Serves him right for kicking and hitting that poor defenceless vehicle. Horrible oik. Probably needed a good wash anyway.

Having the tools to maintain social order is a necessary evil in a civilised society, I'm afraid.

I never knew the plural of cannon was cannon and not cannons

A civilized society should also tolerate peaceful protest, and personally I wouldn't trust a trigger happy and corrupt Met with a spud gun, let alone a water cannon.
I'm only surprised that they haven't asked for plastic bullets, although I don't suppose they really need them, given the damage they do already with real ones without facing any repercussions.

maybe the met could use the water cannon to get rid of some of those pesky homeless people instead of having to put spikes down

Excelent news. Now the protesting, work shy ne'er do wells can have a wash for free as well.

Students will be kicking off just in order to have their yearly bath.

First ones to turn it on? Cockney Rags!

You realise fetters that your post implicitly acknowledges that London is a civilised society?

Come on down to Hoxton, there's a vanilla shot skinny latte with your name on it.

I'm not sure anything skinny is appropriate for me anymore Chris, and I'm more your Shoreditch dropout nowadays.
It surprises me that the Met feel the need to control you unwashed southerners with a large water cannon to be honest, as the rest of Britain seems to be law abiding enough without threats of an impromptu shower.
Will they spray demonstrators in Kensington with Evian water?
