If you are worried, as I am, about how Britain is policed and the shift away from policing by consent by the vast majority of forces towards authoritarianism, then a series of posts over at the Raedwald blog may be of great interest to you. They were certainly of interest to me. As well as diagnosing the problems that the police currently suffer from and examining how once local police forces have transformed into regional behemoths remote from the public, Raedwald also suggests ways to cure the problems.
It is pretty obvious that policing in Britain is becoming disfunctional. We can see that by their failure, such as in Greater Manchester, to only have a clear up rate for property and other similar crime of 40%. We can observe the disfunctionality of police forces by how rapidly they have become imbued with ‘woke’ culture. This has meant that police forces have to spend time investigating stuff that is ephemeral such as hurty words while the British subjects they are supposed to be protecting get burgled, suffer vehicle crime, anti social behaviour and offences against the person. However, the most notable evidence of police failure to carry out their sworn duties comes from the ever lengthening cases of Islamic Rape Gangs. For base reasons, mostly connected I believe to a desire by the police not to incite Muslim violence or to advance individual officer’s own careers by keeping the ‘taint’ of ‘racism’ off of their records, kept quiet about these crimes. We’ve seen various police forces up and down the land that have allowed the mass rape of British girls by very well organised Islamic Rape Gangs and I believe that nothing less than a Royal Commission on the Police is required to investigate what has gone on and maybe look at some of the suggestions made by Raedwald.
I do believe that our police forces are too big, certainly too big for everyday policing and that more localisation may bring more accountability from the police although smaller forces may not have specialist expertise in some areas. There’s argument’s for and against smaller forces, I for example can see an opportunity for very local forces to become vulnerable to very local corruption. Would anyone for example believe that giving Bradford or Brighton for instance their own sub regional police force would not result in religious or political corruption of the police? It is a possibility that needs to be considered and guarded against if smaller forces are part of our policing future.
I really can’t recommend Raedwald’s police articles enough, they are very well thought out and written. You can find them by the links below.

I remember watching 2 former Chief Constables of South Yorkshire Police, David Crompton and Meredydd Hughes being grilled by the House of Commons Select Comittee about the Rotherham grooming scandal. What struck me was how pathetic and unconvincing their answers were to the questions they were asked. They clearly came across as being hopelessly unsuitable for such a post. In fact I believe an inquiry should be made into how either of them were allowed so far up the ranks in the first place. They can be still heard on YouTube which hosts their dismal performance in front of the Select Comittee. I don’t believe the Public would be satisfied the the promotion method the SYP practices. How many other police forces are run by such baffoons.
