The BBC has come to rely on Sir Hugh Orde, President of the ACPO cabal, to act as a counter for any Government proposal that might mean more effective policing. They had him on Today this morning in order that he could shoot down the suggestion coming from the Coalition that water-cannon could be deployed on our streets to prevent future riots. Orde has also been vocal in damning the suggestion that local people might choose to elect Police Commissioners. He is the very personification of the smug “elite” and the BBC runs to him each time it wants to undermine Theresa May.

Is he the police person who threatened to resign if forced to stand for election? Good riddance to him and ACPO, in my opinion.
Some interesting notions to be sure.
I think I heard him on the radio claiming water cannon only was warranted in the face of bombs or gunfire.
If they’d had one of these bad boys in the day, I’m sure Gerry and the brigade would have been scurrying for cover!
