    What you really should be asking is whether Jeremy Corbyn can provide the stability and strength required to negotiate with the EU.
    Is what she'd say. The twat.

  2. How feckin' ironic would it be if May is brought down by her undermining of the Police and Fire Services when she was Home Secretary!
    There will certainly be few tears shed within UK law enforcement if she comes a cropper!! (Not 'copper' lol)

    Ironic? Appropriate.
    She screwed it up. She should pay the price.
    It's the ideology of her party and it's flaws are clear.

    Cressida Dick's been singing May's praises today...almost as if she knows that, the second May's out the door, she's getting the sack - and so she should, given she was the one who authorised the execution-style killing of Jean Charles de Menezes.

  5. There won't be too many mourning her that's for sure! A May appointee. Good riddance to both!

  6. Irony in that of all the things that bring her down, it's a direct result of her combined ineptitude and ideology that has surfaced so plainly in Election week.
    Looks like Corbyn has identified it too.....

    If you're going to push yourself as a law and order candidate, then it's probably a good idea to actually be one.

  8. I see the IPCC have already announced 'their' investigation into the events on Saturday night. Don't think they will find too much public appetite for a politically-motivated attack on those firearm officers who took out the 3 terrorists!

    An organisation that was enhanced and financed by May to help her further control the Police. Very quick to try and make an impression, but totally ineffective and routinely breaching the rights of those it investigates by delay and prevarication.

    May was saying in 2016 that she would rebrand it to the 'Office of Police Conduct' and further enhance its powers, but that seems to have been lost in the post-Brexit months.......

    Most people would accept the use of lethal force but if theres a few complaints arent they obliged to investigate? All it takes is for a few trolls, a few very very strong pacifists and some isis sympathesers to get write a complaint...

    Agreed. **** 'em...they got what they asked for. And probably what they wanted.

  11. They have a statutory duty to investigate every 'death in Police custody' and that terminology includes basically any circumstance where police have had recent contact with the deceased. In most cases, that 'investigation' amounts to no more than being made aware of the circumstances and passing it back to the Force to fully investigate.
    However, in recent times this has been used as a political opportunity - and a chance for self-publicity. The trouble is that they are an organisation made up of largely failed investigators who are either professionally incompetent or following agenda orders. So in almost every scenario the net result is that neither the Police nor the Public are well-served by their actions.

    You can't possibly afford to follow up promising leads which may identify genuinely dangerous people when you need every penny to deny entire nations their right to privacy.

    No, you misunderstand. We have to take away your right to privacy in order to defend the freedoms that these terrorists don't believe in (!)

    Diane Abbott is like a school kid. Sometimes, just sometimes it's better just to own up and say that you haven't actually done your homework, than try to fumble your way through.

    Now, she cancels a radio debate because she phoned in sick. Embarrassing! <doh>

    As opposed to a perfectly healthy Prime Minister chickening out of not just an appearance on Women's Hour, but a televised leader's debate...

    Proving my previous arguments all along. Voting either red or blue is like pointing a gun to your own head.

    Diane Abbott is definitely like a school kid, but Theresa May is like the Head Girl, who thinks she owns the place.
