Ben Barclay @benbarclay.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Portsmouth is in Hampshire, but I get your point. I would counter that the government has to have a way of dealing with this kind of incident, including bringing in police from outside the county. And I’m sure there are contingency plans. 110 0
David @1daveymo.bsky.social · 07/09/2026My bad. Hampshire will have the same issues only 3400 officers. Cleveland force under 1300 where there is much trouble at the moment. I agree. Government need to have a way of dealing but suspect the solution is a big and expensive increase in officer numbers and Prison places for the arrested. 110 0
