Sir Keir's 'Standing Army'

[sandyRoe]

Will he be directing Yvette Cooper to dust down Thatcher's plans for a police heavy squad to confront the miners?

There's nothing new under the sun.

[youngmafbog]

No idea what he is thinking, I somehow dont thing he does either.

You cant just conjure up the SPG from thin air.

Perhaps if he stopped fanning the flames and actually listened to people things may calm dow.  But at present he appears totally and utterly out of his depth as is Pixie.

^Hear hear!

[Sinead_O]

No, this time the police will be wearing pride flags and waving plastic wands.

I know it can't happen but I would really like to have a transcript or audio recording of the Cobra meetings.

[Stableford]

I thought the point of Labour's army was to make British taxpayers fork out for extra mosque security and protect the Illegal Immigrant Holiday Inns?   

[ynnafymmi]

Perhaps if SKS was to address the elephant in the room which is mass,uncontrolled illegal immigration he wouldnt need to have a heavy squad to deal with these rioters.

Keir Starmer, the nation's very own chocolate fireguard.

[Peter Pedant]

No idea what he is finking, I somehow dont fink he does eeva.

There is a centrist view for you!

Now here we have a labout govt taking about a "standing army" an ex DPP no less

and is there anyone here that did History O level ? ( cries of foo what dat etc) - bill of rights 1689 ( foo what dat etc) and no  standing army....( agreement in the Bill that there shall be no  standing army)

so that is why boys and girls - we have an annual Army Act ( cries of do we? where den?) as we dont have a standing army

hence my puzzlement... at Starmers phrase - I  mean god he really should  know...

( cries of delete him! complete him! excrete him! etc - and songs of 'we're all going to Liveeer pool! for a riot of two!)

and sandy you naughty boy - I really expected YOU to remember !

[Peter Pedant]

foo dare we are

Bill of Rights [1688]

https://www.legislation.gov.uk ;› aep › introduction

By raising and keeping a Standing Army within this Kingdome in time of Peace without Consent of Parlyament and Quartering Soldiers contrary to Law. Disarming ..

well reader if the alternative is interminable AB posts (good common sense!) , then you cant er blame me for sampling the er Bill of RIghts 1689 and other interesting act of 400 y ago

[youngmafbog]

Do you own a big muscled right forarm PP?

[Old_Geezer]

If what stops him is not having Consent of Parlyament, then it's a pity his party doesn't have a huge majority then. Oh... hang on a mo...

[Spungle]

The bloke doesn't even want to recall Parliament over this, despite cross party consensus (Nigel Farage, Diane Abbott, Priti Patel).  Well he's making his own bed.

[chrisuk013]

I wonder how many of the rumoured 6000 officers will be in shape to tackle the rioters? All i have seen so far is obease and poorly trained officers.

Too much time cruising about in BMWs. They would be much fitter walking the beat!
