Barry, consider that the world I live in, in Britain, is a world of reality.
We need more Police. Crime is rising, and because of the deficit of the State, the Police Force is being cut. We need to combat crime in our Country. Young girls are being attacked in open areas, criminal-minded people know that the Police are unlikely to be around, and that they will have so much to do already, and might not have the sufficient resources to follow up on crimianl acts and investigate as much as they would need to.
Gun and knife carriers seem to think they are immune to the law. So we don't need to invest massive sums of money in war material to run about the world after other peoples created problems, but should think of investing more resources here at home to defend our own society.
We should introduce a strict campaign against crime here in Britain, with exemplary sentences on criminals, on those who commit violent crime, especially against women and children and people who in general are unable to defend themselves. We need a no mercy no compassion approach on the part of the Law towards violent criminals.
Instead we are getting double messages through: that crime will be fought, and at the same time that criminals are more likely to get let off with a ridiculous sentence if they are caught, or without being arrested at all.
We need to enrol hundreds of thousands more Police and community guards to protect our streets and combat crime. The money invested would go in the pockets of the added personel, who would invest it in the weekly shop or to pay the rent or mortgage, so it would not be wasted money, and would remain within the economy.
This is my vision of defence of our Country. And not sending thousands of young men to Afghanistan to chase armed Afghans around the hills of Kandaha. There are enough thugs here at home to chase and capture and consign to an exemplary prison sentence!
