re: #366 McSpiff

Typical internet tough guy. You want to hold off 50 rioters with a kitchen knife. Mmmmhmmm. Because you don’t want to expand police power? Hint: the police already have the power to stop rioting and arson, they’ve just chosen not to use it this far.

Actually, they simply don’t have the power. The Napoleonic steps they would have to take to put down the riots abruptly are outside the circle of what Britain does. Of what Britain is.

Britain is not Syria.
