I’m sure the current constabulary recruiting drive will benefit immensely from this and I have complete confidence that it attract the right sort of candidate

My nephew has just joined the Met. He is a really nice, thoughtful, young man. I fear it will not last.

Generation snowflake. Bring back national service . Cut their benefits. Make them do an honest days work. My taxes are paying for this.

Dominic Cummings went to Bristol once, so the rules no longer apply.

Did POLICE turn Bristol 'Kill the Bill' protest into a riot? - Vox Political
It takes only one comment like this to reverse the […]voxpoliticalonline.com
Free country, you can believe what you like. Forgive me if I don't though, the tenor of the publication highlighted doesn't give me faith in either its accuracy or honesty. Just another bunch of violent malcontents.

Well, someone is paying for the clean up in Bristol. Non-violent demonstration? My arse. The usual thugs out for trouble.
It is more than time we had a British version of the CRS.
Feel like we're in for a long hot summer when lockdown ends.
They probably thought that during lockdown was the best possible time to force this through. Maybe like 6 months ago, but with summer coming and the end of lockdown in sight it is probably actually the worst possible time to do it. People are afraid and confused and have been stuck inside for a year and a half, once everyone is out on the streets again and the sun is out, things are definitely going to kick off.

i don't think we should bring back national service but we should ensure all young people can do this

France now famously free of riots and protests of course...

When will you people ever learn? We've left the EU. Brexit means Brexit. We don't need no French CRS. Bring back Dixon of Dock Green!

Of course not, unless you shoot rioters, they do tend to come back. Shooting is a bit extreme though.

i'd have thought you'd have learned that shooting rioters doesn't achieve that. have you honestly learned nothing from serving in the six counties?

True that. All those countries where they shoot rioters (feel free to name some) are, of course, now tranquil and content places.

Well, as a medic, I wasn't shooting anyone, but yes, with the benefit of hindsight...

I would support the use of baton rounds in situations like that of last night.

In Birmingham unemployment has just gone over 15%. Food banks across the city are reporting unprecedented demand. 25% of workers report cuts to hours and/or attacks on employment contracts. All this while the furlough and other government support measures are in place. I’m sure it’s the same situation elsewhere.
A long hot summer is inevitable......

I've never understood the obsession people have with this
Years ago, I was in a relationship with someone who had held the rank of lieutenant in the Red Army, and she made a big deal of how many seconds it took her to strip down and reassemble an AK47. I can't remember how many seconds, it all sounded too daft for me.Any road, this would maybe be more useful

I'm hoping that once we are able to move freely again, commerce will pick up quickly. The really sad bit though, is the businesses, like Thorntons, that will not reopen. Retail has been hit hard, and its a huge employer.
Scrap Trident (and recognise that we haven't actually been a world power for a while) and use the money to establish a national house building corporation. It isn't as if we don't desperately need more social housing.

So nothing, it's a view, no more or less important than anyone else's.
