Obviously not-- your posts are evidence enough of that.
If you don't think the meaning of the term "murder" is central to the post you initially responded to, you're being obtuse.
The other solution is to put cameras everywhere for everyone in a 1984-like state.
There are a whole host of societal issues that underpin crime. I don't think law enforcement tends to be the big one for reducing it. Countries would do better to look at tackling poverty, low social cohesion, lack of mutual respect and things like that.
It's easier to use police to tackle, and it gets harder to tackle with crime also coinciding.
Police don't so much tackle as contain... often not very well. And as the USA amply demonstrates, unless the root causes of crime are tackled, the police end up moving towards a paramilitary, occupying force hated and feared by the community they are supposed to serve and protect.
Oh absolutely. But Laura Norda giving more money to the police, or bigger prison term is the easier thing for politicians to say they are doing.
I mentioned this in the Anti-Woke thread too-- he also did an LBC phone interview in which he repeatedly refuses to acknowledge it and accuses them of editing the clip (they didn't).
I'm not British and I'm not terribly familiar with British politics, but why is this guy suddenly the hero of the Left? You'd think someone this openly homophobic would've been left by the wayside.
Because, regrettably, many people are simpletons whose political awareness extends as far as say 'Hurr Kieth didn't win!'. They have no interest in things getting better, they just want to roll around in their despair silos while pointing the finger and making absolutely zero contribution to the world. Galloway should have been chucked in the bin and rolled down a hill decades ago.
He's not a hero of the British left, really. He's a bit of a meme in British politics, best known nationally for doing a cringey imitation of a cat on Big Brother.
