Cassandra your name is..... Peter Hitchens?

National Crime Agency (NCA) or KGB, the link to the opinion piece from Peter Hitchens encapsulates some interesting views on where policing in the UK might well end up.

Given the lamentable performance of MPs, the Home Office and the Coalition Government, quite a few people may well find Mr Hitchens's views credible, not Orwellian fiction.

If the Government must follow this line, why not split Local Policing, say to the Ministry of Justice and the NCA to the Home Office. Then give both “sides” responsibility for keeping each other honest!

More of a French style of solution, but it should go a long way to preventing an all powerful, out of control national police force?

Your comments are, of course, always welcome

PS  Let's not forget that Cassandra was cursed with accurate foresight, but people would not believe her predicitions!
