Water cannon could be used on protesters in London

[max_tranmere]

Something else I saw on the news today. At the next protest that takes place on the scale of these last three the Police might hose down the protesters with powerful water jets.

Some guy in hush-puppies, chords, tweed jacket, scarf, and trying to disguise his Home Counties accent and sound very 'street' (man!) is standing there whining about something or other, then WHOOSH - he is hit with a powerful jet and lauches backwards into a statue. He then has to go to hospital and have stitching to his head (queue days and days of media coverage about 'heavy handed tactics employed by the authorities', how the authorities 'over reacted' and so on).

Does anyone think that using water cannon on these people in future will be a good idea?

The general public are already complaining at how unprepared we are for winter,so spraying gallons of water around London on a cold day will just turn it into the worlds biggest outdoor ice rink, old dears will fall and break their hips and then the government will be in even more s**t, let the students say what they want and make sure all royal cars have closed windows.

Water cannon are effective. Soak the twatts and they willlose all their ardour and fuck off. Seen it in Ulster.

About bloody time too!! Personally a bit of CS gas a some stun grenades would also calm these retards down.

Whatever "news" channel you rely on is very wide of the mark... it was SUGGESTED by some commentators that water cannon be used, but many very senior officers in the Met Police, including the commissioner, have ruled out the use of such tactics. Not even a question of "might"... there will be no water cannons deployed.

What you were watching was OPINION wrapped up as news... but it's not actually news. No doubt this "news" was provided by some of Rupert Murdoch's minions. Either that or you hear what you want to hear, and twist everything else to suit.

Stories about Water Cannon, stories about Royal Protection rozzers nearly drawing their guns because horse face got poked with a stick............


Either the Tories or the media (can't tell the difference sometimes) seem to be really rattled.

I wonder how long it's going to be now before Cameron decides on a U-Turn regarding cutting Police numbers?
