As the jihadis plot, how they must laugh at the foolishness and fecklessness of British authorities. While the British police increasingly devote their efforts to tracking down purveyors of “Islamophobic” speech, the next jihad massacre is being planned right now. Britain is finished.
“UK: Police Letting Suspects Go And ‘Hoping For The Best,’” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, November 25, 2017:
Police are “letting [suspects] off with a warning and hoping for the best” because they can’t cope with the scale of the crime problem, a senior officer has warned.
Since 2010, the number of custody cells has dropped by as much as 50 per cent, with further cuts planned to the suites where suspects are taken after they are picked up by police.
In a similar timeframe, the number of arrests saw a dramatic fall from 1.5 million in 2006/2007 to 780,000 in the year to March — despite large increases in recorded crime.
The reduction in custody cell numbers has seen Gloucestershire left with just one suite to cover the whole county, whilst several other counties including Cambridgeshire and Nottinghamshire have just two each.
As a result, driving a suspect to the nearest custody suite and back to the town where the arrest took place can take as long as four hours, according to Police Federation chairman Steve White, who said the cutbacks have led to “a change in the mindset of many officers not to arrest unless they absolutely have to”.
White told The Telegraph: “What is going through their mind is that ‘this person needs arresting, but there is no one left on the ground, is there going to be something else more pressing that I might have to deal with?
“So what they are doing is letting someone off with a warning and hoping for the best. Hoping for the best that person does not go on to do something terrible,” added White….
Police have blamed budget cuts for the plummeting number of arrests in Britain, with the Metropolitan Police having said cutbacks mean they can no longer look into many “low level” crimes.
But, with the number of arrests over “hateful” comments posted online rising as much as 877 per cent in some parts of England, the Met boasting of having more than 900 specialist “hate crime” investigators, and officers touring mosques to tell worshippers to report any perceived slights to their community, people have questioned whether forces are spending their resources wisely.

I spent about 40 seconds trying to figure out what that revolting picture has to do with the content of the article but had to give up (I have a thing about men with painted nails)
Gbox says
My first reaction was that no terrorist or criminal has anything to fear from that officer.
Benedict says
— while law-abiding, sound-minded British citizens have everything to fear from such an officer. –
Britain has turned against herself and will not last.

Hey kessler,
This JW story from a month ago will remind you of how the UK is going insane:

James says
A policeman with painted nails ? The sissification of the public services in the UK continues. Don’t be a bloody pansy ! Girlymen like that ought to be given the heave-ho.
LeftisruiningCanada says
You clearly have no place in a tolerant and gender equal society Mr James.
Tony says
I was doing the same thing,, what is that thing in a police outfit. The world has turned upside down and it is not looking good
Anne Smith says
It was done to draw attention to the fact that a lot of nail bars are staffed by Vietnamese immigrants who are “allegedly” slave labour and Mrs May has a real thing about modern day slavery. So the Police have been told to make it one of their priorities.
Mrs May also has a thing about protecting Muslims, which is why checking nasty comments about them on the internet is another priority. Have a look at Mrs May’s Eid message to Muslims on Youtube.
Actually most of us think the nail bars may be a bit of a front for drug trafficking – but the slavery thing is what counts these days.
Don’t forget most of the Chief Constables have undergone the “Common Purpose” training courses and are fully committed to Marxist indoctrination.
IanB says
Do American readers know of Common Purpose?
Google “Common Purpose exposed” for elucidation.
JAR says
Britain might not be so finished if they instead had 900 specialist jihadist crime investigators to pursue what really needs to be done.
They have time to tour and aid mosques! They can tackle online “hate crime” commenters! Such high level priorities! But they can’t address “low level” crimes elsewhere.
Brits are shooting themselves (and their citizens) in the foot and digging their own graves. They must be trying to surpass Sweden as most counterproductive country.
Go ahead and let them off with a warning. How’s that working for you? That’s like the marines using harsh language against the Aliens (1986). Hope for the best, yes, but prepare for the worst.
Barry says
….Alice in Britainistan….1984 now….2+2=5…..
Barry says
I’m not sure if it was the original ‘Airplane’ move or the sequel (I believe it was the sequel)..where there’s a scene at security checkpoint before boarding a plane….Islamic-looking men with weapons and bullet jackets are waved through security…..then a little old lady goes through security check and she’s badly roughed up, roughly padded down, etc…….we all snickered and laughed at the absurdity….but it’s now REALITY in places of the world….reality mimicking fiction, and absurd fiction at that…and it’s the farthest thing from being funny…
Charles says
The death of European Civilization!
Being played out, before our very eyes!
Sure makes me wish there was some other planet I could migrate to!
The coming World War against these Children of Satan (muslims) will be the worse mankind has ever experienced!
I can’t even imagine what will be left of “Civilization” once it’s all over! ?
Vyx says
Here’s my theory: British police stop making arrests, except for things like “hate speech.”
When it’s time to report the crime stats locally and nationally, the powers that be can say that crime has gone down, except for hate speech. And consequently will impose MORE hate speech laws on their taxpayers, to cement Britain as an islamic nation.
I believe that Sweden is taking a similar approach. Probably suggested by Soros, or one of his minions.
Richard says
“Since 2010, the number of custody cells has dropped by as much as 50 per cent, with further cuts planned to the suites where suspects are taken after they are picked up by police.”
Prison cells are disappearing? Where are they going? Vanishing into thin air? Being turned into housing for migrants? At this rate, by 2024 all prison cells in Britain will have vanished and criminals will have to be incarcerated in the homes of private citizens. Or shopping malls. Or fish & chip shops.
Jayell says
The Mayor of Manchester (NOT a muslim, surprise, surprise!!) has recently given an estimate of the total cost of the Arena massacre. £28 million!! So, no doubt, this is ‘the best’ that the Police are going to hope for? And if it’s that amount for just one isolated muslim atrocity, what’s the total so far since, say, the year 2000? That’s going to be even better for the police, isn’t it?
Jack Holan says
It doesn’t require much common sense to answer the last question. Why don’t the Police become PM Mays Full Time Militia and assign every officer Full Time to monitoring “hate speech” on behalf of Muslims only. There no other more important crimes then this in England
WESTPAC Spy says
Damn, this is a depressing site. But then I’m used to it. Like Robert, I studied Islam back in the ’80s. I really only took it because I was a poli sci major and my honors thesis was on Soviet Central Asia; the “southern tier” of historically Islamic SSRs. And I found I could use the same papers for both classes with only minor changes using the word processors we had at the time. Since I was attending UC Santa that meant I could spend more time at the beach.
I had enough credits that I could have doubled majored in poli sci and religious studies but I figured it was going to be tough enough to get through life with just the poli sci degree. Then I joined the Navy as an intel officer and I continued studying Islam because I spent all my operational time in the Pacific Fleet and in addition to North Korea the Middle East/South West Asia was the other hot spot that took up most of my time.
I went into the reserves after my first ten years but was recalled following 9/11 to provide intelligence support to force protection. So I continued to study Islam because that was the reason I was recalled. Entirely independent of Robert I knew it was vital to study our enemies, whether the NORKs or the adherents of Islam. The Muslims don’t have a very thick playbook but they’ve been using it effectively for 12 centuries (note I don’t say 14). Thing is, what I was doing wasn’t even controversial back then. In fact, I can tell you that studying Islam wasn’t even an original thought on my part. It was such an obvious thing to do a lot of naval/military intel officers were studying Islam. It was like “Well, duh, of course we have to understand why they’re doing what they’re doing and how they plan on doing it.”
Why have we grown so much stupider since 2003, my last year on active duty?
WESTPAC Spy says
I mean, Thomas Jefferson figured this out in the 18th century. It’s why we have a Navy.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Do you think it’s a change in the politics – moving leftward – that is causing the protection of islam in the west, or what?
Sir!
WESTPAC Spy says
Definitely. It started while I was in. Particularly after the Tailhook “scandal” in ’92. That started the feminization of the military. I put scandal in scare quotes because although they didn’t use the term “toxic masculinity” back then, they definitely understood the concept. The women in Congress were adamant that they get convictions but every officer who refused non judicial punishment and demanded court martial was acquitted. This angered the congresswomen who didn’t see the acquittals as any form of justice but as proof that military culture needed to be changed. As did the larger culture. To make a long story short that was just the beginning and by the time I retired in 2008 America had become indefensible. That is why Obama was elected. Our enemies were right and we were wrong. Within the military we have something known as the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute or DEOMI. Imagine every bad idea from every gender, ethic, queer, trans grievance studies departments from the most leftist university imaginable (as if they ever produce any good ideas) and you’ll get an idea of the kind of training they produce. Good Sailors want to quit in droves, just as soon as they can, because “General Military Training” is now just a beat down of straight white male Sailors. They are “privileged” in a “white supremacist system.”
As you read about Navy warships running aground, getting surprised by merchant ships and losing Sailors as the DDGs or CGs get holed amidships, or Riverine Command Boats blundering into Farsi Island in the Gulf, don’t blame the Sailors. They’re doing the best they can given the fact that actually training for combat has dropped to 10th place behind women in combat, gays in the military, transgenders in the military training, and a host of other social justice training objectives.
Regarding the Farsi Island thing, people of my generation were wondering, how the hell does that happen? When I was in (damn kids these days! Get off my lawn) we didn’t even change berths in the Gulf without briefing the crap out of the evolution. Apparently they just winged the transit from Iraq to Bahrain. Given that one of the boats was not fully mission capable there should have been a major combatant in the area. The boats missed an underway refueling availability as they don’t have the range to make the transit on one bag of gas. And no one noticed. And Farsi Island is so easy to avoid as it’s just a tiny speck.
I visit the US Naval Institute blog and all us old fogies were nodding our grey heads in agreement as one wag said, “But at least they had their annual SAPR training qualification in order.”
That stands for Sexual Assault Prevention and Reporting. One of the Navy’s new highest priorities. Certainly higher than planning, ship/small boat handling, navigation, or how to rig a tow.
WESTPAC Spy says
By indefensible I mean both literally in a military sense, and intellectually. Try to find a major Western leader who can defend the concept of free speech, one of the major pillars of Western civilization. But why should they; Western civilization was in is inherently evil. Which meant that Muslims became the sacred “other;” brown people oppressed and exploited by the most evil civilization ever to evolve on earth. How could anyone on the left do anything except sabotage our military involvement. The sacred other, the Muslims, the perpetual victims, must win.
And of course we must be prevented from winning wars. This is, I am convinced, what Barack Obama meant when he said during the ’08 campaign when he said he was not going to just end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but end our “bad habits” that mean we keep getting into wars in the first place. What are those bad habits? A strong economy that allows us to have a strong military. The economic damage was deliberate. I knew it during his campaign when he said you can’t have a strong military unless you have a strong economy. I knew then that if anyone expected any economic growth under that guy they were fools. Sure enough we had the worst economy and the deliberate destruction of our military by turning it into a social justice petri dish ensued.
Of course, you either win wars or lose them. You don’t just end them. The idea of “ending” a war without either winning or losing is an ancient concept. In the past, though, it was known as “abandoning your allies in the field.” Obama took it one step further and replenished our enemies in the field, trading five top commanders for one traitor.
Not that GWB was blameless. Unlike Obama, who was ideologically committed to undermining the US and its allies by strengthening our enemies, Bush was hopelessly clueless. And in the course of eight years President George “Islam is a religion of peace; Islam means peace” Bush demonstrated he stubbornly intended to wallow in his ignorance. I think that’s what he meant by “compassionate conservatism.” There were several times during his two terms I’d throw up my hands and I’d think if the Democrats want impeach this guy, go right ahead. I’m not going to defend this cluster (blank) of an administration.
DRHazard says
I am 100% certain that just quoting one of the Quran’s disgusting claims about non-Muslims would be considered hate speech. And worse, the charge would stick even it it was proven that was all that happened. They would just decide their was some kind of malicious intent, not from Muhammad’s “authentic” words but from the person quoting him (under his pseudonym Allah).
Lydia says
Oh sure, they can’t go after the real threats, but the can come after those exposing the real threats… typical! These law enforcement types should go back to their fairy ballet and stop playing cops during the day!
John Forbes says
I BELIEVE VERY FIRMLY THAT THE ELITE & BANKS & INSURANCE & THE CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION HAVE ALREADY LOOKED & FEEL THAT FREE SPEECH, RELIGION & DEMOCRACY ARE NOT WORTH FIGHTING FOR!
I THINK THAT THEY FEEL THAT AS FAITH HAS BEEN TOSSED INTO THE DUSTBIN – A CHANGE IS AS GOOD AS HOLIDAY!
THIS BEHAVIOUR JUST SERVES TO SOFTEN THE GENERAL PUBLIC UP FOR SHARIA INTRODUCTION & NOT THAT FAR DOWN THE TRACK!
carol says
The City of London (with a capital “C”) is one of THREE UNACCOUNTABLE CITY STATES. The other two are Washington D.C. and the Vatican. Can we begin to guess how much Islamic money is influencing them? This is a reality affecting everyone and therefore shouldn’t the common man understand more about this dark underbelly?
London’s Inner City – Privately owned Corporation – City State of London
Carolyne says
One can never “Hope for the best” with Muslims. Muslims have no best.
MFritz says
Same story as with BLM and black mob criminality in the US.
“We can’t arrest our way out of this.”
Corrupt politicians (and their parties) protect “minority” criminals and terrorists and the police has to stop arresting and prosecuting.
