The Conservative Party's former chief strategist, Steve Hilton, has called on Theresa May to resign over cuts to police and security services.
This also comes at a time when a former chief inspector for the Met and by the former head of special branch in Belfast have both slammed May's cuts to the services as damaging Britain's security:
somehow I keep reading that these attackers are known to the police, they've been reported by neighbours or fellow Muslims (just as everyone insists they should be) for radicalising kids ... and yet nothing happens. Nonetheless, all May's fanboys insist that this couldn't possibly be anything to do with the Home Secretary, who has what is laughingly...
so is anyone saying that the reduction in police caused this? Nope, is anyone saying that it would not have happened had there bee more police? Nope, they where dead in 8 minutes, I'd say that's as fast as can be hoped for regardless of numbers.
So the fact that all perpetrators of the three recent terror attacks were known to the police beforehand after being reported by their peers does not suggest to you that there may be a problem?
I just find it rather surprising that all these people who are experienced security professionals who know a good deal about counter terrorism seem to think this is an important issue, yet May presents herself as credible on security.
I can't defend the reducing of police numbers but I wouldn't call for May to resign or join in any rallying call against the Cons because quite simply I can not get passed the nightmare alternative.
