The police are completely useless 11:41 - Aug 11 with 5001 viewschicoazul

How much longer must we all put up with this useless frail incompetent ugly organisation in its current form? They are entirely opposite from what they should be, cowering in their offices cars and bunkers while this goes on; Burglary, robbery and theft victims failed by police - watchdog https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62491194

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

Yep - indeed.

But, until we are happy to vote for a party that will properly fund services with increased taxation - which is needed. Nothing is going to change.

I've said before, we lack the ability to have a grown up conversation about how we fund services in the UK (I appreciate that there is a significant discussion to be had about how reliable parties are using public funds, especially recently).

Do we want a properly funded Education system?
Do we want a properly funded Police force?
Do we want a properly funded NHS?

Yes, there are genuine discussions to be had about what level that might be but the reality is - it 'has' to be paid for and the general public won't vote for any party that increases taxes.

Although true enough regards funding the police have treated burglary and car theft with little to no concern for a long time now.

Some friends of mine were burgled, they were a young couple, just moved into their first home with their first chid; a baby just a few weeks old, and some bas***d broke into their home.

They were devastated and the wife was really shaken.

The police casually showed up several days later and weren't really interested. This was getting on for some 30 years ago.

It's insane they quote this level of crime to be so common to not have the resources to tackle it without considering one of the reasons the rate has risen is because of their lax attitude towards it.

Thats because of resourcing.

Who do they spare to deal with a fairly time consuming investigation, with modest prospects of success, whilst under extreme pressure to hit arrest targets etc, and to deal with the bigger stuff?

It’s not the governments fault if the police have a lackadaisical could care less attitude to what they clearly consider minor crimes. They could triple their funding and it won’t change that fundamental. The police are completely useless almost all the time.

What liberal experiment? Its been a "tough on crime" conservative government for a decade, which got rid of thousands of officers.

It is not just taxation, it must also be about the way the money is spent.

I have lived in two other European countries, Sweden and Denmark, where the taxation was bit higher, but the level of services provided was in a completely different league.

What is even worse is that our tax as a percentage of GDP is at it's highest rate since its peak, under the Thatcher government of the early/mid 1980s, yet the level of service we receive for that money seems to be in serious decline

Defunding public service XXX has been the Tory/Right wing policy for almost always.

I think they call it small government though.

Because it's literally the government's job to ensure functional law and order provision.

And because most police are decent people, doing a dangerous stressful job, who are as frustrated as everyone else that they don't have the resources to do it properly.

I don't know the ins and outs of funding etc but where we live in SE London there doesn't seem to be a lack of officers in the local cafe every breakfast and lunch time. They are nowhere to be seen when cars get nicked (probably weekly - often in daylight), however.

Somebody broke into our car a few months ago but couldn't start it so there was actually nothing other than a bit of mess. A neighbour had a fairly decent bit of footage of the blokes doing it - we gave it to the police who just said they didn't have the resources to pursue it. I asked at what point they would get involved in situations like this and they said that they'd assist in retrieving a vehicle if it had actually been stolen, or where there is harm to a person (perhaps a person trying to protect their possessions). I literally burst out laughing. Complete waste of time.
