Who Watches The Watchmen?

The British Police have not had a good year in 2011. Firstly there was the complete collapse of law on the streets, when the police failed to tackle the street scum of London and other cities, while they looted, robbed, mugged and burnt out the law abiding ..... even an internal report has condemned the poor responses of the London and other police forces.

There have even been suggestions that in Manchester it was a 'societal issue' and was caused by 'deprivation', and therefore it was somehow 'inevitable' that rioters and looters would succeed. Not the fact that the policing was very poor, or that its the congregation of criminals in certain postcodes that creates the deprived areas in the first place.

London Riot - A 100 yr old business, gone forever.

Then there was the mindless killing of an Indian man in Salford, in which his parents only found out via his "Facebook" page, and for which the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) suddenly stumped up a £50,000 reward because it was classified as a 'hate' aka 'race crime'. Now considering the fact that there are hundreds of murders in the UK each year, this begs the simple question, if it had been a white victim of a black attacker (of course that never happens in a multicultural paradise, where only one group are ever capable of 'racist' crimes ...), would a reward of £50,000 have been offered?

I don't remember any murder, even the much publicised hunt for the killers of Stephen Lawrence, or the Boxing day shops 'gang' (black on black) murder of Seydou Diarrassouba, ever having prompted the offer of such a large amount, but then they aren't perhaps as 'politically sensitive' as the Labour funded GMP.

But to cap a bad year, the politically correct policing of the UK has seemingly produced police forces who can't even apparently prevent robberies in their own police stations ..... a report issued today, shows that hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of equipment and personal belongings have been stolen from police stations across Britain .... the worst hit in 2011 were the following forces;

• Greater Manchester - £86,910
• Strathclyde - £22,524
• Northumbria - £19,858
• Essex - £15,406
• Surrey - £9,657

But every force had examples, from a £10,000 patrol car and £30,000 private vehicle stolen from GMP, through, police cars, computers, warrant cards, bikes, riot shields, a battering ram, breathalysers, a small fridge, CCTV footage and a TV, to a packet of crumpets from Priory Road police station in Hull.

The Taxpayers' Alliance director Emma Boon said that "The list of stolen items is truly astonishing and taxpayers will worry that police giving out crime prevention advice can't seem to avoid being robbed themselves," and called for an investigation.

Maybe if the police and courts in Britain actually concentrated of police work, and the sentencing of criminals of any racial aspect, and not on political policing, in which some crimes are racially 'high profile' and given maximum resources, while the bread and butter policing, such as upholding law and order on the streets of our 'deprived estates' or on the shopping high-streets are allowed to fail. Then maybe we would all have more confidence that our society isn't simply breaking down on the margins.

UK Police are looking for their stolen items. 

A Roman poet Juvenal once asked in his 'Satires', "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?", which can be translated loosely as 'Who polices the police?' ..... I suspect he didn't realise that in the UK it would be read as 'who protects the police from the thieves!'
