driving into work this morning listening to radio 4, turns out that the Deputy Assistant Commission of the Metropolitan Police Helen Ball was getting a grilling ..... as an aside..... is she the assistant to the deputy ? ..... or the deputy of the assistant ?....
Anyway turns out that thebullshit brigade metropolitan police are today rolling out a new initiative to persuade Muslim women to ring the Police's 101 help number and tell them of their anxiety about anyone of their muslim men folk going to fight in Syria... and then some specially trained PC Plod will go round to the muslim menfolk and say..... hey fella , your mum/wife/sister/daughter {delete as appropriate} reckons ya guin off to syria to get ya sen shot.......
Helen Ball is completely barking mad ! .... and apparently she is the country's most senior anti terrorist officer ..... lord help us
Is this really what the Police are there to do ? If Helen Ball thinks they are, she is delusional.....
The Police are there to up hold the rule of law in the UK, they are not there to play political agony aunt to one element of our misguided society. Does she really believe that the antidote to this sort of behaviour is a UK policing issue ?...... and the first line of contact for these Muslim woman being some script driven 101 call handler ........
I am not a fool, I know we live in complex times, and I do not jump on the band wagon of saying we need more bobbies on the beat, and heaven forbid we should arm our policemen...... The days of Dixon of Dock Green died with Jack Warner..... evein all.....
But seriously, is this new intitiave what our Police force are reduced to doing....
What next ? stopping pastie lovers moving to Cornwall to fight for homeland rule ? They can keep their hands off the pasties..... I love pies... and I love pasties..... [they are just Cornish pies]....
But listening to the grilling that Dame Helen got this morning, being challenged as to how exactly the initiative would work in practice, and you just knew she was bullshitting her way through the interview..... you can hear her brand of bullshit here.....
Here also is the analysis from the BBC's expert politic bod Dominic Casciani:

Here also is the analysis from the BBC's expert politic bod Dominic Casciani:
Just a few months ago, police chiefs said that anyone returning from fighting in Syria could be stopped, arrested and charged.
This new appeal marks a huge shift in tone and it immediately raises three questions.
Firstly, how will the police actually get their message out if they don't have strong bonds with the women they are trying to reach?
Secondly, do many mothers actually know what their grown-up sons are planning?
However, the third question is perhaps the most important. Do the communities at the heart of the appeal trust the police?
There is no doubt that many Muslim families don't want their sons to go to Syria. But they also fear that if they go to the police their young men will be marked forever as terrorists - no matter what their intentions were when they left or when they returned.
I can think of a more succinct analysis:
Why are we fooking wasting tax payers money on this shit idea ?
This looks like a case for Dept S......
Jason king would get these knobs soon sorted
