Timing is everything, as they say.
Apologies in advance for my timing, if it's already been posted.
Nothing one could say could sum up this guy more than this video.
Do you think the reduction in police numbers and closure of police stations has being one of the factors in the increase in knife crime and deaths?
Im not sure that people think "Oh look police numbers have reduced so I'll go and stick a blade in someone". But I am sure that video sums up his lack of intellect that any comment anyone could make.
I think your posts sum up your lack of intellect.
It’s a national disgrace that our streets are so unprotected.

I think the fact that you have a need to get personal on a thread about the Labour party says you are a bit lonely.
The question was. Do you think the reduction in police numbers and closure of police stations has being one of the factors in the increase in knife crime and deaths?
Why are you sure that the video sums up a ‘lack of intellect’?
I used exactly the same insult you did.
I didn't try to insult you though.
I think I already answered the first point. As regards the second well, I guess if you cant see it you don't want to. If you want more evidence of his lack of intellect I suggest you listen to his interviews. Now if you'll forgive me I'm off to discuss more important issues than the Labour party like the game on Saturday.
You didn’t answer the question. You gave a flip comment that I did the courtesy of ignoring. The video is amusing but it doesn’t negate the point he is making about police numbers and it’s a concern shared by many even by those who don’t share his politics.
You've just bored my glass eye to sleep.
Still a refusal to debate the point.
Do you feel there’s enough police present on the streets to keep the public safe, yes or no?
No, and there never will be. Now I really am off to debate more interesting topics with more interesting people. No offence.
What does it matter how many police there are if the ones we have are not visible on the streets?If you believe there never will be then enough then surely the more the better?
Surely if you think we’ll never have enough making further cuts is disastrous?
Go on then, embarrass yourself elsewhere if you wish.

How often does anyone see a copper on the beat nowadays? It's now a very rare occurrence, and if they're
restricting stop and search, which has happened, then knife carrying and stabbing will just carry on,
even with a million more police. Now I know that stop and search is going ahead again, but with the
usual suspects wailing about freedom/racism etc; if it's not carried out robustly, police numbers are irrelevant.
Wrong.They aren’t visible because they’ve fucking cut loads of them!
Why don’t people understand this!
It’s very simple: the government have massively cut police numbers and crime has sky rocketed.
Wrong.
Yes, we know the numbers have been cut, it was May who did it and it was a stupid decision, but that doesn't
alter the fact that you never see coppers about.
At all.
Again, are you suggesting that there are no police available to walk the beat? That would literally mean we don't have any
at all, we do, so why are they not out in numbers? As we speak, hundreds of them are now around in London,
having to (sort of) deal with hundreds of crackpots blocking the city, they are there in force, so although diminished they're
about. If they do not engage in stop and search, vigorously, nothing will change.
