We congratulate the Tories for hitting their target of hiring 20,000 police officers
Twit coppers
IT was disastrous enough that our MPs became obsessed with Twitter.
Even worse that our police did too.
What else explains their abandonment of the law-abiding public to focus on enforcing wokery?
Online, they habitually side with the virtue-signalling Left — and misuse their powers to warn off dissenters.
On the street, cops confuse eco-cult sociopaths for “nice people on the right side of history” and collar innocent but enraged drivers who cannot get to work.
So as we congratulate the Tories for hitting their target of hiring 20,000 officers, we also applaud Home Secretary Suella Braverman for warning police that their standing is in mortal danger.
That cops must not “take the knee” or let vandals topple statues or jam roads.
Nor must forces blow funds on inclusivity training when there is crime to fight.
Are chief constables listening to her?
Or too busy getting “likes” on Twitter?
Suella may yet need to haul a few in — and fire them.
Homes failure
THE Tories should be ashamed if a child born in 2023 has just a one in three chance of owning a home before they turn 50.
Housing is one of the party’s gravest failures.
Nowhere near enough are built for our soaring population.
NIMBYs’ objections are prioritised — and that, plus years of cheap credit sending prices soaring, has put buying a first home beyond many young people.
It’s a calamity: Economically, sociologically and — for the Tories — politically.
Jihadi jails
WE’RE all for greater understanding of the many religions in our increasingly diverse population.
So long as authorities are not deterred from tackling their extremists.
Eradicating prejudice against Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and others is vital.
A major Home Office report finds even the NHS occasionally mistreats them.
But an exaggerated focus on white supremacists in prisons has allowed vicious jihadi gangs to turn some into violent hotbeds of Islamist radicalisation and Sharia Law.
Increased tolerance of mainstream views must not blind us to fanatics’ evil.
‘Bully’ plot
FLUSHED with their success ousting Dominic Raab for “bullying”, civil servants now target the Health Secretary.
Officials have reportedly “raised concerns” that Steve Barclay sometimes tells staff off.
Well, that surely merits a judge-led public inquiry or full criminal trial.
Funny how every Brexit-backing minister is smeared as a bully or “thick”.
Does anyone still doubt this is a plot by Labour-backing Whitehall Remainers?
