A few months ago, I posted some thoughts on how we should devolve and remodel our police forces.
Now in the aftermath of the English riots, it is essential that we take control of our police forces away from London, as otherwise we will have irrelevant solutions imposed on us for non-existent problems.
I am not saying thet we do not have problems here in Wales, but we do not need to be subject to David Cameron's knee-jerk reactions.
Devolve Policing and Criminal Justice now.
The way the riots have been handled by the UK government illustrates why we need to devolve Policing and Criminal Justice. Not only would we make a better job of it,but we wouldn't be mired in the corruption associated with foreign media barons and their unhealthy influence over Government and Policing at the highest level.
ReplyDeleteThe Welsh government should muster the courage to demand control, as Scotland has, over policing and Criminal justice as soon as possible before more damage is done by the ineptitude of the UK government.
Does anyone know what is the latest position on elected police commissioners? Last I heard was this was an impasse between Home Office and WG. Is this still the case?
