That’s the last thing we need!!!

I have found over the years that FEOs generally have a limited knowledge. Unfortunately an awful lot of gun owners are woefully lacking in even grasping the basics.

OK, what's the basis for your opinion about a national police force?

it's not a national police force, its policing one area the same way as another. every region is different. how they do things in London isn't necessarily the best way to Police somewhere in somerset say.

local control, just like councils.

looks like we wont have long to wait .

Having first hand experience of it probably gives him some insight

Local control, just like councils ???
I attended a few council meetings some years ago, and I wasn't impressed with the ability of the members to control anything.....
And don't get me started on refuse collection......

Pete

Council committees are generally staffed by 'volunteers' who have zero experience and/or knowledge with the matter they're presiding over (planning committees being a top culprit), and they're just there to top up their pensions and because they haven't got proper hobbies, not really a fair comparison

Some evidence of "local control" under the current system:
