The police want a watercannon

tbf with Boris doing this now, May could well wait until he's handed over the cash and then fuck him off; they are both lining up for a pop at the top job after all.

Johnson is a cunt but he is a very astute politician. He has May fucked on this already: if she goes for water cannon then he looks to be setting the agenda with her following along behind and if she refuses water cannon she risks alienating the hang em and flog em section of her party while strengthening Johnson's position with the cunts. On top of this he gets to set up a wacky photo op. I hope he gets his eye scooped out.
 
Someone on the radio said they aren't very mobile, take a while to get to the scene etc ... cost lots to maintain as well ..

Still, if they give Boris a photo opportunity I suppose someone will be happy.

i have a blunt spoon you can borrow for the job
 
I'm not quite sure how this works given that the Assembly voted against them. Of course it could be that the Assembly is useless, but it could also be Boris bullshit.
I bet the mayor has a discretionary spending limit, and these just happen to fall below that limit, and he can say that the vote was against units costing £2million, so it was a different proposition. Or something like that.

Good old Steve Bell. :cool:
 
That doesn't seem to have much more power than a super soaker

I think BJ must have seen this and thought "I won't three"

I hope that people somewhere are looking at countermeasures against these machines. I suspect that tackling them head-on is never going to be a winner, but they must have soft spots, weak points, etc. There must be ways of disabling or inconveniencing them, but they need thinking through and finding out.

I went to a talk by "Defend the Right to Protest" on these and they've been in use in Turkey for quite a while. A Turkish student revealed that at first they were able to just spray paint the periscope/viewport. Later they electrified the exterior. Next round - rubber body suits I assume.
 
The water cannon at the centre of the row between Boris Johnson and Theresa May are being phased out in Germany amid concerns about their safety. The London mayor claimed he had struck a bargain with the secondhand water cannon he bought from the German federal police this week. But the two-decade old Wasserwerfer 9000 model he secured are being gradually phased out in Germany because of concerns about its safety.

Way to go Boris!
