Maybe part of the problem is that Britain does not have a real police force. Their bobbies are more or less mall security guards with timid superiors who genuflect to the altar of political correctness and even decline to participate in what PC is allowed to be.
We have a more robust and armed patrol force but we are slowly and surely succumbing to being led into what is PC. Everyone now is a racist as long as it is a white male. Same for being a sexual predator regardless of the actual ‘offense’. At least many of us are pushing back against that BS.
I wouldn’t mind our police being more like Harry Callahan from the Dirty Harry movies.
I guess I sounded more angry when my real emotion about this is ...sadness.
I love the Brits. They are usually in control and I admire that. Generally, they are courteous, classy and I love the accent...as most people do.
But, I read about this problem several years ago, then nothing, no news, and I assumed it got better. Well, I was wrong and I am perplexed that no solution is being applied.
Being an Anglophile, I have many books about the Monarchy, which I find fascinating.
I hate what is happening and some of those same things are happening here. Makes one feel helpless.
