Whilst I understand why a lessons learned exercise is needed (although timing is debatable as the disorder is ongoing), I’m not sure what benefit there is to have an independent reviewer (which will presumably cost a pretty penny) when all the organisations involved are perfectly capable of doing it themselves.
And the results of the review should be fairly obvious. Two opposing religious ideologies have been allowed to drag their own brand of hate from a country their grandparents emigrated from and it hasn’t been stamped on because of a fear by the authorities of causing offence.
The moment this shit started happening the police should have crushed it. Instead every video and news report I’ve seen has been of the police committing resources in a piecemeal fashion and not letting them wear NATO helmets and use shields because of public perception.
The fact that those cops have been sent in with baseball caps whilst bricks are being chucked at them is a disgrace.
There’s no place for this nonsense here, it isn’t legitimate protest its bullshit extremism.
Maybe the problem is that multi-cultural societies are doomed to internal disorder when some of those cultures are antithetical to others.
Watching all this unfold does leave me thinking: _“Where on earth are all the police, and why are none of them equipped with riot gear?_
It’s the Police, the whole Police and nothing but the fault of the Police. They will get the blame, not the little angels whose parents let them go out to play for the first time without mummy and daddy.
