The situation we have is unseen for many years. I can recall, as I am sure many of you can, the serious disorder of 1981 and the effect that had on the UK as a whole.
What we have here is far worse and part of the reason is the advances in technology and the speed with which an event occurring in London can be communicated across the country. In theory, within minutes a similar act is being performed. It will be brought under control, but will take time and resources.
Theresa May and her Boss need to reconsider their plans for the Old Bill. Despite the fact we are being shafted - along with the military - we (and you), still put our lives on the line / necks on the block - and get on with the job.
The individuals involved are low lifes with nothing better to do. The individual shot and killed which sparked all of this was not just out for a drive to the shops. The latest revelation about who fired the shots has not helped, but that is a different matter altogether - the IPCC have however stated that rumours Duggan was killed 'execution style' as wholly incorrect or words similar.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
