And that, I'm afraid, is the sort of fuckwittery that infests the Lib-Dems & means all @brianpaddick & @EdwardJDavey are doing to show they are strong on policing is a waste of effort!
I wish they’d consult me before they make fools of themselves! @LibDemPress
Or in fact you might have liked to consult our team in Scotland who helped stop routine deployment of armed police in our peaceful highland communities.
An officer interacting with the community/going into a bakery, who happens to have a gun, is safer than leaving the gun in the car. I understand the concerns about police officers being routinely armed but alternatives need to be found where armed back-up is miles/hours away.
Yes well highland communities don’t take kindly to that sort of thing.
Cultural issue of which I have little understanding. Apologies.
