I am writing today about the tragedy that was the cold blooded killing of the two police officers in Manchester yesterday. However, I am not in full agreement with the official story behind the shootings. Out of all the interviews I watched on various news channels, the phrase most used was that the police should be armed as a matter of course while carrying out their duties. This sent my mind into overdrive, wrongly, I hope, with the scenario that these two policewomen were sacrificed to give the powers that be the pretext to arm the UK police forces. My reasoning behind this is that when the future economic plunge into meltdown occurs, the Police will already be armed and there won't have to be the usual formality of a court order permitting them to carry firearms. With these two murders, the people who are really in charge of this country have created a problem which in turn has provoked a reaction and so the pre- arranged solution is able to be carried out, not forgetting that it is the public who are calling out for this. Thankfully, it will be weeks, if not months before an act of Parliament can be passed allowing the routine arming of our policemen and women. As I said, I sincerely hope I have got it wrong, and if so I will post an apology.
My sympathies go out to the families of the two police women who were so cruelly murdered.
Till next time.
