In some areas it is over 80%.<br />Mary does not reflect the view of the average member of the public. Her diatribe is quite simply plagiarism of the comments by ignorant lazy journalists who have no basic understanding of policing.<br />She implies that Winsor may bring about a police service that she can respect. I have pointed out that it will bring about just the opposite.

When she has got G4S patrolling her street, responding to her emergency calls and investigating her crimes she will long for the day she had an accountable police force and someone whose intellect doesn't equate to the minimum wage.<br /><br />The notion that police officers are committing crimes daily is a huge exaggeration. And what the leftie brigade can never get their head around is the fact that the vast majority of officers that do commit offences are teased out by their colleagues.<br /><br />This other fallacy that the police fail to investigate serious crime and focus on soft targets and the innocent is laughable. The prisons are burgeoning because of the failure of the justice system to deal effectively with persistent offenders who go on to commit more and more serious crimes until they eventually get locked up for a long time. The police are the only part of the justice system of any effect whatsoever. The whinging Daily Mail reporter who has a go at the police every time they get a speeding ticket is easy fodder for the average Daily Mail reader like Mary.Lex Ferendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11111622017331655936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588995136414705349.post-1959814777637491332012-06-09T12:21:46.151+01:002012-06-09T12:21:46.151+01:00No opinion of yours MTG is humble.

They are lazy and complacent and for too long have been oneo the last of the vast state monolithic uniformed entities, like nurses and prison warders, who have vast publicity machines which bleat on about how sacred they are. The police is a shambles, with officers often rude, inept, thick, violent and being convicted daily of ciminal offences. They attract no respect from ordinary law abiding citixens any more. The Chief inspector of consabulary is not in post to be a jobsworth native mouthpiece for the wretched police federation or ACPO unions, he or she is there to serve the public interest. That means the public. To make sure the police are behaving properly, getting rid of the criminals in their own ranks, the rude, the violent, the lazy. A police force which investigattes serious crimes as a priority, rather than chasing round at the soft targets of honest people. Then we might have a police force we can respect again"<br />- mary, whitton, middx, 09<br /><br />IMHO, the power of this statement arises from its honest, simple articulation of typical citizen views.Dr MTGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588995136414705349.post-91829607046468613152012-06-09T00:23:40.008+01:002012-06-09T00:23:40.008+01:00This is so depressing that I can't even be bot...This is so depressing that I can't even be bothered to poke fun at the resident clown, Ciaran.<br /><br />At least even he will be able to get a job with the (G4S) police.
