Yes fully agree chips, read my posts (if you have a spare half hr or can’t sleep) Trouble is to justify the procedure, the cops have to have reasonable cause or susupicion to make the stop and have to be able to back up their decision in a clear cut way - not always possible Birmingham has recently increased their stop and search numbers and also temporarily done away with the need for the reasonable cause or suspicion to be made This follows an increase in knife crime in Brum These measures are no good however being a knee jerk reaction and put in place for a two week period - needs to be ongoing for the forceable future Like we always read after an event ‘increased police presence in the area’ ......... too little too late though innit when another 18 year old has been stabbed to death
Oh, i thought they had more or less stopped it due to accusations of picking on/ singling out stereotypes ?
Since bliars illegal wars in muslim countries billions of pounds have had to be diverted and invested in counter terrorism measures thus draining funds from local police forces. Instead of trying to change the world bliar and new labour would have better spent their time focusing on matters closer to home.
Tony Blair hasn't been Prime Minister for 12 years, isn't it about time the Tories started taking responsibility for their own mistakes.
The legacy of bliar and the rest of his shower will be with us for a very long time to come. In government you have to make tough decisions, sadly many of those decisions are borne out of previous governments incompetence.
You voted for bliar. And its bliars creation. Now you got the terrorism storm that our security forces have to deal with. Now and well into the future. And the costs that go with it. So stop moaning when cuts are made in other areas.
Labour and your beloved bliar started the illegal wars in the middle east. You voted for them. You reap what you sow.
Just remembered that Tony Blair was a convert to Roman Catholicism, how does that reflect on your beliefs?
illegal war best ever mass murder geniside ethnic clensing now illegal war so religen/ athiests/ politics yes all to blame thats the life we have tollerance is to blame
Good points GM and if we brought back common sense, banned political correctness, stopped being so soft hearted with the bad people in society, reinforced the value of traditional families and made punishments fit the crimes, we'd have a more peaceful existence. All the present social experimenting isn't working and it's ruining the lives of sensible law abiding citizens.
its not bad people its good people tolerating it tolerance is just a clever word for not liking something but to lazy to do the right thing about it
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47440487 No mention of Tony Blair, religion or political correctness. If you want to have a grown-up conversation then converse like grown-ups.
As long as Tony preys to god it's out of his hands Heard a report on the radio the other day that previous behavior will not be tolerated. , but no mention of turning the accused phedos over to the police , once again this above the law attitude perpetuation and an example of GM's " good people tolerating it"
Make posession of a bladed weapon (with sensible tests to determine if it was for a legitimate purpose or not) as severe an offence as posession of a firearm. In my view, talk of anything else is wasted hot air.
