The thing is that apparently, manpower isn't the problem. What's 5,000 soldiers (if that) going to add to 30,000 police officers?

If you can't deploy all police officers due to unsuitability, how can you deploy soldiers?

Yup it's all about given resources and how much freedom police have been given to use them

the army, not in a get the army in to clear them out way, i mean in putting them into the army, let them get a bit of discipline and pride kicked into them

Said that to my wife earlier, give them a job, 12 weeks of discipline and put them somewhere where they have to rely on each other. Do them the world of good.

I've been a long standing fan of the BBC are regularly have it on for hours a day, however Sky has been far far better reporting this.

First post for me in this thread and in the grand scheme of things it isn't very important, but I do think Ken Livingston has totally missed the mood judging by this interview. Gives me no confidence in him at all.

Moving too fast at times for me to keep up.

That would a left wing policy. If you want beef up law, increase control thats left wing. Right wing is less regulation, less law etc

You can have strong policing from both sides of the spectrum dependant on someone's particular leaning within the left/right.

You get the impression even the BBC reporter who should be impartial thinks he's an idiot!

yet the media still let clowns like him on tv, all he just said is REALLY going to help things now isn't it.

I find it slightly amusing how British folk are the ones causing all of the trouble but yet the foreigners and groups from other countries are fighting back to restore order.

Granted, they are probably doing it within their own interest but without reading into it too deep, its quite funny.

That's because they own most of the property and businesses in the area. Of course they are going to help :/
