I sent Mr. Free Market this link a couple of days back, seeking his perspective on the matter:
The British government said that it is urgently important to restore the “social fabric” of the country amid warnings that anti-mass migration sentiment could see another summer of riots break out in the country.
His only response was this report, sent without comment:
Police not ready for summer of unrest: Officers will be diverted away from local duties, bosses warn, as protests over mass migration grow.
After days of protests against mass migration outside asylum hotels, with more planned in the coming weeks, there are fears the UK could be heading for another summer of violent disorder.
The gloomy background scenario aside, I can’t help but think that the Britcops should have no staffing issues at all. Perhaps they might consider releasing thousands of their rozzers from monitoring social media for “hate speech”, but that would probably be too much to ask.
What I’ve seen in various other reports is that the number of “sickies” (sick days) in the force seems to be on the rise. Perhaps the rank-and-file don’t have the heart to do what their superiors will be asking them to do.
An interesting situation.
