We
believe that the police on Merseyside do have a very difficult job
to fulfil. We also believe that constant public reports, stating
that they act in a cavalier manner towards certain crimes, does
not enhance their image. It would be nice if we could
approach the local police with the trust that we once had in them
20 - 30 years ago. The police departments of old would
not have tolerated the crimes being committed by todays criminals. We
hasten to add that the police of old were aided and backed up by
a very strict justice system.
Todays justice
system accepts that burglary is not that serious a crime and accordingly
this belief has effectively tied the hands of the police.
We wonder what the Law Lords would think and do, if they ever had
their homes broken into and burgled .
The tears
would flow then.
Or
as we say in the Pool, "De wuden arf winge".
