Hardly. The stereotype of the legendary Scotland Yard went poof in two decades. They still have ample resources to harass Tommy Robinson and monitor social media. It's simply a policy.

Harassment is what is left to the police when the actual justice system behind them is gone. It doesn't work on endemic criminals, and for that matter it doesn't work on TR either.

The collapse of the criminal justice system is not caused by lack of resources. It's caused by legislation and policy.

Then we don't really disagree. I took 'collapse' to mean lack of ability. I think the situation can be reversed in as little as 2 years if the civil servants wanted.

No, very large changes to the law are necessary, possibly a reorganisation of courts and prosecution system.
