some people are never happy. You moan when he doesnt do anything and then when he does you moan that its too late!
He cant win either way!!
Always someone
He could win if he'd:
A - Returned from holiday sooner (really he SHOULD have returned based on the economic crisis that unfolded on Friday)
B - Authorised water cannon & baton rounds MUCH sooner
C - Not allowed the patronising c*nt that is Theresa May to come on TV and say "Oh that's not how we police in Britain". Arrogant Tw*t.
D - LISTENED to the good guys. The ones defending the goverment and police when they said on Monday that water cannons/the army were needed.
YES he has now taken some action but it's too little too late. The announcement that water cannons are available at 24 hr notice seems really an attempt to placate those that are pissed off with his lack of stronger action. Really they've ALWAYS been available at 24 hr notice. They're only in NI. All he's done is said it would be considered.
People DIED last night because they felt UNprotected on their own streets. The felt that they HAD to stand out and defend their community and neighbourhood because the police were overwhelmed. Some Yob mowed those 3 people down.
HAD Dave given the police the authority to act STRONGER, HARDER & FASTER yesterday then perhaps this could have been avoided and those 3 young men would have felt reassured and that they did not need to go out and defend their country themselves.
So yes, people ARE pissed off. Just because he has acted now we cannot be expected to just ignore his failure to agree action that most of the UK requested 2 days ago!
