's why we have the rule of law and not the lynch mob. I would also absolutely love to know the difference between human rights, European human rights and British human rights. Care to elaborate because I'm afraid I'm stuck?

Report in the Independent which says that the OECD expects that the talks will fail in 2019, and that Britain is heading for a cliff edge disaster.

Wonder if people understand what that exactly means?

Probably not and will dismiss it as "scaremongering"anyway. Just how close minded can you be?

rigby a laugh a minute!!

Really Rigby why I never knew that! Duh!

We had HR here before we joined the EU.

Well ww I do hope you will be laughing just as much on Friday.

HR are NOTHING to do with the EU but everything to do with the ECHR which we have codified into UK Law

I'm wondering how the cliff edge disaster will be spun. No doubt all the fault of those dastardly Europeans, when in fact it has become obvious to the world that the Brexit team are useless with very poor negotiation skills.

I expect that most things will simply be adopted into UK HR but if there are things that the government wishes to change or modify then they can do so.

No WW it has not become obvious to the world that the Brexit team are useless
With very poor negotiation skills.
The negotiations only start eleven days after Friday.

Theresa May never speak from her heart I have noticed, more from a pre prepared checked script.

UK needs a real person with real concerns, not saying the opposition will do any better though

There is already a UK Human Rights Act based on the ECHR. TM has talked in the past about getting rid of it and replacing it by a UK Bill of Rights. Whatever she does, it's nothing to do with the EU or Brexit

Most of the world does not wear rose tinted specs!!
