The Met: Policing in London
I have been riveted watching this programme on the BBC iPlayer, a fascinating insight into the things our Police have to put up with.I so admire our Police and the incredibly difficult jobs they do with understanding, patience and a sort of human kindness. I guess Policing is often quite boring, not like the programmes we see on TV, but these men and women are so admirable, with their patience, politeness and great work ethic that keeps them going day and night with all the aggression they have to face.There is far to little money put into our national Policing and I have no idea what's going on with the CPS and the judges. I had a short brush with the justice system (as a witness) and it just seemed a shambles. It's time to spend good money on our justice system to backing our police, not just to be let down.On the other hand, I know that the majority of people who are in prison, shouldn't be there. They have drink and drug problems, they have serious mental problems, many have come from a care system that didn't care for them.Don't you think it's about time we started making provision for youngsters up to adulthood, instead of putting them on drug ridden estates or into care. This country has the worst record on young offenders, it goes back to the Victorian times and we haven't grown out of it. It seems so simple to me, I guess it's a question of money. Maybe every hedge funder and celebrity should be made to contribute 10% of their earnings to youth projects, not to mention all the arms dealers and social media billionaires. Aaargh, must stop ranting, I feel so frustrated.
