Until this sort of crime seriously affects the middle class nothing will be done.<br />I'm glad I'm out. The capacity and capability of the Met to respond to theses incidents is now hollowed out. The political class don't care, the police are demonized at every opportunity by a lazy press. I would not advise anyone to join the police at the moment.<br />RetiredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434417594974826136.post-13617221869736642942017-09-08T14:40:38.096+01:002017-09-08T14:40:38.096+01:00So sad.
