If he had told them that he had a gun and he was going to use it, they would have been around immediately. It is quite simple. Labour Party policing means ticking boxes. It means solving crimes. It means that there is no point in attending a crime scene if the perpetrators are not going to be there to be arrested. If the householder threatens to defend himself, the police will attend, because he is going to be there and available to be arrested, charged, prosecuted and convicted.

Next time you are burgled, phone and tell the police that a crowd of OAP Bowls Club pensioners have broken in, and the whole force will turn up.

Sounds like the fellow here in NH who was dealing with a nuisance bear. Had been an ongoing problem with the bear getting more and more fearless and aggressive. F&G told him they couldn’t be there for a couple hours. So he shot and killed the bear himself. There were several fishcops there within a few minutes.
I thought it was only in NH but I see it’s like that everywhere.
Talk about gross incompetence—and it evidently encompasses the entire police department—from top to bottom!
(I recall Nottingham has a long history regarding robbery. This axe wielding group, however, doesn't seem to be “robbing the rich to give to the poor”!)
