Our country today is in a situation where our estimated current population is almost 67 million, and that does not include illegal migrants who the government estimate to be just under 1 million, but in reality the true figure is almost 3 million, according to other reliable surveys.
Across the country, and especially in our cities, the level of violent crimes leading to deaths are rising at an horrendous rate. We also have massive organised crime across the UK, mainly in drugs, that are run by large Eastern European gangs, mainly Romanians but also Albanians who themselves are here illegally.
We also have major and unaddressed issues of child grooming and pedophilia and organised rape across the UK as well as the disgraceful physical violent attacks on young girls in the form of FGM for which there has only ever been one arrest but no conviction in the UK.
These crimes are taking place to 99% in Muslim Majority Areas. Some grooming gangs have been identified and convicted of these offences but these Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities across the country endorse these attacks as part of their social and religious beliefs, and these attacks still continue on a daily basis
Speaking recently to West Indian men in London with whom I grew up in the East End, we discussed the level of violent crime in London. They were honest and up front and freely admitted that gangs have existed for many years, mainly due to their women having 2-3 boys but no father to bring them up. As they got older the mother was unable to keep an eye on them, and this is when the boys became involved in local gangs.
The gangs on the street now apparently have no fear of and total disrespect for the police due to the lack of stop and search. Their total lack of fear of our judicial system is encouraged by the fact that there are no real police on the streets.
But I was also told that the level in severe violent knife and acid attacks was introduced into these gangs by teenage illegal Somalian migrants. They have brought this level of violence into our cities which has long been established as normal in Somalia, causing countless deaths and severe injuries.
Most of the knife and acid attackers are involved in drug dealing. I was shocked when I was told that young, 12- 16 boys and girls who are acting as drug dealers, travelling all over the country in pursuit of deals, are each making at least £1000 a day selling drugs. The drugs are supplied by ever increasing large Eastern European gangs who are importing drugs by the lorry load into the UK on a daily basis.
Local communities in cities across the UK are now living in a state of fear for their own personal and their families security, due to the rampant level of crime of all sorts across all areas.
Why has this happened?
I firmly believe that the government have not only reduced dramatically the numbers of police officers across the UK, but also all of our armed forces who are now almost in a state of being unoperational, and that these reductions were carried out due to the government’s wish to stay in the EU, to have our police and military fully integrate into the EU system. This will never be admitted by our political elite!
What should happen now?
Having been an ex Metropolitan Police Officer I constantly speak to police officers across the country about the situation they are in and what their views are on what is happening. They are all at the end of the road when it comes to their future. A very large number have told me they are resigning due to the lack of numbers, their lack of pay and conditions and what they are expected to do on a daily basis. This, they all readily admit, is not just down to the government and the Home Office but also to their senior officers who seem to be only concerned about achieving their next rank, regardless of the stress placed on their officers on the ground.
The government needs to wake up to the realities of what is happening across the UK, led by London with the ever increasing level of crime that is not being addressed.
I strongly believe that we have a massive, unused asset across the UK: our Military Veterans. Remember: a veteran is someone who has left the armed forces, be it last week, or 30 years ago, and the number of these highly trained and operationally experienced people available is over 250k.
Speaking to John Radley, an ex-Irish Guardsman who was blown up by an IRA bomb in London in 1981 in Chelsea Barracks, now the CEO of a security company called Brigade Guarding who are now specifically employing ex-veterans and ex police officers across the UK, he advised me that they are now providing security for many communities in towns and cities across the UK. This role arose because of communities’ fears of not having bobbies on the streets in their areas. Now, these areas are patrolled by uniformed veterans who are working closely with the local police. These local patrols are financed by residents. They have now seen a huge drop in crime levels in the areas that Brigade Guarding are covering.
In view of the constant level of requests for coverage from communities across the country, John is now increasing his operation staffing level from 600 to 6000 veterans. They are highly trained and experienced and would be able to carry out a huge number of roles that are currently being ignored by the government, for instance, enforcing our Border Control: only 7% of all transport coming into this country on a daily basis is checked either physically or electronically. How many illegal migrants, drugs or even guns, ammunition, and explosives are getting in on the 93% of unchecked vehicles?
This is just another issue that is being ignored: identifying and removing illegal migrants from our country: these people are in the main causing our communities real problems. Work closely with the police to identify and remove gangs across the country, as the current police numbers make it totally impossible for the majority of these ever increasing serious problems in our society to be dealt with.
I could go on forever, expressing the huge unused Veterans Asset, but it is a fact: they are there and waiting, and more than willing to help protect the British People again. Many have said to me, and I am one of them, “I swore allegiance to my Queen and Country when I joined the Armed Forces”. That was then, and now we must pressure the government to use this huge asset at whatever the financial cost. The general opinion is this should be funded by scrapping Foreign Aid. The public and police need desperate help, and these veterans are sitting and waiting.
My proposed policy for UKIP:
- Increase the number of police officers by 120,000 across the UK.
- Re-open local police stations or build new ones.
- Ensure uniformed foot patrol officers will in future cover known crime areas.
- Reduce the restrictions on Stop and Search.
- Increase the police officers pay by 5%.
- Fully integrate the professional skills and experience of our highly professional and experienced military veterans urgently into policing areas of serious crime.
- Re-employ retired ex-CID officers and use their huge, currently wasted knowledge and investigative skills to deal with terrorism, organised and major crime.
Some excellent proposals but are they not treating the symptons rather than seeking a cure. First there must be a complete halt on all immigration and asylum and a redoubled effort to extradite illegals.
And build more prisons and strengthen the law to be more draconian in sentencing offenders. No more slaps on the wrist, more
and longer prison sentences. And where possible returning the culprit to his original country.
It seems to me the retirement age of the police (60) is too low. 65 is fine , with the older officers put on desk duties /training
The amount of extra funding (a crude calculation) based on the above would be about 12 billion a year. That would have to come from taxation.
Trouble is that I don’t trust all our police anymore. I know that the majority are decent and brave, but I feel uncomfortable about them being used as on-line guards and enforcers of the quite absurd ‘hate-crime’ rules
I haven’t got a perfect solution, this is just me debating how I feel.
The Cultural Marxist organisation calling itself Common Purpose and highly praised by Theresa May is at the root of all the problems.
Eradicate this organisation and all its hangers on, and we might be some way to getting back to a bit or order in our chaotic and damaged country.
Common Sense not Common Purpose.
Spot on. Not exposed enough by Ukip imho.
Excellent article David and the contents are extremely interesting and very informative, I knew very little of the facts, but have learnt a lot, so thank you. I also fully agree with your proposed policies and ideas, as well as acknowledging the other comments made here.
I was told not so long ago that anyone wishing to become a Policeman these days has to have a University Degree, otherwise you will not be considered. Can anyone tell me whether this is correct, because surely all police officers training should start on the beat working with their more senior counterparts, before moving up through the ranks?
I also understand that because Policemen now need a degree to be accepted into the service, they will be parachuted up the force in order to receive the increased salaries, enabling them to repay their University fees and no more policemen on the beat.
If the above is true, we are not going to see an increase in ‘Dixon’s of Dock Green’ any time soon!
Not quite correct, but new entrants now join university degree courses for two years. It’s also now possible to join at different levels now with some backgrounds and qualifications. The problem is not how people enter, but rather how they are trained and led.
There needs to be a Royal Commission into the police service, Blair started the rot and Cameron accelerated the politicisation with the implementation of ‘elected police commissioners’ . Politicians have wanted control over the police for generations, and this is now almost complete, look forward to armed regional police as apart of a national police service based on the e.u model of policing. Bramshill ( now closed and sold off) once the National Staff College, called itself the European Police College at one time while flying the e.u flag.
Few people are interested though, only when they personally become affected by crime and little action by the police takes place do they show any interest in what has happened not only to the police but to criminal justice system in general .
No good doing anything until we clear out the top layers of corrupted “management”. Should be plenty of good coppers who have given up and left in disgust who might relish the chance of coming back to doing a proper job – we just have to find them..
May and successive governments have alienated the Police and Armed Forces. Policing has gone “backwards” from a state of the Police being in the community unarmed to a state of remoteness and highly armed (tasers, batons spays and guns). How is that progess?
Thank you for your excellent thread Dave. Sadly this is where we pull it about a bit.
5. Increase pay by 5% ?
Not in total agreement on this one. I prefer to sack all PC and diversity desk jockeys using the police service as another tool to divide and rule us.
Use those savings to award a 5% or more increase for every police officer on the beat. Get those lazy bar stewards out of the office and back on the street.
To add;
I would also make it illegal for UK police staff to attend NWO open borders Common Purpose training sessions and demote everyone that has already attended one.
They are our bought and paid for police officers, not George Soros’s.
Re-opening police stations and increasing police numbers is a vote winner that the country will fully support.
On knife crime . My dad taught me to fight fair . there was plenty of practice about . Pace Ben Stokes .
In peacetime weapons were what criminals cowards and foreigners used , mostly on each other .
So Police could focus on villains not trivial rows turning into homicides.
But no dads , no school ( thanks NUT) no job…
ti na kanome ? as they say in Europe
The Money ? Not just Foreign AId waste, also £15-20Bn pa sent to Junkers wine cellar .
Scrap subsidies to hippy energy fantasies. No welfare of any kind for immigrants until 10 years taxpaying record .
Sack all the translators. If you cant live in English what are you here for ?
Oh did I forget HS2 ? £50bn with price escalating faster than can be counted .
Now lets get controversial.
Stop subsidising the Scottish National Socialist nonsense.
have I earned my pocket money yet ?
I agree that we need more police and prison officers, but the first question is: “where is the money coming from?” We have a horrendous national debt, and pay a phenomenal amount of interest to service that debt. Debt reduction should be a top priority, and only then can we afford to do the things that need doing.
How about the Foreign Aid budget? If that was reduced from present £14 billion to around £2.5 billion of essential aid, ie cutting out the vanity projects to places like oil rich Nigeria, there would be a lot of money to spend at home. Police, NHS, cash strapped councils etc.
Scrapping HS2 would free up a lot of money too, although we would have to write off the billions that have already been spent, the projected cost seems to keep increasing every year. That is probably about £70bn that could be better spent funding vital services that benefit EVERYBODY, rather than an expensive high-speed train that will benefit very few, apart from the super-wealthy.
Agree with you on that one as well Stuart. When you think about it there is no good reason for any of our essential services to be short of money. Of course nothing will change while we have the LibLabCon ruling the roost in Westminster.
@SJ,
With regards to the HS2 bounty given to the Parliamentary Chumocracy could we surcharge all MPs that voted for it ?
Even if not possible now it would make us very popular for mentioning it.
Imagine the clenched bum cheeks if corrupt MPs were threatened with the bailiffs
Have you considered a return to The Bradbury Pound as existed around 1914? That would represent TREASURY issued money (without interest) as opposed to Bank of England issued credit WITH interest. There is a world of difference.
Why hamper ourselves with costings ? People vote for treats with little thought of who pays and when.
We have a tendency to offer the unelectable policies of banning, stopping and removing that put us in a negative light.
Offer treats and tell the electorate that those evil offshore tax evaders will pay.
The country is awash with money. Enough to pay the EU £39 billion and £11 billion a year to foreign governments to secure arms deals and influence.
You have a point.
I completely agree with Dave Moreland. The government has completely abdicated the security of this country. I t is also compounded by the fact that they will not report the origin of criminals on the news programmes. If the report of a stabbing comes through on TV news my wife and I nod to each and say……….blacks. Nine times out of ten we are right. The most recent gang rapes were automatically assumed to be Asian. Do the government think we are so thick we do not know these things. I will say that we are not always right, but the average is over 95% correctness. Enough to protect ourselves. All e mails from Nigeria are deleted. All phone calls claiming to be from microsoft are ignored.
The thing is in my opinion the Police do not walk the beat ,do not tackle crime properly and are politically motivated to protect minorities over the main British public. The human rights act and political correctness has destroyed the effectiveness of our Police force and I believe that both of these need to be ignored with impunity from the Police so they can do what is expected of them.
“Problem-reaction-solution” as David Icke puts it.
The goal is as you put it “to stay in the EU, to have our police and military fully integrate into the EU system. This will never be admitted by our political elite!”
If the government came clean and admitted this, the public would never accept it. It would have to be introduced by the public ‘demanding’ it.
So they create a problem, underfund the police, tie their hands behind their backs, and allow violent crime to increase unchecked (which also has the desired side-effect of having the public ‘living in fear’ – people living in a constant state of fear are far easier to manipulate)
Then you get the ‘reaction’ from the public, who understandably get sick of all this, and when you hear the cries of “something must be done!” then you can strike.
The ‘solution’ is then presented, which involves European police officers ‘co-operating’ or ‘partnering’ with UK police operations. “Eurogendfors” or whatever its called. It may well begin as a ‘partnership’, with armed Euro police on the streets, but then expect to see our own UK police force slowly ‘phased out’. And of course, once the Eurogendfors are on our streets, there’ll be no getting rid of them, and no Brexit either.
Just watch, I can guarantee that this recent ‘terrorist attack’ will be the first of many more, all designed to completely soften us up… “something must be done!”
A few years back there was an internet movement dedicated to the idea of “Free Men”, it was an oddball outfit that reeked of men at keyboards in basements.
One theme that was mentioned several times was that there were two kinds of policemen:
The old fashioned man with the funny hat, often referred to as plod, or a policeman. People knew him as he pedalled or walked along the streets keeping an eye out and cuffing small male units for scrumping etc.
The modern version, much thinner on the ground and cruising about occasionally in their BMW’s… usually when there haven’t been enough “nicks” for the month. These chaps are dedicated to collecting fines and issuing tickets, and should be more properly known as “policy men”. The problem with these is that they end up investigating more murders, because nobody is seeing what is happening on their ground until it is too late.
We need many more of the first type and we don’t need any of the latter, unfortunately the reverse is the case.
Mr Moreland is correct in stating that they need to be paid properly and there need to be many more. If these very useful people were paid properly there would be no reason to scale the rat-pipe of management either…
There would nothing wrong with standing up and being proud to be a lifelong Mr. Plod.
First Common Purpose must be recognised and addressed. Before increasing police numbers, first ensure the existing ones are not deployed snooping on critics of the government (I think they call this “Hate Speech”). And stop and search: I would not fancy this in the hands of the present powers that be: I’m convinced all this would achieve would be to make life a misery for 80 year old grannies and other easy targets.
I agree, and I was pleased to hear Gerard Batten call out Cressida Dick and her links to Common Purpose the other day. Far too many people are unaware of this sinister organisation and its role in the Agenda. I hope UKIP will become more vocal about this.
Gerard Batten clearly ventures where Nigel Farage fears to tread.
