Boris Jumps The Gun On Water Cannon.

[Gromit]

News that Boris has bought 3 water cannon to keep his electorate under control this summer seems to have highlighted another row in the Conservative party.

The purchase was made despite the Home Secretary, Teresa May not yet sanctioning their use in England. She is waiting for medic reports. Boris had £220,000 burning a hole in his pocket, so splashed out (ahem) on the arsenal (more ahem).

And apparently Cameron wants them which kind of forces May's arm.

1. Is this a waste of money considering they may never be used?
2. Is this just jousting between Cameron's likely successors?
3. Is Cameron deliberately undermining May?
4. What have people got to riot about?
5. Are water cannon an admission that the police can no long cope?
6. Will Tory in-fighting affect their chances in the General Election?

How long until the yobs riot just for the fun of the water cannon?

I bet they won't try that in mid winter though.

Well an orgy of mass looting and violence with long standing family dept stores in smouldering ruins is'nt exactly pleasing to the tourist's eyes either is it?I have been to Athens,Paris,Berlin.No strangers to water cannon in these cities.It does'nt put me off going there.You just choose your times to visit.

I never realised that Boris was so popular that he needed even 1 water cannon to keep his adoring fans at bay, let alone 3 !

Boris uses the water cannon to keep millipede the wet that he is.

1) No, there are lots of things that hopefully may never be used, they work well in the rest of the EU, suprised you are not rejoicing gromit!
2) No, largely irrelevant to any future leadership issue, still it pleases the marxists to paint it as such.
3) No I think they are going to be sanctioned anyway May knows it too.
4) Who knows perhaps there are drug dealing scum for the police to shoot, or perhaps the great unwashed may riot over something they don't like. Then of course there is the Notting Hill crimeathon comming up.
5) are riot sheilds? Pepper spray? Truncheons? No just another tool gromit
6) No because there's no opposition anyway.

Are 1 and 4 an indicator that gromit has a crystal ball?

They have their uses!
