I'm getting quite irritable, not to say bloody annoyed, at reading
criticism of the police handling of the current riots. Firstly,
whatever they do, they seem to be damned by doing too much by one side
or not enough by another. Secondly, people complain about not seeing
enough police when 'incidents' occur. Well, hello, moan about this in
'peacetime' and not when it's too late and moan to the politicians who
advocate soft sentencing and going easy on users of drugs.

...And those politicians who slash public services including the police
budgets?
