Theresa May endangered every one of us by cutting police numbers
Theresa May and police officers: They should have arrested her [Image: Daily Telegraph].
Look at this comment on my earlier article about the soldiers being deployed – allegedly because of the current “critical” terror threat:
“Security expert being interviewed on Radio 4 explaining that a limited number of troops will be deployed at key sites but will be under police control thus freeing up armed police to do other duties.
“Interviewer points out.. ‘So this is because of a shortfall in police officers?’
“His answer.. ‘Yes.’
“Troops on the street is not because the threat level has been raised to critical but because the then-Home Secretary, the PM who now wants your vote, has cut police numbers to a level that puts the people she wants to vote for her in danger.
“Strong and Stable? .. More a danger to me and my family. #toriesout”
Billboard posters calling Theresa May a threat have started appearing, sponsored by the People’s Campaign Against Austerity.
Yes. Theresa May is a danger to us all. So is any Conservative government.
The only way back to sanity is to vote Labour on June 8.

She and her lot are great they send all our troop to the Russian border for a threat that doesn’t exist apart from in the US minds, they cut the police and take on people that some time back would not be excepted, and they back the US bombing people around the world killing millions what nice people they are is there any wonder we have a problem ???
They are going to deploy 3,800 troops I suppose to protect the so called elite of the nation the rest well tough.
This is a prime example of how Tories look after themselves and their millionaire friends before they even think about considering the vast majority of the population.
That ghastly woman cut the numbers of police to give her chums a nice Corporation tax cut at the cost of every living soul in the UK. People are waking up to her farcical decision making.
Her STRONG horse has well and truly bolted out of the STABLE !!
It may be th old cynic in me coming out but…
I believe that because her Government cut Police numbers so much (Something Corbyn has promised to rectify) she couldn’t insist on more Police on the streets.
The raising of the threat level serves three purposes in her mind –
1. Justifies using troops to supplement Police numbers
2. Makes her look tough after she plummetted in the election Polls.
3, Troops on the street is the begining of the Military dictatorship that her ego desires.
Reality is that she is also relying on the public to supplement the Police work by panicking and reporting every Muslim in the country, creating paranoia, suspicion, division and fear – Bad move Kim Dong May !
What is apparently happening is the trained armed police are being relieved of their everyday duties, and being replaced with the armed forces to free up the trained armed police to do other police duties, given that our police are not usually armed this seems to be a good idea on the face of it.
The reason the troops have had to be brought in is, Theresa May got rid of 20,000 police.
Theresa May!
She has created a crisis, all by herself.
