Policing is political because Labour and the chief constables have made it so

I have no time for the whining of Sir Hugh Orde about having to answer to the public for the service they pay for and require him to carry out.

The police have been massively politicised by New Labour and infiltrated by equality groups and more sinister organisations like Common Purpose.

The constabulary are now the shock troops who knock on old ladies door to accuse them of hate crimes for writing letters to the council complaining about the morality of some public displays certain lobbies insist in rubbing everyone's noses in.

Labour have politicised the police with their targets and reporting. The Diversity industry is also a political project.

Like many people I cheered as Boris saw off Sir Iain Blair (Labour's favourite policeman with very string of New Labour links ) and would like to see the police respond to the public, not the jumped up student politicians who have spent their lives creating artificial crimes to oppress and avenge themselves on the middle classes with. ( Which in most of their cases is really a case of self hatred which they should get psychiatric help with. )

In many ways the fact Sit Hugh Orde doesn't like Conservative plans for elected sheriffs shows what a great idea they are. If loads of Chief Constables want to resign like Sir Iain Blair did - then I think there will be far more cheering from the public than any other reaction.

"Its all Damian Green's fault for getting arrested"

Jaqui Smith ( your best mates Mum who Gordon Brown has pretending to be Home Sec right now ) is trying to make the best she can out of her retreat on local accountability for the police.

The debating scheme she's using is to blame "the Tories" ( when is it ever anyone else ) for politicising the issue of the police. Thoughts of pots and name calling of kettles spring to mind here.

The examples Jaqui rolls out are:

1. Boris pulling the rug from under Sir Ian "Labour's favourite Policeman" Blair. ( In the mayor new role which Labour created - thinking their man would be running the Met and Town hall ).
   
2. Damian Green getting himself arrested for trying to hold the government to account for key security information it has tried to suppress for, um, political reasons.

But the Guardian states that its really certain police officers and senior Labour council leaders.

Back in the real world there has been some concern about the politicisation of the police for some time. Officers with right on views about the community and diversity seem to do very well. The police have now turned on the middle classes ( easier to fill up their political targets to get Labour minister re-elected that way than catch hardened criminals ).

Who can remember how the police treated the country side march early in Labour's reign ?

The truth is that the police are already politicised, very politicised. Its too late to reverse it.

Labour have just woken up to how much political control they have over the police and the only result of democratic control would be the lose of the Labour party's control.

One political party has undue influence over the police and its developing culture.

That's why we need elected local police boards.

That's why we now need a Conservative government to deliver them - because labour daren't do it as they now realise what they stand to lose.
