YET again, on TV Question Time, we got the cry that we want more beat bobbies. Why? -- They would only be isolated.
People don't walk up and down the street any more. They walk across the pavement into their car or drive across it from their driveway. TV and cars for the majority have done away with community as we knew it.
What's the answer? I don't know, but it certainly isn't beat bobbies. Criminals don't walk -- they are 90 per cent mobile.
