Standing in the rain outside 10 Downing Street on Wednesday, the Prime Minister announced that there would be a General Election on 4 July, 2024.
Inclement weather was not the only thing Rishi Sunak was forced to deal with. He had to battle against a loud speaker which almost drowned him out as protesters played 'Things Can Only Get Better'!
Protesters now do as they please, disrupting the free movement of traffic, defacing works of art and public monuments, all under the guise of free speech.
Those of us who are sick and tired of protesters who abuse our freedoms to beat us over the head with will have ample opportunity to demand to know from candidates what they and their Parties propose to do to defend true British values against such abuse.

ReplyDeleteThe questions you suggest we pose to Politicians and Political Parties might be better addressed to the Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioner PCCs who frankly don't use the wide range of powers already given them by Parliament and even recently further strengthened. At minimum the breach of public order [which includes noise nuisance or obstructing public access] is a piece of legislation which any Rookie copper can impose ... if only his divisional inspector would back him/her.]
This is one for the Police to enforce not for politicians to further enact. Ask Zebedee ... he'll agree!!!!
Plod lack the spine to do so.
DeleteThey're as corrupt as the Church of England and the Church in Wales.
A point I have been making for some eighteen months or more, despite your ridicule.
In fairness, the Police are damned if they do, and damned if they don't when it comes to public order. This is especially true of the Met.
DeleteSeymour
But the powers are not being used effectively and consistently Old Bill, as audibly demonstrated in the above video.
DeletePlod are just damned.
DeleteThey're either idle or corrupt.
Here's the latest scandal involving Gwent Constabulary..

DeleteYep. That was the point I was making dear chap. It's unnecessary lobbying politicians and political parties to strengthen legislation when the full range of offences are already legislated and on the shelf. Petitions instead to the inept Police and Crime Commissioners - mainly Labour nominees - whose prime function is to prioritise regional Force strategy and focus. Then perhaps cajole the CPS to give police more encouragement to Police by actually taking their arrests to court. The sword is sharp but the will blunt
And I disagree with Seymour unless I have misread his point. The hard-pressed MPS 'Met' take more flak because its in the Metropolis that Press and TV news cameras tend to converge ... not reporting from the rural towns and cities. The limelight on them is disproportionate and unwelcome
Latest case of plod corruption.

Stolen valour, Walter Mitty, falsified military record and CV, bogus Falklands medal and clasp.
A Chief Constable no less.
Scum
Well said Zeb! Well said, indeed. Enforcer.

How do they get through plod vetting procedures?
