I have some sympathy with your reticence but like it or not the Prime Minister has already turned it into a point scoring exercise

Her whole speech was electioneering in my opinion but I have respect for the dead & injured & their grieving families - at least for one day
-
I agree, that's very noble, and campaigning should have been suspended, but Theresa May has violated that agreement.

You just said we shouldn't politically point-score. Then make the massive assertion "the cuts were not a problem". Wow.

>That said, Peter is right that there are fewer armed officers and cuts in community policing hampers community intelligence vital to safety

Time has passed for pussyfooting around this. Cuts to especially Community policing has made these horrible events more likely to occur.

Let me make a non-party political point as a former cop. In my opinion the cuts to policing have gone too far & we are less safe as a result

You're the best of our movement, Brian - thank-you for that you continue to do.

The truth is not political point scoring. May's bn warned time & again but doesn't listen. She must be held accountable for her actions.

Agree. Not by the police anyway. Also Kirkham a man of questionable integrity and loyalties.

Fair enough. His point seems mainly on patchiness of resources (and of course intelligence gathering). Would be interested to hear tomorrow.
