It has the potential to become unsavoury, and verges on a political discussion.

There's a time and place and for it and it's not here, now.

No disrespect intended to the OP, but there are official channels to work through.

Nah disagree... its not a political issue. The argument isn't conclusive either way and its really hard to be emphatic about what should happen and the tone is good.... But for all that most has been said that can be said and we probably won't reach any valid conclusion because there actually isn't one. It's all trade-offs.

Of course its been 25 years since I left the police thinking it was about to happen.... so to expect to reach conclusion might be a touch unrealistic....
